The Crush -- Happy Valentine's Day!

"The Crush"

Aaahhh . . . remember the days of school Valentine's? The doily-decorated box of valentines in the back of the room and the party at the end of the day. I always had chips and popcorn stuck to the frosting on my cupcake that I'd stuff in a bag to bring home for later. Ha!

For all intents and purposes I'm calling this one done. I'll probably tweak it a bit, but will have it up for sale on my site in a day or so. Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine's Day!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!  I'm pretty much done with this, although I just need to let it set for a bit so I can make sure.  I may have a little tweaking to do to the empty spot.  I think it looks a little wonky.  

Hope you and your valentine have a lovely day!

Do you need a special Valentine for your special Valentine?  This little painting is perfect.  Actually it's a lovely little painting to cheer up anyone or any space (if I do say so myself).  It's painted on paper and comes matted in a white mat that measures 10" x 10."  I've reduced the price from $75 to a starting bid of $60 and I will even wrap it in my new Valentine gift wrap for the winning bidder!  :)

The image below is how this painting could look when framed.  I think it's adorable.

Valentine's Day cards and gift wrap

"Paper Heart #3" notecard

I mentioned yesterday that I have a midwinter sale going on over at my storenvy shop.  Included in the 20% off sale is my valentine notecard.  You can access it out here.

I've also done some updating to my Spoonflower shop where I have a few fabric/gift wrap/wallpaper designs for sale.  I recently added my "Elvis Man" design (see previous post) ... I think it's pretty unique ... and will be adding my Valentine patterns as soon as I receive and approve my proofs.

Coming soon . . . "Pretty in Pink" and "Dancing Hearts."  "Elvis Man" is already available for purchase as fabric or gift wrap.  I can't imagine anyone wanting to wallpaper a room with The King -- ha! -- but I can certainly make it available as wallpaper should someone be interested.   

my latest designs -- Valentine patterns not yet for sale -- but keep checking back at:
