Personalized Ornaments and doodles




Here are some personalized ornaments I am working on for a wedding in December! What a cute gift idea...way to go Krista!
Also, I am getting ready for Holiday House in Little Rock and I'm working on some fun new things for that...the more glitter, the better!

Invitations and Doodles



I love making baby shower and wedding invitations. It is so fun, and my friends at Crossman Printing make them so professional. So, today I doodled on my stairwell, worked on some signs, canvases, and made these invitations. I love to doodle!

Pet Portraits



I just painted this portrait of our family dog...Lagniappe (French for "a little extra). Pet portraits start at $200. I also put a picture of our playroom, just for fun.

Wicked, the Musical...my inspiration!


I have fallen in love with the soundtrack to Wicked the Musical...so if anyone would like to fly me to London to see it, I would be more than willing to go :) So, I thought with a little glitter...the Wizard of Oz could have a special place in any home.

CASA festival of chairs


This is my next 501 article...so don't tell, but I got this chair for free off the side of the road. With a little sand paper action and some paint...it is cute and can be! Everything looks better with a shoe on it!

"Kate's" Nursery


This was a recent nursery I did. The mommy wanted clean lines and no pink, I thought it was a fun and refreshing idea for a baby girl's room.

What happens in the playroom, stays in the playroom.



Here is some fun doodles on the wall I did in our playroom. The large "jetson-like" TV is for our projector screen...and if anyone wondered what this room was for, I put "PLAY" on the wall, just in case. Another favorite saying that graces these walls (not shown) is "What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it is all about?"

Kitchen table with a twist!


This is my kitchen table and chairs that I found initially at Heavenly Things Flea Market. This endevor began when I was in Hancock fabrics, just browsing...and there I saw this funky fabric I just had to have. I purchased the flower print not knowing what I would do with it...when I saw these chairs, I knew! As soon as I bought the chairs, I brought them home and recovered them...I was so excited, I decided I had to go back and buy the table. When I brought the table home, I first primed the top and then matched the fabric colors of creme, chocolate, and RAZORBACK RED. With those colors I painted a verse from John 15 and vines with red roses to match. I love eating breakfast here and sitting my tush on such delightful fabric.

Chest made into a bench


This bench was given to me by my uncle and it was FULL of golf tees! This came in handy when I was playing golf in college, but after the golfing days are over...I needed a bench for my dining room table, which is a door (but that's another story). I painted the chest simply with primer and then added the verse and zebra stripes... anything is better with a little added zebra print, don't you think?

Draw a Chandelier!


So, I didn't have room for a huge chandelier in my home, so I just decided to paint one on the wall. I actually got this idea while visiting my brother in Rome. There were these huge decals you could buy for your home, but they were around 90 Euros, which is about $160! Yikes...I thought that $2 of paint and brushes sounded better!
