logo

After quite some time of nit-picking every little aspect of my creation, I have finally created THE PERFECT logo for Arbour Beauty and I am so stinking excited! I am so thankful that I'm familiar with the ends and outs of Adobe InDesign and was able to create my very own logo exactly how I want it.

It  shows everything that Arbour Beauty stands for and I couldn't be more satisfied with the way it turned out!



What do y'all think?

time for twine

You know those shopping trips you embark upon with great caution? The "I'm only gonna get the stuff on my list, nothing else!" trips to the grocery. Well, for me, this happened in the craft store.
The Memphis heat coupled with the insane humidity would make even the devil break a sweat. It's miserable. So I planned to make a quick trip and be outside and in my poorly AC equipped vehicle for as little time as humanly possible. In and out. But alas, the my crafty instincts were against me.

There was a SALE.

So I flip-flopped down just about every aisle and picked up some things I certainly didn't need bu by gosh I wasn't gonna pass up 75% off.

Twine. On sale. It looked cool. I liked the color (earth tones are my friend), so I grabbed a big ole spool and before I could control my urges, I had a bout 50 bucks worth in my cart. Oops!

Needless to say, I created this fun little tree from my twine find and I must say I quite enjoy it.



The perks of impulsive shopping at its finest, y'all.

update

Just a little update here...

I'm working on the finishing touches of my logo!

I'm way excited :) Once I finish, I'll be able to have some cards and other things for when I sell paintings.

I guess that's not really much of an update, but I don't want to spoil the other things I've been working on until they're complete.

So for now, I'll leave you with that, and this painting I just posted. The background is a deep robin's egg color. LOVE!
