and we're off!

Hooray for finally adding some images of my 'Lollipop Designs'! To the right you'll see several different door hangers that I've created for friends & family - from dorm hangers to baby girl nursery hangers I've 'been there, painted that'. Each one is uniquely different...there is no 'formal' measurements or format...each is created specifically with the recipient in mind...that's what's so fun about each one - that no two creations will ever be the same. Next up is a couple of designs that I'll be doing for powder rooms & master baths...such as a simple powder room hanger with the couples last initial...simple & chic. Or the "mr." & "mrs." hangers for display above the respective towel bars in a master bath. I can't wait to get started!

Getting Started...

Welcome to Lollipop Designs...my newest baby. I never thought I'd start my own side business, nor did I ever think I'd become a blogger, but here's to trying something new! As I build my business, clientele & catalog, I'll steadily post recently finished projects. I began Lollipop Designs with the determination that I needed another 'creative outlet' for all this couped up energy! I design & paint personalized canvases for baby nurseries, christenings/baptisms, newly-weds, special occasions & more. I started painting my own daughter, Sophia's, the day before she was born...talk about a 'labor of love'...with crunch time approaching to head to the hospital, I thought, "oh, let me start a little project too!" It was surprisingly relaxing & peaceful, & so I continued until it was finished. Now I could say her nursery was complete & ready for her arrival! It's a special little 'welcome' that I get everytime I approach her room to play, soothe or rock her to sleep. Since Sophia's, I've gone on to create a few more nursery 'door hangers' as well as a few monogram 'door hangers' for my college-aged sister-in-law, cousin & more. It's a wonderful sense of accomplishment upon completion...not to mention rewarding when I get to give it away to the recipient! As I get better at this 'blogging' thing, I'll post more photos, pricing & examples. If you are interested in a Lollipop Designs creation, let me know...I'd love to create something perfect for you!
