Christmas Card Love

I have been meaning to post this all week and just haven't had time!!!  I wanted to share with you our Christmas card created by the super talented designer behind Bon Vivant, Liza Cleveland!!!  Look a here!!!  

I could not be happier with the way they turned out!!  All I told her was I wanted kraft paper and a reindeer head and voila!!!  Go here to see more of her fantastic work or stop by Novel. (341 King Street Suite B) for all you locals to see all of her work!

Now the photography, you know if you follow my blog, is Ashley Warnock's work.  Love, love all the pics she took of my boys at the beach in their Christmas gear.  

Ok, on to what I have been up too lately....

Christmas Party at Novel....

(Bon Vivant, Balboa, Library and Blue Chickadee)

Little R's Christmas Program....

(he's the one in the middle, white shirt.  SO SWEET!!)

followed by Christmas with Big R's side of the family...

The boys with their "Machi"

Roo aka King Crabber

Fallen Nativity Scene:(

Funny

After all this partying I had to get down to business and paint, paint, paint a bunch of these...

Merry Christmas to all!!!!  

Shoot me an email if you are interested in getting a silhouette painted for the New Year!!!!

Lately

Thought I would share a few recent pics of what I have been up too lately.....  Hope you don't get bored but there were too many pics to narrow down.  We spent Thanksgiving week with Big R's side of the family on Sullivans Island.  We had the most beautiful weather.  Perfect for these three little badgers to run around on the porch and beach.

Sweet boys with their cousin Baby G - (we have two baby g's so mine goes by mr. big:)

Failed attempt #341 to get a Christmas card picture

my little speed demon

the sweet boy that he is-oh, could he not stay just like this forever????

After a fun filled week at the beach we headed to Columbia to visit my family and attend my sweet godson/cousin's child's christening-is that even correct English???

Little R loving my big brothers old LEGOs from way back in the day that Chattie and Rabbit saved.

My gorgeous cousin Jane and her sweet baby boy after his Christening.  Of course no luck with both boys looking at the camera at the same time, but at least we are:)

Rabbit and Little R!  One of my favorite pics of my dad with my first baby.

Cousins

Could just eat him up...look at those little hands...

Attempt #527 at a Christmas card

Now back to work.

I finished several paintings I have been working on for a while now.  

Now, if you are still reading, don't forget to check out our shopping site, novel.bigcartel.com and get you some Christmas Gifts!!!

Shades

I need help!  

These lamps have been sitting on my dining room table since I brought them home over a month ago.  I have GOT to take them to be rewired and get shades for them.  Will you please tell me what style shade would look best with these???!!!!    

Next up, where to put these beauties?

I'm thinking maybe our bedside tables for this pair below???  Although they may be too big...

And here are a few blue chickadee things I have been painting recently.  This alligator is painted on a 48" long canvas, so I turned it into a growth chart.

This series will go in a baby boy's nursery in Beaufort.  I hope his momma likes them:)

Sea Life Nursery

Remember a few days ago when I posted about my most recent "sea life" paintings going to a friend in Florida? Well, here they are in her unbelievably chic nursery!!! I love it and hope she loves her paintings! So fun seeing the end result...

Sea Life

This month has been crazy, wouldn't you agree??!!! Blue Chickadee has been busy, busy painting! Below is a three part "sea life" series I painted for a friend in Florida. Each canvas is 12"X16"

These will hang in her little boy's nursery above the changing table. Isn't her bedding ADORABLE!!! Check this bedding out here. If I had to do it all over again I would do this! I am such a stripe girl!
