Self-acceptance frees you from being a beautiful flower stuck amongst the weeds

Wow, this quote is so amazingly powerful and it is one you can really stop and think a lot about. I have so many favorite quotes that it's so tough to decide which ones to use each time I create a new canvas.  I tried a different font, and it's honestly not my favorite for this canvas but I love how the flowers turned out.

Summer Swim Team!

My two girls' summer swim team season just wrapped up and I wanted to create a fun canvas for their head swim team coach.  We have a community pool in our neighborhood so the head coach is also a neighbor. She is so amazing and spoken words wouldn't have been able to express my gratitude for all she has done.  I was really excited once I put the finishing touches on this canvas and couldn't wait to give it to her.  Our team name is the "Monarchs" which is why I made sure to include some butterflies.  My girls and I gave it to her after the awards banquet and she seemed to really like it.

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.
