Cyber Monday Special...DISCOUNTS on ALL Art Prints!

Can I just say how much I LOVE the idea of Cyber Monday!!! (Unless you're one of the 100 Million People (source from USA Today) who prefers the rush that comes along with Black Friday! I, for one, am too scared to even attempt to drive to the stores let alone get out of my car that will probably be parked at least 2 miles away from the store I want to go to....seriously!)

I must also say that whoever came up with the idea of "Cyber Monday" is a GENIUS!!! Everything about it brings JOY to my face! No long lines...or grumpy people...or price-checks on that one item that is only 30 cents off (you know exactly what I'm talking about huh?!). So to celebrate, I have decided to cut the prices of ALL MY ART PRINTS! Beginning today, ALL of my 5x7 prints go from $10 to $5 a print & ALL of my 8x10 prints go from $15 to $10 a print! (These are just a few of my Art Prints...Find MANY more in my Shop at the top of this page!)

These prints make PERFECT Christmas gifts for teachers, co-workers, family, that neighbor down the street you ALWAYS forget about until they show up on your doorstep with their once a year "Christmas Visit" (you know the one I'm talking about!). All you need to do is buy a print (or 5) throw it in a super cute, half-off frame from your local craft store or one of the extra 3 frame you have laying around your house & there you have it... a gift that looks like you spent a fortune on! (ok...maybe not a "fortune" but definitely WAY more than the $10 or $15 it will cost you after everything is said & done!) 

You will want to get yours ordered NOW so that I can guarantee you will receive them before Christmas! And don't forget about my Christmas Coloring Book & INSTANT DOWNLOADABLE Coloring Pages. These are perfect to keep everyone busy while you're wrapping gifts OR for when you get frustrated from all that gift wrapping & need a little time to de-stress! You'll be thankful you did!

Christmas Art Prints are HERE!

Good Tuesday morning! Can you believe we only have 2 more days until Thanksgiving? I have to say, I feel like this past year has flown by! Which is totally ok with me because for those of you who don't know, my most favorite time of the is Christmas! I may or may not have had a Christmas Countdown calendar on my phone since July  (insert smiley face here!!!).

Because I know many of you have already started decorating for Christmas, I decided  that I would love to help you finish your decorating! I have just released 2 of my Christmas Art Prints & plan on releasing a third one tomorrow! I've had a lot of requests for some of my Art Prints to be in different colors other than what they currently are. And while I'm working to do that, I decided to go ahead & create one of today's prints in 6 different colors! These prints are sooooo fun & because they are available as a 5x7 or an 8x10, they are perfect for any room in your house or office (or... perhaps as an early Christmas gift, wink wink). 

Oh Holy Night 

Christmas Word Tree (Available in 6 colors)

I hope you enjoy these new Christmas prints & make sure you come back tomorrow to see one of my favorite Christmas songs created into a print.... You won't want to miss it!

You are Beautiful, Believe It!

Place Your Orders NOW for Thanksgiving!

Good morning everyone!!! I just wanted to let everyone know that if you're want to receive your Coloring Books &/or Art Prints before Thanksgiving day, you MUST place your orders by TOMORROW NIGHT! This will ensure that your order will be mailed & delivered to you by next Wednesday! 

If you need something to keep your little "helpers" busy while you're slaving away getting your Thanksgiving meal on the table,  my coloring books would be the perfect gift! Or...if you are traveling over the long weekend, these books would be a perfect way to entertain not just the kids, but possibly your co-pilot on that long drive or flight out of town! You could even grab a cheap frame & frame the finished work of art & give it to your hostess as a "Thank You" for saving you the stress of cooking your own Thanksgiving meal! (Nothing beats a homemade gift, right?!)

And if coloring books aren't up your ally, you could always choose a couple Art Prints & a cute, cheap frame from Hobby Lobby & you have the perfect hostess gift! Who doesn't love framed art?!?!

Stay warm & have a wonderful Thursday!!!

"Fall"ing Prices!

It's finally Friday ya'll! Can you believe we are one week away from November? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was getting back into the swing of the new school year. New friends, teachers, students, colored pencils (it's the little things, right?!)  & now that the "new" has worn off I feel like I can sit back & enjoy my new normal a little bit easier. I can throw on my favorite sweater & jeans, grab my pumpkin spice latte & pumpkin bread & breathe in Fall. I have decided that I want to experience every little detail of this new season! Whether it's the cooler temperatures, the smell of the early morning dew, or our early sunsets, something about the Fall makes me slow down & really take in everything the Lord has given me just because he can & because he loves me!  (***SIDE NOTE: The sunsets around here are AMAZING!!! I can't even begin to describe to you all the shades of orange, yellow & red I see pretty much every single night! I honestly don't think there are names for every color I see! And, since we are as flat as flat can be here in the Texas panhandle, that beauty goes on & on for what seems like eternity! It's just breathtaking!)

