Mindy Lacefield is an artist, who has graced the pages of many Stampington publications. This is her art on the cover.

She even has her own rubber stamps! You can see more of her art on her blog and her etsy store. You can read about her journey here. She has worked in the steel industry and was a make-up artist. Her art business grew so much, she was able to quit her day job. She is teaching an online class called "Paint Your Story".

I won her give away, it truly made my month! I have always been intrigued by her art, how happy it is! I use to paint, but haven't for awhile. I am looking forward to this journey! I remember when I sold my first painting. I was thirteen, my Mom had signed me up for painting lessons. My grandmother asked me to paint a fantasy scene, mice with daisy umbrellas. I was kind of unsure, but she encouraged me. The day I gave her the art, she was so happy. She hung it in a special spot. Then she told me I was an artist and handed me some $. I said, "No, it is for you."

She said, "Artist get paid for their work, their imaginative eye." She tucked the money in my pocket. I remember how she made me feel special and how she made time for me, no matter what. It makes such a difference in this journey called life, when we have people who believe in us and encourage our passions, our hopes and dreams. I hope you have that in your life!

Thank you Mindy, I am thrilled to play with paint again! I have been away too long from this medium and look forward to it~
