The Sisterhood

The countdown to Christmas has started for me. My family moved our celebration up to December 18/19, so I lost a week of procrastination. I am almost caught up, I am down to giftcards and wrapping paper needed. Today I am off to Hobby Lobby to pick up a few giftbags, before I go, a quick shop update.

I listed three new card styles on ETSY. This design is borrowed from one of my favorites clients. She commissioned this piece, before I completed it I took a photo and altered it for a card. The words are her sentiment. I can't say anymore, I don't want to give away any clues in case the person this was created for has not received her gift yet. I thought this was a beautiful thought for a sister or best friend. The orginal is sold, so this is only available as a card.

Monday Morning Update!

Good Monday Morning! I had a long weekend full of snow! We got our first FULL snow. The ground was covered and it is sooo cold! I had a small Christmas Art show this past Saturday, it was very enlightening to say the least. I move on. I met some great artists, bought a fabulous cat hat and beautiful cat magnets. I sold a little, I think the snow scared off shoppers, online sales were moving faster, so I am off to the post office today with my bundle of packages. I left my car packed, we are going to another show Saturday night and that will be all for this year.

Happy December!

December is finally here! I am getting ready for a Christmas art sale Saturday, have new art cards and a few stuffed glass ornaments I am working on.....so things are busy here!

I received my Christmas angels from Somerset yesterday. I listed the originals on ETSY, they will make a wonderful addition to your holiday decor! Click here to make the original your own! My favorite is "City of David" this piece has an antique Christmas feel. Here is the listing :) I ship all art priority, so there is still plenty of time to get it displayed for Christmas!

I am doing several 8x10 collage mixed media on wood panels. They all have this bold black and white stripe sides.

Just a quick post- My November card has shipped and I wanted to share with you this wonderful note from a member-


Andrea!

I received my first Card of the Month yesterday. She is precious from head to toe! What a treat to open my mailbox and see your hand-addressed envelope. And, it was even more exciting to open it.

I wanted to tell you what a lovely job you did with the presentation of the card, envelope and the club! What an ingenious idea. I’ve designed and sold cards for years, no card of the month club though…

I’m so glad to be a part of your inaugural program. It’s going to be like sending myself a little present each month when your envelope arrives.

Congrats on another issue of Somerset too!

Wishing you much continued success. I love your work and following your blog!

Best,

jeanette

Find a little FREEDOM

This week I have spent time trying to catch up on getting ready for the holidays! I have my ETSY shop filled to the brim with new art and new ideas. I have over 30 card designs and nearly 20 original paintings listed.... PLUS plenty of prints to choose from! I think I will spend the rest of the season working on my side projects. I need to finish my studio, paint some chairs and get ready for two last art shows. If you are interested in any of my original paintings and need a lay-away please feel free to ask. My email is on the right or convo me thru ETSY. I can help you out.

Next up is the card club, details are in the two post below this one- This is a fun idea to send a card to someone you love every month (including yourself) I am limiting this to 25 members. If you want to wait til closer to Christmas to start your membership, just let me know after you make your purchase. I will hold off on mailing your first card till December.

This is my latest painting entitled "Freedom"

My creative string led me to a field of flowers...almost naked...dreaming of the day I will be free from my cage. I think the cage really represents what we feel every time we look into the mirror, the cage we trap ourselves in as we constantly strive for perfection. I can write pages on this topic, but I will let you interpret this painting for yourself :)

Scout Magazine

Just a peek at the feature in Scout magazine. I was surprised to be asked to have my SouthEND girls appear in this very hip and trendy mag :) If you get a chance check it out, you can view online or purchase online.

NEW LARGE PRINTS are listed in my Etsy store! I only have a couple left from the last few art shows. These have white mats and will fill a wall perfectly. I have an 8x10 with an 11x14 mat of my "PEACE Angel". This is one of my most popular angels. She has a worn country feel and a scripture passage that was a favorite of my grandmothers. I have this print in a weathered barn wood frame, my mom has the original :) It makes a wonderfully sentimental gift to loved ones. Click here to see her

I just listed Buy It Now mat prints on Ebay, I chose 4 of my all time favorites and had these professionally printed. I mounted them in white mats, I LOVE how they turned out.

Words of Encouragement card RING

Just finished, my mini cards in a laminated version. These are three inch cards made from my prints, laminated and hung on a ring with vintage seam binding added to the ring. I have them in the scripture cards and the positive affirmation cards. These are limited edition. I will list two on ETSY later today, the rest will go to Pinkfest with me. Great stocking stuffers! who needs another lip gloss?......just kidding I always want another lip gloss :) but I would love to find some positive inspiration and thoughts with a new lip gloss in my stocking.
