Getting Ready For Easter!


Hard to believe, but spring and Easter are just around the corner! It really be here before we know it. I just took these two super cute egg shaped canvases to Et Cetera. Both are already lettered, but I will be happy to add personalization at no extra cost.


I love the pastels! There is a tone on tone pattern in each of the stripes as well. These are about 11x14, but obviously oval. I think one would be perfect for your front door, either on it's own or in a wreath.

Fresh Weather...Fresh Door


I got a new welcome mat for front porch. You know what that means...new canvas for the door!


I have one 12x12 canvas that I just keep painting over. There is no telling how many coats of paint are on this thing. I would never do that for you guys, but this one is just for me!


I thought the diamonds were pretty cute! They needed a little something so I added the tiny taupe dots. Perfect!


I've been sprucing things up a bit and enjoying the weather. Someone else is loving the sun, too!

Family Rules In Red


LeAnn Hillis was another lucky giveaway winner! She chose the "Family Rules" canvas in red. Actually, she tells me that her kitchen is done in Coca-Cola...how cute!


Of course, I used red to match her theme, but I also worked in plenty of black, white, and shades of brown.


This is an 8x24 and can be custom ordered in your color scheme for $30.00.


I also made up one more while I was at it! This is a little different size (10x20) and also costs $30.00. It is currently available at Et Cetera.

Romance Is In The Air


Jamye Jaco ordered this 8x24 canvas for her home. I love the black and white with the red. The little touch of color is so pretty! I've been getting ready for Valentine's Day here at our house so I am loving that wide red satin ribbon, too.



Lauren's Valentines came in the mail this week from Miss Wendy at My Duck Duck Goose. She has the cutest personalized things...I can't get enough! She even made the fairy with blond hair and green eyes to match Lauren! Carter just wanted "Phinneas and Ferb". He doesn't let me do this cutesy stuff for him anymore.

Blog Makeover


The blog fairy (a.k.a Jennisa) came last night and gave me this fab new look! I get a "blog makeover" once a year. I look at the blog so much and just need a change of pace from time to time.


I wanted something a little vintage-y and scrapbook-y (if those are words!). Even though this is a business, I still think of it as a scrapbook and love to look back through it. I also wanted a new color. I've never used red as a major color on the blog. I did want to keep the touch of aqua that I love!


Jennisa just read my mind and was so easy to work with! She even fixed me up with these four rotating headers. Every time you visit, you get to see new pictures. You can hit refresh to get the idea! I did! Jennisa's button is over on the sidebar if you'd like to see more of her work.


Thank you so much for stopping by today. I'd love for you all to let me know what you think of the new look!

Family Rules


I've been working on a new color combination for the "family rules" canvas design. Click here to see the original green. I've also reworked the design to fit two new sizes. The above pictures a 10x20 ($30) and a 4x12 ($25). Both of these are so cute and currently available at Et Cetera.


This one is on the original 8x24 size. It was especially painted for one of my giveaway winners, Ashley Newport. I love the colors she requested. It is so bright and cheery!


Here's a close up. I love this design because it incorporates scripture, but also because of all the little details. The lettering, stars, hearts, flowers, and highlights all work together so well.

I'm currently working on a red color combination...check back soon!

It's Not Easy Being Green


Today I've got two really pretty 4x12 canvases to show you. Both are one of my all time favorite colors - green - and both were ordered by mothers for their daughters. One daughter has a beach themed room in sage, khaki, and peach. The other daughter writes poetry and music. I think both of these will fit to a tee!



I've also got two (yes, two!) sick kids. You all know that Lauren just recovered from N1H1. We sent her back to school last week and apparently she has caught the other strain of the flu (type B). She also brought it home and shared it with her brother. My sweet, sweet husband took them both to walk-ins yesterday and I am home with them today.
Thank you all so much for praying for and asking about Lauren. Please continue to pray for us all!
