Sharing the Love

Lianna Knight ordered a "love" canvas in pink, red, and black stripes. I think it turned out so pretty!

At a 6x9 size, it is perfect for all of those little nooks, the front door, or even in a wreath.

I was thrilled to go to the mailbox today and find all of Lauren's Valentine's Day stuff. Yes, she was pretty excited, too! I got the matching class set of cards, stickers and even a shirt all printed here. Wendy is my go-to girl for anything custom printed. You will not be disappointed!

Mary Claire

Megan Clarke in Murfreesboro ordered this large 18x24 to give to a friend as a shower gift. She told me that the nursery will be done in quilts and shabby chic. She said colors were light blue, pink, sage green, and yellow. That's a lot for one canvas!

Luckily, I has a lot of space to work with. I sat down and sketched on this one for a while. This is the design that turned out. I absolutely love it. The roses, the font, the stripes, the distressing - I love it all! I hope sweet little Mary Claire (love the name, too!) and her mother enjoy it!

Show Us Your Life - What You Make Or Sell

I just love the Kelly's Korner Show Us Your Life series. I always find the neatest things and love looking through all of the blogs. I try to participate whenever I can. I was excited to see this these on the schedule - it's perfect for me!


I've always painted...always. In my second grade journal we had to write about what we wanted to be when we grew up. That is the first time "artist" popped up as a dream for me and it never changed. I graduated from college with a degree in Graphic Design. It was long path but I ended up in education. I love using art in the classroom as much as possible and get to incorporate lots of creativity every single day.

When I'm not teaching, I'm running Dream Custom Artwork - these photos are really my well used supplies in my home studio. I was painting for myself and had tons of ideas. I needed an outlet. I set up a blog and took a few orders from friends...and here we are five years later! I love painting for other people and creating things that they will enjoy.

You can see lots more details about me, what I do, and how to order in the sidebar. I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Super Cute Bathrooms

There's been a lot of bathroom art ordered lately. This design is so cute and I'm very happy that they are so popular. This one has been tweaked just a little to fit in with the bathroom. This is going to a girlie girl bathroom with a pink chandelier!
I changed up the font to a pretty cursive and used some metallic silver. The inside box is much smaller than usual and the large font is over it rather than in it. I think this set turned out so pretty!

This bathroom had lots of bright, cheery colors and was just so easy to do. You can't go wrong with this palette! The focus was meant to be on the pale aqua for the canvas and hot pink and lime for the ribbon. Too cute!

Cleaning Out The Closets

It's that time of the year for me...the big clean out. It looks like we may have sold our house and purchased a new one. There's still some signing to do to make it all official. After waiting a year and a half, we are beyond excited!!
I'm tearing into the attic, garage, closets, and every drawer and cabinet in the house. I have a feeling that this is just the first batch of online yard sale items you'll see from me! Here are the photos, but click here to see sizes and prices. Thanks so much for looking and have a great Sunday!

Neutral Love

Neutrals and earth tones are just my favorite. A little touch of color here and there is all you need in my opinion. It seems that a lot of people agree with me! I've been using bottles and bottles of cream, khaki, and chocolate brown paint lately. Ha!
I love this pretty monogram with only a hint a pale aqua in the ribbon. 8x10 - $25.

A distressed family canvas in all taupes, cream, and brown - so pretty! The burlap ribbon goes so well with this one. 8x10 - $25.

So true! Here you see the earth tones with black. This is a favorite color combination and is so classic. 5x5 - $15.

These are so cute for those of you who prefer bare feet in your house! The khaki, cream, and brown look so good layered over each other. 6x9 - $20 or 8x10 - $25.

Finally, a little sage green with the cream and brown. So pretty and peaceful! I love this as a wedding or anniversary gift. 8x10 - $25.

Stationery Card
