Cedar Chest, Snow People and Paintings

 In 1925

The Lane Cedar Box 

Company

started an amazing 

thing. 

They started passing out

mini cedar chest to

all girls graduating high school

It did not end until 

2004.

Yes, I got one.

Yes, I still have it.

Not sure I still have the key,

need to check that. 

Over those years from 

25 to 04

Lane gave out 27

million of these little boxes.

If interested you can read

about it here...

I painted one of these

a few weeks back but I

gave it to Paula for

her bday. We both like

our snow folks.

So I made another one

for me.

The other night I 

wanted to paint.

Body was not allowing

much more than that

and it was snowing

outside, what better

way to spend the day.

I have a couple of ladies

coming over to paint

in a week or so, so I 

have painted up the 

ones they are interested in.

Brianna, expecting mom, 

and young woman I 

photographed her senior

class pics about six 

yrs ago, is doing 

this one.

And Kimmy, my sis in law

is doing this one.

The original one is done on

two 8x10 canvas but I could

not sleep the other night

so I went ahead and started it...

but I did not have the 8x10 canvas.

This is what it looks like

on two canvas.

I also changed up colors to 

my liking.

I finished up the Key

painting this afternoon but

I had a commission piece

to do. 

DONE...

I have been busy and pushing

through the pain. 

Snowed on Sunday.

I did not go and play out

in it. We only got a little

over an inch. 

Not worth it.

I did go out on the deck

to clean it off for the dog

and I made this.

And I wrote Cory and

Britney their snow note.

Hoping your week is going well,

Pam
