'tis the season...wedding season

So as I begin to post more often on here (finally, right?) I will be sharing a few different things such as updates on my donation drop offs and beauty tips/ DIY. I figure if I'm donating beauty products I might as well have some fun with them, too. I'm excited to get to try some things I've been curious about for some time now! So look back tomorrow for some beauty related advice and go ahead and prepare yourself for how goofy I'm about to look in the pictures... :)

What I'm really here to talk about today is a new little something that I accidentally started doing literally like...oh, I'd say three days ago. I was painting, listening to my dear friend Beethoven, when I decided to turn a swirly tree into this...

And  it seems to be perfect timing because it is that time of year! I've got a lot of friends getting engaged and married these days (When did I grow up? Weird.) and this is the perfect "happy" for the newlyweds!

On top of that, it only seems right to broaden Arbour Beauty's horizon and custom make these to sell to benefit our cause. So, for $15, you can purchase these for the new happy couples in your life. I will also be making them in black (background) and white (tree/writing) if those colors work better for the space.

This one above is my folks wedding date, long long ago...but still goin' strong!

So, what do y'all think?

                                          First of all let me just say that jet lag is a PUNK!

Beautiful view of  the ruins in Ancient Corinth. 

My body is so confused about what time of day it is which is making it hard for me to be productive. Not to mention the past couple of days have been rainy here in Memphis which, to me, is automatic permission for a "lay in my bed and watch Law & Order: SVU" day. But sometimes the down time is more productive than not. I'm working on editing the pictures I took during the month I was in Greece and have just added some new ones to Arbour Beauty!
Not only that, but a rainy day is a great excuse to hide out in my room, crank up the Adele and get to painting. I'm excited to upload and share some of the art I've been working on, so keep an eye out for those here in the next couple of days. I'll be updating later  with some more information about the shelters that Arbour Beauty will benefit. I'v also got some new ideas headed your way!

Check out the new photos and don't forget to view my paintings on etsy.com.

For now, back to painting.
