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.
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.

I love seeing all your paintings and your snowmen are adorable
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Pam. Scritches to the furbabes. ♥
I'm very jealous that you didn't get much snow. We had around nine inches between Saturday and Sunday.
