My May Giveaway

Oh, it has been a crazy... well, life. We are moving soon. So, trying to pack and take care of my family and business has kept me pretty stinkin' busy.

Let's cut to the chase here... My giveaway for this month is one of my favorite things. One of my very own little crown frames. Wouldn't it just look darling in a little girl's room?

Leave a comment on THIS POST before midnight Friday, the 8th - tell me whose little face you are picturing in this frame. I will be announcing the winner this Saturday morning.

Have I said "little" enough yet?

This was a gift for my sister in law who is ready to have a baby girl anytime now. She already had something similiar in her son, Charlie's room and since she is having a girl this time, she wanted to have the same pieces for Kate. I created a girly version of the same frame that reads, "Our home has been enlarged by 2 feet". Perfect for two little footprints on the bottom right corner. I also made two plaques - one for a handprint and one for a footprint. I was very happy with how they turned out and I always say, since I have two boys, that I love doing girl stuff!



If you are interested, let me know. I can make these for the little person in your life, too.

Life Is Busy, Life Is Good

This is a canvas I made for a mom of a four year old boy named Nolan. She recently had bought one of my frames from a local shop here in town and contacted me about making an original, fun piece of wall art for her son's new big boy surfer themed bedroom. I love how it turned out!





A surprise for another customer who just happens to be a friend and one of my son's teachers. She had placed an order with me and I thought since her birthday is coming up and she likes to decorate her house for all holidays, that she definately needed a birthday themed photo/memo clip. Now she can use it for all the birthdays in her household.



A sophisticated monkey frame for a girl. That was an original request, but I managed to pull it off. It was so fun and I totally love the monkey!!



It's so in my heart and head to blog more often. However, I'm at the mercy of my darn computer that decides when it wants to work. Currently we are borrowing one that doesn't have a card reader and I have to arrange time wth my dear sis in law to use her's.

So, for now I will show you what I've been working on in between the boys' basketball awards ceremony, taking care of my house, recovering from surgery, making puppets for a class project and all the other fun and sometimes mundane things in my life. I'm so thankful to have a creative outlet. My hubbie is very supportive and our boys love to come in my studio and hang out doing art projects while I work. Life is good!

Come back tomorrow, leave a comment and you will be entered to win. It's that easy. Feel free to tell your friends too (if you promise me you will be happy for them if THEY win)

So Tweet

Valentine's Day is just a few days away. Our six year old is excited to give and receive valentines from his friends at school. However, I still needed to come up with a gift for him to give to one of his teachers. She's young, single and stylish, so I came up with this. I thought it fit her perfectly. It's a pencil and pen holder, but I think it's a piece of art that works part time as a desk accessory. I filled it with mini candy bars, a fancy pen and hip pencil. Her first name starts with a "C" so there is a "C" hidden on the birdie. I hope she likes it. I am going to make more of these and have them available in my etsy store soon. If you want one custom made that would be even "tweeter".

Love Is In The Air...

It's getting to be that time of year again when you fell the desire to get a special something for that special someone. Here's a few things I've been working on lately. This Sweetie Pie Handbag, the Hugs and Kisses Photo frame, the Love Mini Scrapbook and the Love Is In The Air - Photo/Memo Clip. These one of a kind creations are now for sale in my ETSY store along with lots of other treasures. Go shopping today-just go to my sidebar and click on Shop In My Etsy Store. It's that easy. If you see something you like-snatch it up. If you would like a different color or theme, just let me know.
I LOVE custom orders!
HAVE FUN!

I'M UP TO SOME THINGS...

Ok, first of all, I have to show these off! I can't take the credit for them because they were made by my two boys, but aren't they the cutest ever?! I guess all this Christmas crafting is rubbing off on them.

What I'VE been up to lately....

Just a little peak at some personalized Christmas and birthday gifts. Busy, busy time. If you still want to order for Christmas, please email me soon. The other day, I was at the post office and the line was almost out the door....already! That made me nervous! I want to have enough time to work on your order and get it into your hands before Santa head's down the chimney.
