Another Twist on a Favorite

My name canvases are one of my best-sellers, and this is a new twist on the traditional design. I'm just noticing that you can't see the last name well because of the glare on the photo. Sorry!

There Could Never Be a More Beautiful You

I recently painted this canvas for a dear friend's daughter. She chose the words from a song by Jonny Diaz called "More Beautiful You," a song I love! It will hang in her bathroom where her precious little girl will read the words everyday. I don't know about you, but I could stand to read those words everyday myself.

Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
PS- I've been painting like crazy. I just haven't uploaded the photos yet.

I'm Back!

After much thought and prayer, I have decided to stop my graduate school program for now. God has clearly shown me that even though I was only going to be in class 1-2 nights per week, the time I would need to complete my coursework would take away from me being the kind of mommy I want to be. Degrees will always be there, but my sweet boys will not always be little! I loved my summer class, the material, and the intellectual stimulation, but I know this is the best decision for me and my family.

That said, I will now have some time to paint! Preschool will be in full swing next week, so I will have a couple days a week to myself. If you were considering ordering something for yourself or as a gift, please let me know. I still may not have a speedy turnaround, but I am taking orders again! I will be taking Christmas orders until probably October. I'll let you know an exact deadline soon.

Thanks! And to my two most recent customers, K and H, thank you for your patience and for letting me be a part of your children's rooms! Congratulations to you both!

Slowing Down

Hi,
No photos today- just a short announcement. I started graduate school this week; it's the first time I've been in school since 2000! Because of that overwhelming exciting adventure plus my everyday responsibilities as a wife, mom, and household manager, I have little time for showering painting. I will still be taking some orders here and there, but please know that they will take longer than usual for completion and delivery. And if I tell you that I just can't fill your order when you ask, please understand that it is only because I am prepping for a mid-term or writing a paper or something; it will have nothing to do with you or your particular order! Thanks for understanding.

For Baby Carson

A friend ordered this canvas for her new nephew, Carson. It has a monogram on the background, but I think it's hard to see in the photo (I need to figure out how to fix that!).

It goes with this super-cute bedding Circles bedding from Target. Check it out!
