pretty peacock

I finally finished my paint by numbers I bought myself for my birthday last October! Hallelujah! I swear I could hear angels from heaven singing that I was finally done! Cause guys, paint by numbers is not as easy as it looks. This took 6 months of my life to complete! 6 months! Granted I didn't work on it everyday...sometimes taking weeks off, but that's still a super long craft project! Not to discourage any future paint by numbers crafters out there, cause it was fun and I do want to do another someday. The only thing I recommend for beginners is to start with a smaller paint by numbers and don't use the boring colors that come with the pack. I'm buying fun colors to paint my next project....and when enough time has passed and I don't hate the time it took me to do this painting I want to go over some colors with some bright exciting ones! I feel like it's asking me for some emerald greens and bright purples...maybe some turquoise too.

    1. They sell them at the craft store! Who knew?!? I got mine at JoAnn's, but I think Michaels has them as well.
