Dundee Day and My Husband, the Handyman

I was a vendor this past August at Dundee Day. It was such a fun event to be a part of and even more fun that my husband, Sam, joined me for the day. He makes these cool pallet shelves and artwork display hangers. I think he sold just as many pieces as I did!

The fastest year ever!

Once again, an entire year has gone by without me posting a single picture! It was a busy year with Annie M's. I held several more painting parties, was a vendor at a few events, including Dundee Day, and continued to take personal orders. Below are some pictures of my artwork.

With the popularity of painting parties with door hangers, I am starting to host parties "to go." That is, I can come to you! I will bring all the supplies needed and will come to your house. Cost is $40 a person. This includes the door hanger of your choice (depending on season), paint, brushes, aprons and my instruction. I prefer a minimum of 5 people. Call me at 402-670-0353 to set up your party!

 

 

 

The Saying, 'Time Flies,' is an Understatement

Well, here I am another year since my last blog post. New Year's resolution for 2015: Update my blog more!

I'll give a quick update since my last post. I am no longer teaching at Uncorked. While I enjoyed teaching the classes, the schedule was getting to be a bit much with Sam traveling during the week and I wanted more time to focus on creating my own artwork. By doing so, I had more time to work on preparing to be a part of the St. Robert's Chic Boutique, which took place in October. The Boutique proved to be successful for me and I really enjoyed being part of it! I was lucky to have the help of my sister, Stephanie, at the event. She was great at helping me set up and doing a little marketing, as well!

I've also started holding classes where people can paint their own door hangers at Clara's Closet in Elkhorn. My other sister, Kris, owns Clara's and allows me to use the space in the evenings for such classes. I love teaching these classes and hope to hold even more in 2015.

My other big news is that we welcome a sweet baby girl, Sylvia, to our family in November. Life is proving to be busy with three kids, but I already can't imagine it any other way.

Here are some pictures of 2014.