I wanted to let you know, as a way to celebrate this new season, I have decided to lower the prices on all of my  original, one-of-a-kind, hand-lettered Art Prints (which are NOT instant printables... they will be printed & mailed to you)! These 8x10 & 5x7 have been converted into digital prints & are perfect for you display in your home or to give as gifts. And with Christmas right around the corner, why not go ahead & get a jump start on that Christmas list you started a couple weeks ago! Order a print, buy a good looking frame from Hobby Lobby for 50% off & in no time at all you have your gifts for teachers, work parties, family, friends, & even that neighbor down the street you always wave to but can't ever remember their names.

So go ahead & mosey your way on over to my shop & grab a few prints before it's too late! And don't forget to grab one for yourself...you deserve it after all the hard work you've put into finding the perfect one for everyone else!

Enjoy your Friday!

I Feel I am Failing You...

Happy Monday everyone! I was wondering if I might be able to share my heart with you for a couple minutes? You see... I've had a lot on my heart recently & feel like if I were able to share it with you, I might be able to answer some questions.

When starting this website, my desire was to create multiple coloring pages & prints & have new items available to purchase often. I wanted to have fresh, new coloring pages each month & inspire you through my art. 

I know you haven't seen any new coloring pages or art prints in my shop since I last updated it with a few fall items 4 weeks ago, & this is where I feel I have failed you. I know many of you follow me on Instagram & see some of my "teasers" I post almost weekly with new seasonal coloring pages or prints with comments saying that they will be on my website to purchase soon. Unfortunately, "soon" hasn't happened, which frustrates me & honestly leaves me feeling like I have failed you & lied to you. Please know that it is not, & never will be, my intention to mislead you! I never want to come across as someone who doesn't keep my word or another artist who couldn't make it in the art world. 

I'm  learning that when starting a new business where you have more than one person to rely on, that it doesn't always go according to how I think it should. Things happen, life happens..... & I'm having to learn how to extend grace in the midst of frustration. I have to remind myself how many times has God given me grace when I most definitely didn't deserve it! And because my desire is to be more like Him, I must choose to renew my mind & try to walk in full, no strings attached grace! (and my goodness... that is hard to do sometimes! can I get an amen?!?!)  

I'm asking for you, if you're willing, to have a lot of grace & understanding with me & my website as this is a completely different world for me! I'm new to the whole idea of blogging & creating a successful website is something I've wanted for a very long time! I can tell you, with confidence, that I am doing all I can to get new products up as quickly as I can because the last thing I want to do is to let you down!  

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support & understanding through these beginning stages of my new adventure! Even with all the frustrations, I wouldn't trade a single minute of it! Please continue to come back because I have some new opportunities that are coming up in the next week or two that you do NOT want to miss out! I hope you have a wonderful Monday!

~ Valerie

Day 5 Giveaway...You've Got Mail!

Well.... We finally made it to Friday!!! Yea!!! I have to say I'm a little sad that this week of Giveaways is coming to an end! I've had so much fun getting to know all of you & so thankful to you for allowing me to share my heart with you!!! You will never know how much that means to me! 

Today's Giveaway is something that I've absolutely fallen in love with & wish we as a society did more of! Simply put...It's a set of 6 of my hand-lettered greeting cards! Before everyone begins to judge me, allow me to defend my case....

I love making cards and writing letters. I think I should have been born in a time before email because I don't quite understand technology and quite frankly, picking up a pen comes easier to me than trying to figure out how to attach something and forward it. Mail is fun, it's personal, & it's special! It sends a message that says "I care enough about you to take ten minutes out of my day to devote this piece to you!".

