A little while ago, I made a custom banner for a sweet lady who ended up being Jaimeson Gann, the sidekick wedding planner and daughter to the talented Jacki Allen, also a wedding and events planner and president of Kentucky Bride magazine.

They used the banner in a spring tablescape photoshoot that has a luscious green foliage backdrop. They used white milk glass against a rustic dark table, and it made everything on the table totally POP.  My light colored banner against the dark greenery creates the same affect! [The table itself, by the way, is totally delicious! I must have!] Ah, there’s more details on the table – and several other tablescape ideas for the rest of the seasons, so you should just check it out. You can go online to pick up your own copy HERE. If you’re getting married soon, then this mag is a great resource and has nifty ideas in it. Heck, even if you’re NOT getting married any time soon but you do like to host nice dinner parties – then Jacki and Jaimeson can pass along some wonderful inspiration!  Be sure to check out the other talented artists, designers and businesses featured in the mag!

Speaking of my custom banners – I have a bunch of mess up my sleeve for them. I am in the middle of working on something that I hope to have finished soon and will share it with all of you. I’m pretty dern sure that you’ll love it, too! Stay tuned!

The weather is beautiful here, as it always is in the springtime. I have been busy as a bee getting caught up on laundry and am excited to be purging clutter from our home! We are also getting our garden going and it will be so awesome to get lots of yummies from it this year! I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! <3

Ah yes, I have spent much of today in bed, sick as a DAWG. However, this print makes me want to get up and do something crafty.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend~!

I told you that I was in the mood for spring! Aren’t we all, though, at this point?!? This banner was made for my friend, Bri, and I hope she loves it! If not, I’m cryin’! Oh, and keepin’ it, too. I’m pretty sure that she will take it, though. Love ya, Bri!!!

This is what I’ve made for Mandy – who was one of the winners in my Win-Win Giveaway recently. I was glad that she loved it! And it really works for Valentine’s Day, doesn’t it?

All of it is totally made by hand and totally made by moi. =-D Yeppers, I drew it all and then

This is what I’ve made for Mandy – who was one of the winners in my Win-Win Giveaway recently. I was glad that she loved it! And it really works for Valentine’s Day, doesn’t it?

All of it is totally made by hand and totally made by moi. =-D Yeppers, I drew it all and then cut it all out and added ribbons.

If you would like a custom banner, simply message me to get started~!

Is everyone ready for Valentine’s Day? It’s almost here!

- – But where else?

One of my recent fabulous customers sent in a picture of the custom banner I had made for her. Kristin, from Retro Caft Art, had asked me to make a banner for her booth at the craft show. I was happy to oblige! Okay, so the banner is really poppin’ against that black! I think it’s a nice compliment to the yummy stuff she sells. Y’all be sure and check out her jewelry and artsy supplies over on her website – - and tell her that I sent ya!

I have to tell ya – it was so exciting to see it being used! I just love making people happy and love hearing back from them after they’ve gotten their order.

So the quick moral here is that the banners I sell are not just for home decor – they can also be used as signs for your special event: weddings, shows, birthdays, bar mitzvahs, chicken chases…yeah, the sky is the limit!

For a little extra moolah, I can add on some chipboard to your banner to give it a more sturdy appearance. I totally recommend this if you: a.) want your banner to last longer and b.) will be using it outdoors at all.

Where can you get yours? Simply check out my Etsy shop and find what you’re looking for. Want something more custom? That’s easy, too! Just message me! =-D

Memories will bring you love from the past, courage in the present, hope for the future.

Yummy big bows…

Glittered hand drawn birds and fun swirlies…

ROXIE! Such a loved and pampered little girl!

This will be spectacular in her bedroom!

[...CLICK for more article goodness!---->] Glitter is for the birds. Yeah, it happened. I have used so much of this really fine glitter for the birds that I feel like I’ve been sneezing it. [And NOT on the banner - - just so you know!] But I am quite happy with how this one’s turning out and may need to make one like this for my own girl’s bedroom!

Drawing on the backgrounds…

Pulling it all together…

Can’t wait to show you the finish! Stay tuned!
