The Circus is in Town

Hi friends! Hope you've all had wonderful weeks so far. My week has been busy as I've been furiously working on a million things for the show this weekend. I can't wait! This will be my first time (as a vendor) at the Handmade Spring Show. I'm even more excited that I'll get to hang out with my friend Holly while I'm there. She'll be selling her amazing homemade treats! I hope you guys will stop by. :)

I'm so behind on posting designs that I'm starting to feel a bit behind. I'm hoping I can catch up...eventually.

Anyway, here's some birthday invitations I designed for one of my sweet friends. Her precious son was turning 2 and needed some circus themed invites to tie in with the party theme.

The design was done with water color and then was outlined in ink. My favorite part...the elephant and lion. :)

Handmade Spring Show - April 16th

Please come by and see me and some other great artists on April 16th at the Handmade Spring Show in Homewood. I'd love to see you guys!

Sweet Pea's Art in the Garden Show

This weekend's show at Sweet Pea's "Art in the Garden" was a success. It was an absolutely beautiful autumn day. To top it all off, we were in the middle of all the gorgeous flowers and fall decor at Sweet Pea's Garden Shop in Homewood. My table was set up next to my sweet friend, Holly, of Holly's Homemade. Holly makes THE BEST homemade garlic pita chips and secret recipe chocolate sauce. If you want to try any of her products, email me and I can give you her information. Anyway, I don't think we could have asked for a better day.

Upcoming Shows

I know, I know. I should have some of my stuff posted by now. Unfortunately, it's terribly hard to do when you have a laptop that works at a snail's pace. Good news, the hubby and I are in talks about getting me a desktop computer so my business can run more smoothly. :)
Anyway, until then, you can catch me at Sweet Pea's "Art in the Garden" show this Saturday, October 9th in Homewood, AL. If you have a chance, please stop by and see me. I love meeting new faces.

Also, I'll have a few selections of notecards being auctioned off at IIDA's Artrageous on October 21st. Please come out and support the IIDA foundation.
