Finally! getting some new Canvas frames finished

I feel like I have been moving in slow motion lately, Things I used to finish in no time are taking me forever!

Here are four new frames that I will be listing in my ETSY shop today. I have to say that my favorite is the adoption quote. I have a lot of new quotes that "I plan" to go on frames today

Divas are not mad, they are born

I never thought I could fall in love again until you were born

I didn't come out of my mother, I don't have my fathers green eyes. No one in my family looks like me, people are always surprised. I think we're a happier family than if we were kings and queens. We're so lucky we all found each other that's what being adoptd means.

Cross your heart hope to die, clothes and make-up boys and lies forever there till' the end. The definition of best friends.

Custom Order Canvas Picture Frame

I have been Receiving a lot of custom orders lately, and I LOVE doing them. Here is a picture of two fathers (grandfathers) day frames I created. It was a busy night,but all of my orders are ready and waiting for the mail man to come.

If you are looking for a special gift I can create custom Picture frames for you. Just contact me with the specifications.

Computer issues and other DRAMA

SO, I always thought my computer and I had a LOVE/LOVE relationship,but little did I know that my computer was harboring ill feelings towards me!

Two days ago My Internet was not working , I decided to restart my computer .......little did I know it had no plans of coming back on, over and over I tried,but it would not boot up, I got the dreaded back screen. MY HEART STOPPED!!!!! All of the pictures of my baby,my business pictures,my documents!!!!! I went to breakfast with a friend that morning,but all I could think about was my second child (LOL).

I called Best Buy, it was going to cost me $69.00 just to diagnose the problem. I called Gateway, it was going to cost me $79.00 for 30 minutes over the phone,$129.00 for 90 minutes, Needless to say the answer to that was NO!!

I got on my other lap top(yes, I have another one,but it has nothing on it). I had to set up my air card for Internet, checked my Pay pal (had to confirm account on this computer) checked my bank account(had to confirm account)......... you get the picture, it was work to get anything done.
I searched the net to try to fix my computer myself, NOTHING WORKED. Finally I just broke down in tears, and when I pressed the button IT WORKED!!!!
The minute I got on I started saving pictures and files (5pm yesterday) and I am STILL saving files.
I know my friend Denise is laughing right now, She was always telling me to get all of the pictures of my computer. There are literally thousands, I never throw anything away,until now.
You would think I would have learned a lesson,considering this is not my fist computer crash.
well I am off to save more files.

BTW- I have invested in a backup service :)

My arms are Jello

It was a long night last night completing this Fathers Day special order. All of my canvas picture frames and signs are hand lettered using a paint brush (no stencils involved here:)

My arms were jello after having to steady for so long,but I love the way it came out!

Canvas Sonogram picture frames....with a twist

Yesterday morning I was working to get some special orders finished before the mail man came, I took a second to take a picture so I could show you what I was working on, and the great Ideas my customers have.

This is was an order for two sonogram picture frames,but instead of my usual "love at first sight" saying, she wanted one to say "can't wait to be in Nana's arms" and the other to say "Honey's first grand baby"

I hope they love them!

Remember,that I can make picture frames that say anything you want on them, the possibilities are endless,so get creative!

School's out for SUMMER

Today was such an exciting emotional day!My baby graduated from pre- school, I couldn't help,but think that sooner than I want it to be she will be graduating form High school. Here are a few pictures of the event. She did sooooo good singing her songs with her class. I asked her if she was nervous, she said "no mommy, I'm brave".

Most of the kids in her class will be going to kindergarten this year.I am sooo bummed that her Birthday is in December,she she has to wait a WHOLE year. I have been on the hunt for a new pre-school.

Just a little something mamma whipped up

So ...... tomorrow is Sabrina's pre-school graduation, all of the moms at Sabrina's school decided they wanted the girls to wear blue dresses for graduation...um.....yeah finding a blue dress proved to be a not so easy task, so as I was getting ready to drive across town to another store... LIGHT BULB!! I can Sew!!

I went home and whipped up this little number, I wanted it to be a simple summer dress (it's preschool graduation not prom :) All of this came from my stash excepth the ribbon around the middle, I did not have one wide enough. I don't even know if this is the right blue,but heck it's blue.

Believe it or not this is only the second dress I have ever sewn for her..bad crafty mom.
