Christmas T-Shirt

For year's the owner of the Pea Patch has designed adult Christmas shirts. I decided last year that I would love to design a kid's shirt. I finally got them done thanks to the T-Shirt Barn. I have them on sale at the Pea Patch in my booth and will be listing them on etsy soon. I have youth sizes in small, medium, and large.

Christmas Pictures

I tried to take some Christmas pics yesterday before this week's big surgery; it didn't work out. I am sure you can see by the little smirk who was choosing to not cooperate. My new philosophy on raising Molly is to tell her the opposite of what I really want her to do, then maybe I will get what I was going for. She has to be one of the most stubborn children alive. Well, not really, she is very sweet and mostly keeps a smile on her face!

Follower Goal

If I reach 25 followers by the end of November for the giveaway, I will add a "Milk for Santa" mug to the plate. Tell your friends to become followers. I have people comment on the blog all the time that aren't followers, so now is a good time to sign up!

Cookies for Santa

Cedartown and open house were great. I had a lot of fun. Since I don't work in Winn anymore, it was nice seeing some people I don't get to see very often. Don't forget about the November giveaway. All you have to do is be a follower to be entered to win a "Cookies for Santa" plate.

If you are interested in ordering, the plates are $25. I can also add a "Milk for Santa" mug for $5 more. I also just got in a big order of platters for hand/footprint platters. I have sold about 3/4 of that shipment, but I have about 3 left. Let me know if you are interested in a platter. I could email some samples and set up a time to meet with you and the kids. We are getting close to the deadline--I will need time to paint and fire before Christmas. I am trying to stay way ahead of the rush this year. I have made a vow--No Christmas Eve painting, but we'll see. I always have good intentions.

Open House

Christmas Open House

More About Me!

This is a post for my Louisiana/Bama fan. I was actually born in Alabama!! I lived there until I was about 7 years old. My daddy lives in Mobile, so we try to make it over that way several times a year. Have fun at the big game and be safe!!

I just had "one of those moments." What I mean is, I know that in a few years I will look back and think it was funny, probably laugh a little. While watching TV last night, I started working on some custom sea life handpainted ornaments. The large crab one turned out cute and was ready to ship. I am sure you can see where this is headed--she picked it up and crashed the "ball" to the floor. I can say "she," because anyone who knows my family knows which child I am talking about! She's still cute, just everywhere, into everything, all the time! I am smiling, and I am heading downstairs to paint a new crab ornament. Sorry no pics, yet!

Christmas Giveaway

I have been waiting for the perfect giveaway. I will draw the end of November for a personalized

Cookies for Santa Plate!

It's easy--all followers will be entered to win. I know I have a lot of readers that aren't followers, so now is a good time to add your name to list. The sample here is one Mattie Claire painted this summer, but I will post a pick of the Cookies for Santa plate later today.

I have some non-local followers, so I thought I would tell a little bit about myself. I live in Central Louisiana. I am a school teacher and mother to two little girls. I love my job, but I enjoy painting on the side even more. I have some of my stuff in two shops--the Pea Patch and CB Antiques. I will be doing CedarTown--a Christmas Market this weekend, Friday and Saturday in Ruston, La. I know I have said this before, but it is true. You could do all of your Christmas shopping in one stop. They have EVERYTHING! Send me a comment or email if you need more details.
