Tis the Season for Joy

Tis the season for Joy. Don't let people tell you can't do something. That will steal your joy. This sweat shirt features my original art with the Nativity, the true meaning of Joy. This art is on other items as well, in my Redbubble store. This is a great gift for all of your Christian family and friends. Click here, to see the sweatshirt, and find other items as well.

Etsy Christmas in July Day 9 Hand Painted Christmas Gift Bags Set of 9

Today, I am sharing a set of 9 hand painted Christmas gift bags, all painted by me. I have been working on these, off and on, for some time. I do have two other sets available, in my shop, that are other themes than Christmas. You get all 9 bags, for one low price, plus free USA shipping, layaway if you need it, and from now through July 12, 2015 use coupon code, christmasinjuly, to get an extra 10% off. These bags are fully reusable, as long as you store and take care of them, kids love to put stuff in them, or you can cut off the art work and frame it. Awesome! All 9 are different, no two are alike. Click here, to visit my store, and buy these wonderful bags.

Thanks and Noel Hand Painted Word Candle Upcycled Jelly Jars

I am just a little late with this post, LOL. Sorry about that. My mother, for some reason, had a whole bunch of jelly jars cleaned and saved. Maybe she was going to put homemade jelly in them. I don't know, but she offered them to me. Since they were all the same size, I took them. Then using letter stencils I created a set of THANKS and NOEL painted candle jars. The Noel is not pictured, but they are the same coloring and design. You can add a tealight or a votive candle, but I like the tealights because they come right out to be replaced. You could also put in those battery operated candles, but I don't find they last very long for what they cost. They look lovely on a dining room table, or mantel like I did. If I had more of these jars, I would do a set for my store. Maybe I will start looking for the jars now, then I can have them in time for next year. We don't eat a lot of jelly, lol. These do take a while to make. You need several layers of paint, and then sealing. That is after you have cleaned and removed all labels.