Have you ever received a piece of mail that was completely awesome? Maybe a wedding or baby shower invitation that was so beautiful. Maybe a hand-written letter or a home made card from your grandchild? The picture below is my most favorite postcard EVER! It's from my best childhood friend Hattie. Hattie and I grew up in the little town of Bushland, Texas. We did everything together growing up. When we graduated Hattie went to college and I went to Crazyville. She graduated college then went to grad school where she's gotten to travel every where (she's about to head to Paris, France...not Texas!). This postcard is from when she in Scotland. My favorite thing on this postcard was that the message part has little doodles of inside jokes and things we've done together. I keep it by my bed as a reminder to step out of the box every once in a while and live life like she does, care free and happy. I'm a very rigid schedule follower and rarely stray onto the path of the unknown, so I consider this is my reminder just to do something that scares me every now and then. 

Along with fun postcards from life-long friends, I've also received lots of things that are so cool on the inside but the envelope is lacking in the "awesome-sauce" department (insert sad face here). I'm a HUGE fan of color! I love it when I get something in the mail that I can tell the sender took so much time to put the entire thing together so  nicely. I'm a believer that the outside being pretty makes the delivery as a whole so special (kinda like the old saying "you never get a second chance to make a first impression"). I ordered a shirt once and the shop (prince ink co.) wrote my name in calligraphy on a kraft tag, tied it with bakers twine, and wrapped it in paper. Can you imagine the time & effort that went into that packaging.... & just for a t-shirt?! It was magic & I loved it almost as much as I loved my shirt!

My point is, try to take pride in the outside of your envelope. Include something fun to make the receiver want to keep not just the letter but the envelope too. I have stacks of cards, letters, and envelopes that I've received over the years and they are things I look back at when I need a little boost of love!

Making pretty mail art is easy even if you aren't awesome at hand lettering. Draw a picture or doodle by their name, write the name large and address it in multiple colors. Stamp it with a fun stamp, use stickers, or put washi tape all over that bad boy! (I'm a huge fan of washi and have way more rolls than I need...but I'm more than ok with that!) Here are a few pictures of some fun envelopes I've made!

This is what it looks like when I make mail art. Embrace messy!

How to Enter: All I need for you to do is leave a comment below telling me about what the best piece of mail you've ever received. It can be ANYTHING!!! A letter from a long-time friend you haven't talked to in a while, a birthday card from your Great-Grandma, a letter saying you just won a SUPER AWESOME GIVEAWAY (shameless huh?! haha!)! There are no wrong answers!

A winner will randomly be chosen next Monday, October 7th & announced right here on the blog, so make sure you come back to see of you are the lucky winner!

Just a friendly reminder...if you haven't had a chance to enter the other 4 days of my Giveaway, you still have time!!! All you need to do is go back & double (or triple) check that you've done everything you can possibly do to get your name entered more than once for each of the 5 days! Who knows... you could be the winner of 1, 3, or all 5 Giveaways!!! And if you don't mind... PRETTY PLEASE tell ALL your friends about our Giveaways!!! The more the merrier! Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

Ohhhhh.... one more thing! Just between you & me... I may or may not (but I'm leaning more towards definitely) be having a BONUS GIVEAWAY sometime this weekend so make sure you check back on Saturday or Sunday! Let me just say that if I were to have a "BONUS GIVEAWAY" it might (or might not) be something to help get you ready for the FALL!!! OK... no more clues! I hope to see you & all your friends this weekend!!!

Today's Giveaway: A Paint Baby!

Good news!!! We have almost made it to Friday!!! YEA!!! I am SOOOO SUPER EXCITED about today's Giveaway!!! Since I have a few canvas' laying around my house, I thought it would be fun to give away a "Paint Baby"....

What is a Paint baby you ask? Well let me tell you....

I like to to refer to collaborations as paint babies. I make a background, you tell me your words you want on it, I plan those out and then paint them on.....it's a paint baby! (It takes two people to do it!)

I am currently getting to make about 15 of these a month as well as extra canvas' on the side. I love painting and I love collaborating and I LOVE showing my clients what our finished product looks like. I make my living off of your requests and I'm so thankful that God gave me a talent that I can share, enjoy, and sell!

I just recently finished my most favorite Paint Baby I've done to date! I got to do two different paintings for a little tiny baby girl named Rachel. Her mom, Natalie, told me a little about Rachel and said that she wanted me to create something that she will see for the rest of her life and that she will grow up believing and reading. I delivered the paintings to the family and many tears were shed. They were so happy! That made me happy and they had such kind words to say about the paintings. They also prayed for me before I left and I just thought that was so special. Below are some of the pictures of these pieces in progress and finished.

As you can see I love putting tiny details into big paintings so that every time you look you see something you didn't see before. Details make everything better if you ask me!
