My Mom

My mom will probably hate this picture, but I love it. It's the real her...a camera in one hand and a baby in the other! What a picture of multi-tasking. Isn't that what moms are known for? Happy Mother's Day to my mom, and all of the hard working moms out there!

Please add Jackson, Dietra, Joey, and their entire family to your prayer list.

Gift Certificates Available

Beth Newport called to order a birthday gift for Aiden and Anslee Miller. She knew they were doing some redecorating, but wasn't exactly sure of what they would need. A lot of people have that same problem. They want to get a special gift, but want them to be able to pick out exactly what they want! For this reason, I decided to offer gift certificates. These certificates can be purchased in any amount and can be redeemed for any canvas or mural.
They come color printed on this pretty cardstock paper in a nice envelope. I also include a business card. They do not have an expiration date - so order anytime! I am going to be taking some time off this summer, but the certificates will always be available.

Princess Perfect

Julie LaForte ordered this darling canvas for her little girl Halle. She emailed me a photo of a piece of fabric she really liked. I used that pattern as inspiration for this princess canvas.
Julie is the same Julie that does the really pretty frames. There is a link to her site under the "If You Like Mine, You Will Love..." section. Check it out!
I love getting new ideas from just about anywhere! I am happy to match bedding, wallpaper, and even fabric. Each piece is meant to be "custom"! Thanks, Julie!

Logan's Dots

The brown and pale blue color combo may be my new favorite! It has certainly turned out to be popular with many of my customers. This one was ordered by Brooke Totherow for her nephew. Logan is due in June!
Her sister had chosen crib bedding from J.C. Penney, so I was able to look at it online. It had a very modern feel to it. I alternated the sizes of the dots, took out the frame I usually use to separate the name from the dots, and put the first letter in a dot. I love how it turned out, especially with the "L" in inside the dot. A little change can make a big difference!
This one is on the large 12x24 size canvas and is $40.00. I am working on a pink and brown and a teal and brown order right now. The metallic dots are also posted below. These just look great in any size and color combo! Keep the dots coming!!

Junior Miss Warren County

Miss Monica Patel is the newest Junior Miss Warren County. There was a Dream Custom Artwork gift certificate in her prize bag. She called me and wanted something to match her bedroom. Her room is in shades of coffee, tan, and black with metallic accents. I thought that sounded very classy and modern. Her word was "contemporary".
She chose the black background and wanted metallic polka dots. She also liked the "Party" font. She told me that she has always written her name with a lower case "m" and and upper case "a" and wanted the canvas to look like that. I love a woman who knows what she wants!
When I stopped by to drop it off, she was just hanging out after school watching T.V. I had my camera with me and she let me take her picture. Look at that picture! I cannot imagine what it must feel like to just be sitting around that pretty! I posted the photo at the bottom as well to show it in color.
She really is as beautiful as she is sweet. Congratulations, Monica...you deserve it!

Today I am 32!

Today is my 32nd birthday. That sounds so old! Every year that new number takes some adjustment. I know that it is just a number, but it does take time to get used to! I went white water rafting last summer. Yes, that is me screaming on the front row. I also went snow skiing for the first time this past January. It was so scary! I didn't post a picture of me screaming down the mountsinside!!!

I love to try new things, be adventurous, and stay open minded to new experiences. That and marrying an older man;) remind me that I will always be young at heart!!!
