Lee Party






















Just finished some pieces from the Lee party. This was another great group of people. Two sisters hosted the party and they remind me so much of my sister and I. You could tell they have a really close family.






The party went very smoothly and clients came with some really great ideas. Even some dads came with ideas. I loved it. It was also great to see some repeat clients. I even had someone come with a list.....yes, Laura....I am talking about you:) Anyway, would love to work with this group again. I felt relaxed and time flew by. So far I have had no problems with finished pieces and all have turned out beautifully. Here are some pix from the first batches.

Wedding Platter


My sister-in-law just got married....on the beach! I got to paint a really cute platter for their wedding. This is also a signature platter; people were allowed to sign it. There is a small art fee I charge for these platter because they take some time to paint, but they are soooo worth it. Congrats Bre and Matt!! We love you guys:)

Birthday Platters


I love, love, love birthday parties and I so enjoy making specialty party platters. All of my friends know how much I enjoy birthdays and love making them into such a big deal. Every year I make a themed platter for my own children and love to do them for other people. I love getting the phone call from a parent who wants to capture their child's tiny print for their birthday. I just recently finished this platter for my very good friend, Jill. Her little boy, William, just turned 3. Guess what kind of party he had???? He is absolutely precious and so is his mother. Happy 3rd birthday...Willum (as Ella Catherine calls him)

Month of May







I love the month of May. I always have several orders for mom's day, baby showers, graduation, and teacher gifts. I am sharing some of the specialty platters that I just finished. I hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day and look forward to seeing most of you in the Fall!!
