Beach Retreat

Priscilla Wanamaker wanted a family canvas for her beach retreat in Florida. This is the first one I've done in different colors from the usual black and khaki. You know me, I am always excited to try something new! I have to admit that I was a little intimidated because I have always thought of Priscilla as a lady of impeccable taste. She always looks so beautiful and put together!
This one has a Tuscany red background with the family name in hunter green. It is also outlined in black "squiggly" lines. The beach retreat lettering is in khaki. This one had a lot of steps and several coats of paint, but it was worth it. I used a coordinating striped ribbon and sheer hunter green ribbon.

Now, when is my beach retreat?? Just kidding, Priscilla! Enjoy the new place and congratulations!

Do They Rebel At Four?

Lauren is about to turn four and I am afraid that she has hit her rebellious stage. She has always been curious, inquisitive, fearless, and a bit of a diva. Lately, she has developed a sassy attitude and an increased interest in the alphabet. I am guessing that is why she has taken up graffiti. I keep finding little words written in hidden places. My favorite one is the recent discovery of "pig" on the bathroom shelf.
Her next act of rebellion was giving herself a radical new haircut. She had a free minute from sweeping at Brooke and Gary's and decided to chop off her pretty blond hair...only on one side of course. If she is trying to give her mother a heart attack, she is on the right track!

What's next? Tattoos? Piercings? Or is she saving that for kindergarten?

Bunnies Are Here!

I have round, oval, square, and rectangle big and small bunnies available for Easter. The bunnies can be done in any color or size with ribbons or beads. I can also do any little saying, quote, monogram, or name. Please see the price chart on the sidebar for pricing. The round and oval ones are $20 each.
*Please remember that if you order during the month of January, your bunnies and all other orders are $5.00 off. The square and oval bunnies pictured are already taken. The round one is available for immediate delivery. Thanks!

New Monogram Styles

These two monograms are a little different from what I have done in the past and turned out so pretty. I love trying new things! The fancy H has a lime green accent color instead of the usual cream or chocolate. The green ribbon has just enough iridesence to be an unexpected touch. The P below is in hunter green with chocolate accents. I found this sheer hunter green ribbon that matched perfectly. These monograms are just perfect for any time of the year!

Surprise!

I love surprises and flattery will get you everywhere with me! I am surprising all of the lovely ladies who left kind comments about my new blog design with treat bags. Each blue themed treat bags contains a pack of beautiful note cards, some coordinating stickers, and a blue toile clip for all of those important papers. So...Ashley, Paula M, Makayla, Stephanie, So Bella Creations, Tabetha, Paula W, Annie, Mandy, and Holly just let me know where to deliver them and they are all yours. Thank you is all I can say!

Weekend Images

Big and little...she wants to be just like me. We do this all the time, but for some reason this time seeing the big and little versions of the mop and the vacuum made me stop and think about the example I am setting for her. She is always watching me...and taking notes.

D was all tuckered out after watching me fold clothes. Aaahhh, to be a cat.

I had some sweet tea (with Splenda, of course!) looked at all of the new spring catalogs that are rolling in, and studied my Bible lesson. I am teaching the ladies' class next week and want to be prepared. I also picked up these tulips on clearance and am loving them on my kitchen table.

Hope you are having a good Saturday, too!

Ahhhh, Young Love

Katie Wanamaker ordered this special jersey canvas for her boyfriend, Slayden Rogers, for Christmas. What a sweet, thoughtful gift. Hopefully, this will become a keepsake for Slayden to remember his time as a Pioneer. Thank you, Katie and Dawn!

Keep your sweetie in mind for Valentine's Day. Order now!
