Pink and Green Dots

Pink and green are all the rage right now! I love that color combination and am so glad that it is popular. It may have overtaken light blue and chocolate brown...maybe! This pink and green had the black gingham added in for a fresh spin!
Another fabulous new customer, Ashley Williams, ordered these two canvases as a gift. I can't remember which way it goes, but one is going to be a new big sister and the other is a baby girl on the way!
Either way, the sister canvases are a great idea. You get a really cool gift for baby, but big sister (or brother) still feels included!

All Sports Included

One wonderful customer, Daphne Campbell, ordered these two sports canvases for her boys' room. Isaiah is her toddler, but Luke Allen wasn't even born when I painted his! I had some technical difficulty with these photos, so that is a time gap between the time they were done and the time they are being posted. I did a girlie pink soccer ball that I am still having photo problems with!
I like them because they compliment each other so well. They can easily be hung together or apart. They also have so many sports in them! Daphne requested golf, hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, football, and volleyball. As you can see, I wasn't able to squeeze in a volleyball!
These are 14x14 and cost $30.00 each. I am currently hunting for this size canvas. All of a sudden the 14x14's are hard to find! I do have 10x10's available for $20.00. If you would like one (or two or three:) for Christmas, order now!

Zoo-Rific!

Here are some shots of us enjoying a family trip to the Nashville Zoo. Carter and I are on fall break, so Mike and Lauren took the day off to go with us! Even though it was unusually hot, we had a wonderful day.




















Carter's favorite was the Meer Cat tunnel! Lauren preferred the padded play area.

Lots of Fall Dots!

Everybody loves the dots! I do, too! These two ladies ordered fall dots. They both requested two different background colors. I used the same colors in both paintings, but I love how differently they turned out.
The green background is for a new customer, Donna Gross. I like the green, but I love the bright orange dots and the matching ribbon. It really shows up with the dark background.
The orange background is for Holly Hodges. I think the wide plaid ribbon really picked up the color in hers. he last name isn't on thine one, but I like the "Warm Fall Welcome" saying!

What a Great Day!

I had a wonderful day in downtown McMinnville yesterday. It was as hot as all get out, but we made the best of it with Capalano's smoothies!



I met so many new people and got to see some old friends! Thanks to everyone who stopped by. I heard so many nice comments...it just melts my heart!







My little businessman, Carter, sold sports themed treat bags. He sold out! His plan for his profit is to expand his college football helmet collection.




My "Dream Custom Artwork" crayon sign was a big hit! The snowmen are always a favorite, but Tammy's snowman family was the favorite. I am happy to say that my new beaded handles went over well!







Celebrate everything..especially beautiful days. Thanks you everyone who helped me out! My team (Carter, Mike, and Lauren), my hired hands (Davy and Emily), Mac, Stephanie, Paula, Ashley, the ASF staff, Capalano's free sample guy, and my booth neighbor Angie.

And the Winner Is...

Congratulations Miss Kirby! Send me an email and let me know where to deliver your chocolate paisley "Welcome" canvas. Thank you to everyone who stopped by yesterday. I had the best time seeing you all!

A Perfect Pumpkin

I am back from Chicago (pictures coming soon!) and busier than ever! I am filling and delivering orders, but also getting ready for the Street Fair. I can't believe it is this Saturday!
I am loving the fall weather and especially fall break. It is nice to be home with the kids. Nothing gets you ready for all like pumpkins! A wonderful new customer, Farrah Griffith, ordered this pumpkin as a gift for a friend.
I like the realistic pumpkin and the clean, simple canvas. The pattern is in the ribbon! I was going the put dots or stripes in the background, but I really liked it just how it was. I guess sometimes less really is more!
