How about a game of tic-tac-toe?

More of my hand painted magnets, but this time with a bit of a twist! Tic tac toe magnet sets! Perfect for those long summer car trips. These hand painted magnets stick to their container so they won't get lost in the back of your minivan!
I just loved painting these dragonflies and frogs in two of my favorite colors. I am going to paint a set for my boys to take along for our next dinner out.
I designed this set for those "girlie" girls who love their purses and shoes and of course had to paint them pink!!!

Starry Night Sweet Dreams Bunny - Blog Contest!

"Starry Night" Sweet Dreams Bunny 8"x10"
This little bunny is at it again! Traveling around the world and even into space as he dreams. He's been through a hillside, a field of flowers, and a starry night. Where should his dreams take him next???
Leave a comment on my blog page with your idea of where this bunny's adventures might lead him. If I use your idea for my next painting I will mail you a free print!

Fly Me to the Moon!

These are a couple of my recent paintings done in acrylic to hang in a child's room or nursery. Both of these and more can be found in my Etsy Shop. They both have a touch of silver paint for a bit of sparkle at night.
"Fly Me to the Moon" acrylic 8"x10"
"Sweet Dreams Bunny" (original design) 8"x10"
Sweet Dreams Bunny is a design I came up with when I was expecting our first child who is getting ready to turn 8 (where does the time go?). I wanted to come up with a unique nursery theme . . . came up with this little bunny who goes on all sorts of adventures in his dreams. I am going to do a series of these for my Etsy shop.

For the "Busy Bees" out there

I've created some new wipe off "To Do List Tiles". They are currently available in my Etsy Store at www.paintedforyou.etsy.com
"The Busy Bee To Do List Tile"
the perfect gift for those "busy bees" in your life who seem to running in a million directions. Here's a great way to make things run a little smoother for them. Tile comes with a hook or ribbon so it can be hung on a wall or sits nicely on a shelf, desk, or countertop in a little easel or stand. All tiles come with a dry erase marker.

And More Magnets!

As promised, here are some magnets which are a little less "girly". For the boys or girls. I had so much fun painting this outer space set. The little green alien just makes me giggle.

Both sets are currently for sale at my Etsy Shop: http://www.paintedforyou.etsy.com

More Magnets!

I am having so much fun painting these tiny little one inch magnets! Here's a couple of my latest, both with a girly theme. I have also been working on some new designs for the boys which I will try to post tomorrow.
"Purses and Shoes" set of 3 mini magnets
"Tea cups and cupcake" set of 3 mini magnets
I think these would be great party favors for a little girls birthday party.

My Latest Wipe Off To Do List Tile

Now available with
flowers!!!! This is for
you moms who need a little something girly for yourself. With two boys and husband, I have very little pink in my house, so I decided to make one of these for myself too!

Great gift idea for young girls, teens (the babysitter), teachers, and friends!

More flower colors coming soon!!! Have a favorite color or flower you'd like to see? Feel free to leave a comment and I'll do my best!

June Weddings

I have not had a lot of time to paint new product designs this week since I have been busy with several portrait commissions for my Artwork by Andrea business. However, I have had a few orders for wedding tiles and plates since it is that time of year for June weddings. Here comes the bride!

So Many Ideas, So Little Time to Paint

My mind has been racing lately with new ideas for my new shop. I am really excited about these wipe off tiles that I've been creating. I think they'll make fun gifts, and serve as a special reminder of a special event. Here's my latest - the Happy Birthday Signature Tile.




The best part is you can either use a permanent marker for the signatures OR you can use a dry erase marker. Then take a photo of the signatures or birthday message for child's photo album or scrapbook. Then wipe off tile and use for another member of the family, or use it again the following year!!!

I started thinking about all the different designs I could put on these, now if I can only find the time to paint them! Sigh, maybe after taking care of the puppy, kids, housework, errands, ...... maybe I'll find some time later today. :-)
