Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

I Have Three Things to Tell You...

 Happy Friday amigos! Lately Fridays have been especially welcome because Chris has been underway during the weeks and coming back home for the weekends. So, I get to see him today and we get the whole weekend together!

Yesterday, my buddy Rachel and I worked some power tools and hung a duo of shelves in my studio/guest room. I've been needing some sort of system to get my paintings off the floor. Here's my solution.


It's not a good project unless there's some spray paint involved, right? These shelf brackets were black and I sprayed them with some semi-gloss white. I still have to paint over the screws. 


Oh, what? You wanna know where to acquire one of these paintings for yourself? Sure! Just check out my Etsy shop. I'd be happy to have to rearrange my shelves. :)


I want to find a dresser for under those shelves to store and organize my shipping supplies. And I think I'm actually going to sell that Goodwill desk. It's actually a left handed desk and it's not really as functional as I'd like. I'll be sure to keep you updated as the room evolves. 

So, my blogger buddy, Joi needs your help. She is one of THREE finalists in the St. Louis 'Living Space of the Year' contest! The contest ends today and she needs every vote she can get! You can vote for her HERE

Not only does Joi have a beautiful home and blog, she's such a sweet person too. And she's a Spanish teacher! Woot woot! Here are some of her beautiful spaces. 




Aaaand one last thing on this beautiful Friday. If you're itching for a new blog design, now's the time to do it! Designer Blogs is having a sale--50% off their premades! They have some adorable designs and this is the best deal you'll find out there! Go scoop one up before they're all sold out!





(Also, if you mention you found them through Aisle to Aloha, I'll get a referral point with $5 towards my next service with them--and we know I'm always changing my mind on things so that'd make me a very happy blogger!)


Have a fabulous weekend! We're going to Cirque du Soleil on Sunday! Eek, I'm so excited! :)
