Squeal Appeal

So after a small 'hiatus', I am back & ready to paint! Since I am a full-time working mom, free-time comes at a premium...so between a short vacation to South Dakota to see family, spending time at our family lake house, and a week at market in Atlanta I'm finally ready to tackle some new designs! You'll notice a new photo of my good girlfriend, Monica, who has started an at-home business of monogrammed goodies. Since I LOVE anything 'personalized', I offered to host her first party. It went great & really helped Monica get her business off to a fantastic start! I wanted to do something fun for her too...so I created an 8x10 rectangular canvas that read 'Squeal Appeal inside'...this is phrase the captures everything she sells! So I painted this canvas to hang on my front door the night of the party...it got all of the guests really excited about what they were about to see from Monica too. I gave the sign to Monica to bring to each hostesses home to hang on the front door with a wreath hanger....something so fun & unique you couldn't help but to love it! I was quite flattered the the President of Initials-Inc (Monica's company) emailed her to pay her compliments on the idea - yay for Lollipop Designs receiving national recognition! So, as the dust continues to settle, I'll be back being a busy bee painting fall, holiday & everyday designs!
