a new home gift…..

April 20, 2011

I have been looking at my Pennsylvania Dutch style artwork and choosing the images that I think make great personalized gifts. The above image originally read “Live in Harmony”…..which I love that statement, too, and could still be used when personalizing. Not only would this make a great housewarming gift but also a gift to a family for any occasion….wedding, birthday, Christmas. I will be posting this for sale at my Etsy shop today……or tomorrow as today is already slipping away………

Tis the season for weddings! I have the honor of attending the wedding of someone special on April 30th. Witnessing this holy union between two people that love and honor one another enough to commit to a lifetime together always makes me think of my own wedding day….. my heart flutters, joy fills my soul and there is a twinkle in my eye when I gaze upon my husband. I am blessed to have found my soul mate and I’m thankful we are still going strong! 
I have many paintings that can be converted into wonderfully beautiful wedding or anniversary gifts. Above is an example of a painting where I removed the original quote I had painted and replaced it with a wedding quote and our names and wedding date. This print is an 11×14 available on my Etsy shop. If you see a print that you would like converted into a wedding/anniversary gift that is not already for sale at my Etsy shop, please email me (teresakogut@yahoo.com) to order.
LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Aunt Marsha’s Garden
My Aunt and Uncle have a gorgeous home and farm in Missouri. This is the view on the south side of their home. You can see my Uncle’s red barn in the background. It is located just across the street from where he grew up.

A new member of the family
Here is Kitty-Kitty…..I am more of a dog person, but I have to admit, this big kitty is special. She is the most friendly, cuddly kitty I’ve ever met. She just showed up one day at the farm and has stuck around. When we arrived with our dogs in tow, she never ran or showed fear…..shoot, the following day Buster and Kitty-Kitty were laying next to one another.

he’s 18

March 31, 2011

Kyle 2 years old

My first born celebrated his 18th birthday yesterday. Hard to believe……people tried to warn me, “it goes fast, so enjoy it while you can.” But is seems a blink of an eye and my lil’ boy is grown into a man and will soon be making a life of his own. :'(
As you make your way through this world, Kyle, just know how much you are loved and that we are always praying for you. You will find your way, we have no doubt……you will do fine.
With love, Dad & Mom

I saved the best for last! I LOVE this painting! The color, her sweet little face, her staring eyes and most of all the cupcake!! I am lovin’ this BFF series and can’t wait to paint more! I am under strict deadlines….I have a show April 15, 16, 17 and would love to have a few more of these painted, photographed and made into prints on wood for the show. Also, the Surtex deadline is April 1st. Surtex is a trade show in New York where my agents meet with licensees to show them new art and hopefully meet new licensees. Soooooo……next week will be insanely busy! ta-ta for now 🙂
