A collage inspired by Emily Dickinson

Teacher gift!

A gift for my daughter's third grade teacher.  I added some yellow dots to this but I guess I forgot to take a picture before I sent it off.

Happy Summer!

A tribute to all of you strong ladies out there

This canvas is simple and comforting.  The end.

5th grade graduation gift!

My daughter just graduated from 5th grade and got "promoted" to middle school.  I cannot believe this year is over and my baby is no longer in elementary school.  I made this 12x12 canvas as a thank you for her 5th grade teacher.  I have been trying to branch out and not use my favorite paint colors for ALL of my canvases.  Turns out she loves these colors so it worked out great!

Do the best you can...

This is one of my all-time favorite quotes.  I have been meaning to pull a canvas together to use this quote for some time.  A few weeks ago, Maya Angelou passed away and I knew I should get it done sooner than later.  This is a small canvas and I tried something new.  Pretty happy with the way it turned out!

Blooming with thanks!

My toddler goes to a wonderful Montessori school and the office staff is awesome.  I wanted to give the principal and the office manager a canvas to thank them for a great school year.   This is an 8x8 canvas and is a lot more colorful in person.

This is a canvas sponsored by the letter "F"

My FABULOUS FRIEND turned FORTY.  So, I made this for her and now this canvas is my all-time FAVORITE!

I could have added more to this and I still might...I feel like some yellow or blue raised circles might look nice on the bottom left to balance out the pink ones on the right. I added the blue dots and I love how it made everything POP.

I was excited I found some sheet music that said "forty years" for her face.  Also. I cut out the definition of "forty" from an old dictionary so it's one of the buntings at the top.  I love this so much.  I need to learn how to do hair, it's so hard to do when people have highlights!

I hope you enjoy!
