new items and set sale deadline

Hello!  Yes, I'm blogging again and 3 weeks haven't even passed by!
I'm starting to get back into the swing of things and it feels really great!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
So... I finally have my little birthday cards listed for sale in the shop!


My sweet sister who lives far, far away on the east coast has been asking to buy some for so long and I am just now getting around to posting them.  So thank you, Jensina, for the motivational "push"!  I needed it!


They come in a set of 6 (3 blondes and 3 brunettes) or in singles.  And they all come with coordinating Kraft brown envelopes!  I don't know what it is about Kraft paper, but I LOVE it!  So cute!


You can find the cards for sale HERE.

I also have more paper products coming soon, but those will probably not make they're debut for another few weeks.  But they are DARLING, if I do say so myself!  I guess that's a good thing, right?  You'd better love what you sell or you probably won't be able to sell it!

And as far as the current Set Sale, it will be ending VERY soon so you'd better hurry!
It will be ending this week! 
Wednesday, Sept 1st is the last day
 and you'll have until 9pm MST
that night to make your final purchases with the sale prices!
That's the latest I can go because a gal needs her beauty rest!
So click HERE for the Set Sale!

It has been a very successful sale (excited squeal!) and we are most grateful to all of you for your wonderful support, encouragement and kind words!  Thank you, thank you!  I love being a "working artist" and that's only possible when you actually sell your artwork and are motivated to keep creating!  So thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts!

noah's room and a feature in TIME magazine

So I know in my last post I said I'd have my next post up in a week, but....  I didn't.  What a crazy month!  My brother has moved in with us temporarily, school has started so I'm watching my niece, Della, again, and... I have some wonderfully fabulous news that's making me go cookoo that I will share with you in the next few weeks!

A feature in TIME

So... first things first, I have to share some very exciting news I woke up to today.  I got a message from a fellow Etsy seller that Etsy was featured in TIME Magazine and my shop was mentioned specifically!!!  Click HERE to see for yourselves!
What happy news and I'm so flattered to be mentioned!  Especially when there are sooooooo many darling shops that fit into the Family & Kids category!  Yay for great publicity!!

A tour of Noah's room

So the other thing I was planning on showing you is a few pictures of how my artwork has been displayed.  Hopefully this will give you ideas and some courage to decorate with fun and happy artwork.
Noah's room is FULL of artwork!  I have the originals hanging all over and he loves it!  He talks and points and names and sings songs about all of the artwork in his room.  Not only is it cute and fun, but it's a real learning tool for kids.
Here are the photos (click on photos to enlarge):

Here I have displayed the construction set.
I used frames made of "reclaimed" looking wood.  Super cute!

Here is the rescue set.

I used matching black frames for these, though I have a friend who framed them in white and that looked fabulous too!

Here are six of the animals.

I LOVE how this grouping turned out!  These originals are 11x14 so they are a little bigger than my usual 8x10 size.  I used unfinished wood frames and stained them with a dark walnut color.

Here's a photo from a lovely customer who was so kind to send me pictures of how the prints she purchased look in her baby nursery.

This is my very favorite way to frame the prints!  With bright white matting and black frames, I think they really pop!
Thank you, Jennifer, for the darling photos!

The sale on sets is still going on at the shop, but not for too much longer!
Only a few more days!!
So head on over to the shop and get a head start on Christmas this year!

All prints in each set are available seperately as well.
The sale is featuring drastically reduced prices on just the print sets.  It's a great deal because you already get a price break for buying the prints in a set!

We've been working on getting this together for quite a while, so we're super excited to finally be able to offer it!
So come on over to the shop and enjoy the
End of Summer Sale on Sets!

Next week I'll be giving a tour of Noah's room where he has several of these sets so you can see how they look together framed.
