Watercolor Journaling

Hello there, my name is Brenda Knoll. I am a self representing artist living in Lewiston, Idaho. Taking my classes supports my art so: THANK YOU for taking my classes.

I am a Christian, wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, I have a cosmetology license and a business degree.  

Between my husband and I, we have 8 kids, kids in law, and 12 grandkids, We have a big family which is great because my husband and I are both family orientated and love kids. D+B is our brand.

A fun factoid about my husband and myself is that we met and married in under 90 days. I still remember the first time I ever saw him, he was rescuing me with the biggest smile I had ever seen on a man, meow.

My biggest passion right now is grandkids. Grandkids are great because: 1. It is like having kids but with an excellent au pair nannies built in that work to provide shoes, clothes, toys and pay all Dr/dentist/glassess etc bills. 2. Babies, snuggles, fun. 3. They are always up for a good time, you never have to go to the store alone (unless you want to, then leave them with the au pair ;)wink! it's true!

I laugh when the au pair complains about anything related to the grandkids because THEY ARE MY REWARD, lol, true!

I am always amazed by folks who are crazy about their animals but do not understand my obsession with my grandkids, ummmmm. cute, snuggle, fun, I can afford them! They are little people, come on.

Not only am I obsessed with my grandkids, they are obsessed with me = 3 of them cry when they have to leave my house and 2 of them hide when their au pair (parents) get here, it could be the ice cream for breakfast tho... you never know. 

Right?! My life is everything I ever wanted, I am so happy it scares me. They say that people can't make you happy but that is a lie, look at that photo of Mila above, are you kidding me? YASSSSSSSS. I have an entourage that looks like that when I am around, FOR REAL. Yep, love the babies. 

Thanks for taking an interest in myself and my art.
