FRIDAY FEATURES - spring garden

Spring is all about new loves and budding romances. And how can it not with the snow melting and the ground beginning to form new life, giving us new hope and energy. Filling us with new smells and lighting us up from the inside out. Awaking our souls and reminding us that God is still there and waiting for us to find him in everything around us. {If you can't tell, I love spring}. So to kick off my new beginning {another thing spring is know for} here on my blog and my
So I will be finally re-opening my Etsy shop , I want to start featuring other artists that I have begun to love. These artist have amazing shops so make sure to look around at everything they have to offer.

New Year, New Location

For those of you who do not know yet, my family and I have moved from the great state of Texas back to Illinois where we grew up. We are very excited about this move. I am hoping that those of you who have been around since the beginning will choose to stick around while we make this transition.

My Etsy shop will be closed until February while we get situated up here, but I will still be answering emails and taking custom orders. When the shop reopens I hope to share some new art that I have been working on.

I hope you all have had a great start to the new year and I look forward to seeing your comments.

Where did the time go?

This is the time of year people start asking where did the year go? And then they realize Christmas will be here before you know it...

So this year get a jump start on your shopping and Christmas cards, so you aren't frantically looking for your presents at the last minute. I have already listed some of my best sellers from last year in my shop, so take a peek...

Just a Block Away

Do you have that one place in your house or office that is too small to decorate, but looks like it needs something there? I always seem to have those spots. So I came up with a solution for them.

Introducing BLOX ART - mix and match squares that you can hang in any configuration you want. Each piece is a unique one of kind art piece that you can mix and match with other BLOX or other pieces already in your own collection! They will range from $5-$20. Some will be painted, some will be mixed media and even some pen and ink. The BLOX are made from scrap 1x4 cut into squares.

Here are just a few of my new ones that I will be listing in my shop after this weekend.
