I have always tried take a few hours to make a special ornament with my children and the kids in their classrooms as a special keepsake. This year, I made Handprint Ornaments with my daughter's two year old class and Footprint Ornaments wit my son's infant class and they turned out so well, I thought it would be fun to share them. using footprints is a good idea for infants to 2.5 year olds They were very easy to make and you could tweak them based around the supplies you have on hand (meaning you could create them on a different sized ornament, use different ribbon, or sub out a fluffy red pom pom instead of a button for the...
I hope that if you are local, you can go check out Bennett's Framing & Art. They have tons of my paintings in the Gallery and most of them are already framed with an array of their beautiful frames.

In my early twenties I was somewhat of a nomad, moving from Greenville, SC to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to Nashville, TN, to...

And I have long been following Alexis Walter and purchased this piece back in September to go over the mantle in the room. I love that it has tiny pops of color and charcoal markings in in. The art definitely adds a layer of texture and dimension to the bedroom, and I could not be more pleased with how the paintings turned out!I also had four panels installed in the room this week (they look great)...
