    I checked out her website and found some neat stuff there, Thank You, for the suggestion.
    Went to Hobby Lobby today and picked up some red, white and blue sparkle sprays but think I'll save them for 4th of July. Maybe I'll just use the red, white and blue colors without the razzle dazzle for this solumn occassion.

    I did a window that is actually what alot of people call americana decor. If you can find an old window. I posted a pic under some more windows I've painted but I'll include one here for you to see. It isn't as hard as it looks. I cut out 50 stars and used some of that sticky tack and put them to a board that I used to craft on then I just measured out the stripes to get them as close to even as I could. I added just a little black to the bright red and blue to make them look antiqued and used a pale off white for the white

    I forgot to add something. That is the good thing about painting glass, you can use coloring sheets or a large piece of white paper to place under the window or glass and it is alot easier than trying to pull an idea out of your head as you paint, it is for me anyway. Not everyones brain is like mine though. I have to do that most of the time or I forget what I was painting lol
