Buy me some Cracker Jacks...


How adorable is it to tie each tile into place with leather cording just like on a real catchers mitt?  Your sports enthusiast will love this as they live a dream and capture the real life moments sitting at a real ball game....with you.  Play Ball!

Amours!

Keepsakes


A family keepsake box is perfect for small trinkets, tokens or treasures. Collect what matters most and display your family name proudly. Psst...It also looks great with greenery tucked inside sitting in the corner on your kitchen granite top! You can't go wrong with a display box!

5 and so Divine!

This was custom made for a very deserving 5 year old princess who is the apple of her daddy's eye, total daddy's girl through and through. Her daddy told me he can't wait to hang it on her bedroom door.

Details: 18" x 4" laminated wood.  Grosgrain and sheer polyester ribbon, acrylic gems.

Enough Said

I hope your Thanksgiving this year is a festive one with family and friends! Each year we love to gather and make memories around the holidays and I think the environment speaks volumes to get you into that holiday spirit. Why not make your holidays stand out with a plaque that will remind your guests of why your are gathered together?

Small Request

When you have a designated Guest Room in your home, you always want your temporary roommates to feel at home, but not so much that your furniture gets scratched up, walls dented, stains on the duvet etc... After all, you aren't a hotel room, but a homey place for your loved ones to lay their head and you'd like to make sure they respect your things right? We just purchased new furniture for our guest room and to keep it looking nice for everyone who wishes to come stay with us, I designed a small request, if you will. Don't get me wrong, I love my guests, but I'm not made of money and would like to think my guests would respect my property as much as I would respect theirs.

It's a boy!

I am so fond of baby boys, I think they are so hilarious and they only get more fun as they age.



This baby boy piece was made for a friend, I love how it turned out, especially the elephant! This will look so adorable hanging from a shelf w/hangars and photos of your sleeping baby in black & white or sepia tone hanging on either side.

Forever and ever and ever.....

Ahhh, where it all began....my E.P. peeps will recognize this one. This was my first vinyl experience and I've been hooked ever since! I thought it turned out pretty good seeing as I was scared to death about laying the vinyl down crooked and sanding the edges too much but I know I wasn't the only one feeling that way that night! Thanks ladies for an awesome evening!!

Candle Art

One of the cheapest and elegant ways to decorate your space is with candles. To make your accessories stand out, why not add an accessory to your accessory? Layering a simple ribbon and jewelry charm adds depth and personality to an otherwise boring ol' candle.

Dunny, Privy, Water Closet....

We call it,

You know when you try to tell your guests where "the Loo" is? Inevitably they look left and right until they find it. Why not end all confusion and mark the place with a tasteful piece of art? This is hanging on my guest bathroom door right off my kitchen, it looks better than the pictures (the small dark hallway isn't the best picture studio) portray it and I LOVE IT!

Halloween Fun

As a kid, I never got an official Halloween-store costume, I had to get creative and make my own. I do think the year I was Cruella deVille was my best work of art to this day. I believe when you are forced to be creative, you learn the most about what your abilities truly are. I love Halloween, always have, maybe because my birthday falls in October and my mom always did cool themed birthday parties for me. I made this adorable plaque to commemorate my birthday month and loved how the spider turned out, he's awesome! (this was also a giveaway a few weeks back so watch for the next giveaway....)

Shhh....

Who doesn't wish their child Sweet Dreams each night? Chocolate and pink sorbet are still a gorgeous colour combination but can't you just picture this in a blissful blue combo for your baby boy too?

Hush...

Anyone who has babies knows all too well that it is not fun when the baby gets woken up. This sweet piece came from inspiration from a darling little store here in TX while out for the evening with my friend Brittany from MN. The store's version was a small 3x5" plaque w/a lousy gingham ribbon, no bells and whistles and they wanted $20! No way! Who wants to pay that?? I re-created it into this...



Now, will one of you please have a boy so I can further create this into a boy version??

WELCOME EVERYONE!!

As baby R has been healing and G is getting into his routine and not fighting me so much I'm anxious to start creating more. I gather ideas from others as well as from my own head. This blog is my own setup of what things I can create, the possibilities are endless!!! Some may not turn out as well as in my head and mistakes are bound to happen but no one is perfect right? I hope you enjoy what I create and if you ever see anything you like, let me know, I'd be happy to make something for you (not for free silly, but a fair price we agree on, accessories aren't cheap)!! My giveaways will also now take place on this new site so I hope you stop by often!

Amours!

{What's in a name}

Chocolate letters on a winter white background, scrumptious sophistication!

Accessories are my fave! Nothing over the top, just enough to make a statement.

Throw a pop of color on this board and eyes will be drawn to it, don't you agree??


Pretty in pink and a style that will not be outgrown in a year or two!

Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon, everywhere!

Details: 18" x 4" laminated wood.
