Savannah

Cynthia Tittsworth ordered this bright and cheery 8x24 canvas as a new baby gift. All she said was, "Purples, yellows, and butterflies." With that direction, I think I did pretty well. Actually, I absolutely love how it turned out!

The long name in this font fits so perfectly on this size canvas. I love that great big "S". I also did something a little different with the butterfly. I usually put one large one on the end, but this time I put them all around the border like polka dots. Cute!

More Verses

I did this design a little while back and it turned out to be very popular. Click here to see the original. I love this verse and am happy to do it over and over again!

You can see that this time it is in two different color schemes. Cindy wanted hers in steel blue instead of the pale aqua and green. Michaela ordered hers with black instead of the blue. They both look fabulous!

Birth Announcement

This is a brand new canvas idea brought to me by Rachel Harvey. Rachel is one of my very best customers and always has something new for me to try! I love hearing from her! This is a birth announcement canvas. The top canvas is 6x9 and has baby's name on it. The bottom canvas is 5x5 and has the date, time, weight, and length blanks for you to fill in. This will be so cute at the hospital and then in the nursery.

I think this is just so sweet! Here you can see the ribbon attaching the two. For those of you who are wondering, the canvas is sealed to protect it from water, dust, and scratches. However, you can easily write on it with a sharpie or other permanent marker.

This is Rachel second boy. She is reusing a lot of the same nursery items and colors. She wanted this one to coordinate with Weston's things but not be an exact match. Click here to see his artwork.
Thank you so much, Rachel! Congratulations!

Just The Basics

Wash, floss, scrub, and brush...just the basics! I love this set of four 5x5's for any bathroom, but especially a kids' bathroom. The colors on these are so cute, too. I have a picture of the accessories that I couldn't get to come through. Trust me, it's a dead on match!

This is an etsy order filled for Shauna all the way up in Canada. I guess it's official...Dream Custom Artwork is now international!

Summer Flowers

I guess I was in the mood for flowers! Once I got started on these, the ideas just kept coming! That's always a good thing! This 11x14 gold stripes and dots with real yearn flowers in currently available for $30. That includes personalization.

Here's a close up of those super cute flowers! Get a name, welcome, or a favorite verse or saying added. This one looks great on the front door!

I love the bright colors and all of the dots on these two. The 8x10 is already sold, but the 6x9 is still available for $20.00. The real fabric and button flowers add something special! Again, personalization in included. I am thinking that this one would be a perfect little birthday gift.

My favorite...the orange and brown flowers! Here is a close up of the brown on brown stripes. It is 4x12 and also available for immediate personalization and delivery. I think this one would make a wonderful last minute wedding gift.

If you are local, all of these are at Et Cetera if you would like to see them in person. They will be happy to take your personalization order and get in touch with me. If you are out of town, just leave a comment or email me to claim a canvas. I will send you a paypal invoice right away.

Pineapples and Polka Dots

Joy Black wanted a pineapple for her front door. She decided on a design that I did a while back but with a pumpkin. (Click here to see that one!) When she asked to have the same thing with a pineapple instead, I just wanted to smack my forehead and ask, "Why didn't I think of that?" It's so cute!

I love all of the neutrals and the large dots in the background. Here's a close up of the colors and all of the detail in the pineapple. Thank you, Joy!

Busier Than Ever

I thought that when school was out that I would get a break. You know, do nothing? I don't think that is ever going to happen! We are just a busy kind of family. It's a "good busy" though. After a crazy few days, we found some time on Memorial Day to go ziplining.
Mike and I went last year and talked about how much the kids would love it the whole time. We took them back and they did! We did the Wahoo Ziplines in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. They have a clean and safe set up and wonderful guides who really make it an experience to remember.

We were in the Smokies already due to a baseball tournament. Carter got to play some! It was so good to see him in uniform and back on the field. The boys did well and, most importantly, had fun!

On Friday, I handed out report cards and then it was all about dance! Lauren had her very first dance recital. The whole family came and made it a special night for her. She was a flamingo in the ballet of Alice in Wonderland. She also did an adorable tap routine in the second part. I am so proud of her for getting up on that stage! She loved it!

Now I am sitting here with a ton of laundry and shopping bags! After I get this all cleaned up and organized, it is back to the painting table. We don't have anymore adventured planned for a while so I should be zipping through some orders!
This is a recent etsy order. You've seen this one in browns, but it was custom ordered in white, gray, and red. I am barefoot right now and plan to stay that way for a while! Enjoy your summer!
