Hi Everyone....I took a breather yesterday as I finished a big project and thankfully have a new bunch of projects I have to work on.....So I took the afternoon off to finish a custom piece that I created from a memory from my last Mother's Day this year....Cole and I went to the Royal Botanical Gardens and had a wonderful day ...while we were there he gave me a kiss and a big hug and my heart melted......Here are some photos from that day.....I created this custom watercolour as inspired by that day...and that special kiss.....he is the greatest gift I have ever received!!!If you need a cool gift you can purchase one of these paintings...It is created with inspiration from one of your photos...you can pick one up in my new Etsy Shop....
I also was lucky enough to be contacted by a wonderful stamp maker who is now using my special illustration of a cupcake on some stamps in her shop..... Blossom Stamps is working with me....she created stamps from my cupcake artwork...
you can pick these up here....there is a small one...a large one....and a set!!!
