this is our happily ever after: 3 Hearts Design--the last installment of 2012 + 10 Day Sale

Thanks for being patient with all of my creativity and excitement about my new endeavor. All of my Christmas markets are finished and now I will begin to check of the list of custom orders I have waiting for me.

In the past 3 months I have created 110 individual canvases. I could hardly believe that number when I counted them all up!

I've learned a few things throughout these past couple of months:

1. Stick to Christmas markets where I know there will be a younger crowd of shoppers. Yesterday I had an older crowd that weren't quite into my whimsical, bright style. I totally get that not everyone is going to love my designs...I certainly don't like a lot of creative stuff that's out there...and I don't take any offense to those who look at my display and keep walking.

2. Begin to make partnerships with small boutiques in order to get my art out there and build my custom order business. (I have 9 being shipped to a boutique in Gruene, TX this week!)

3. Go with my gut when creating designs...I created a few new ones the night before Saturday's market and they sold immediately.

4. Keep pressing forward. This is what I feel God calling me to do in this season of life and the ideas just continue to flow, so I shall continue to create. In 2013 we're going to rearrange my office so that we can put in one large table and can finally clear our dining room table. It's not like we use the dining table to eat at, but it's truly one big hot mess. I also want to be able create in the office so that I can shut the doors and keep someone's little hands away.

Here are the canvases I have left. If you want one let me know. Also, the cut off for custom orders for Christmas is TODAY (Dec 5), so if you've been waiting... now is the time to act! Please note that if you live out of my area, shipping charges will apply. Custom orders are not discounted... sorry

Everything is discounted through Dec 15th with the prices as marked...the Christmas designs are discounted even more than the everyday designs.
