Halloween!

Pumpkin To Do List Tile
(use with dry erase marker)
It is hard to believe it will soon be time for the kids to go back to school, fall will be here, and it will be time to decorate for Halloween!
I'm beginning to list some Halloween and fall themed items in my Etsy store. I am also getting ready for the Centerville Pumpkin Festival that will be here in Richmond. Even more exciting - Etsy will be sponsoring the Festival!
Hand painted Magnets available in my Etsy shop.

the juggling act

hmm - how to do it all: the kids home for the summer, training a new puppy, trying to keep the house and laundry under control, listing items on etsy, filling orders, and of course - finding time to create and make the product. let's not forget time to blog as well. If only there were another 4 or 5 hours to each day, sigh. :-)


I did have time a few days ago to come up with a new birthday plate design. It also comes in pinks or blue. But I thought the circus colors were appropriate to list here - since life is a bit of a 3ring circus these days, lol!

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.
"Dragonfly To Do List Tile"

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
