Happy Memorial Day from Pixie Paint Studio!

Today our nation celebrates Memorial Day.

We honor all those who have served and are actively serving our country's armed forces. Saying "thank you" doesn't seem nearly enough for all that you have done to make sure we retain our freedom. We know freedom isn't free and we know that our freedom comes at a great sacrifice by you. We appreciate you and all that you do. May God be with you and May God Bless America!

Thanks for visiting my blog today,

Hello everyone,
We have been quite busy at Pixie Paint Studio with custom orders and the like. As a result, the web presence has been a little lacking. Trying to devote enough time to my family and my orders can sometimes be a bit trying, but I love both so much that I find I have become a pretty good juggler. I wanted to let you all know that there are lots of new plans in the works for Pixie Paint Studio. I am not going to spoil the surprise yet by writing a tell-all. Instead, I am just going to tell you to keep checking back here often. For those of you who have kept me busy with custom orders, I truly thank you.

I have more than enjoyed completing all your projects and I look forward to all those that I will be doing in the future. (If you have a custom order, don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to talk with you about a custom item painted just for you.)

Thanks for all your orders and your support and thank you for stopping

by my blog today.

A collage for the girls at Cherrylane Boutique

The gals at Cherrylane Boutique are having a launch on ebay this week. Just in case you aren't familiar with their designs, they offer some beautifully made custom boutique items for kids. I am launching with them this week and in so doing, came up with a digital image collage picture to showcase and advertise the items that are currently listed. I wanted to share the collage with you here. By the way, if you click the collage picture, it will take you directly to their auctions they have for their Hop Into Spring Launch. I encourage you to stop by.
You'll be glad you did!

A new kind of custom baby announcement......Order yours today

Remember the days when we had to wait until a baby was actually delivered before we knew what gender the baby was or what it looked like?

Well......times are changing!!

 Many expectant parents are now getting 3d and 4d ultrasound baby images of their little ones while in utero. These pictures allow parents to know for sure the gender of their baby and to get a first hand look at what new baby looks like. Many parents want to share these photos. With postage prices going up, emailing or online posting of digital pictures seem to be the method of choice for sending out due date announcements. I have done several of these type pictures and scrapbook layouts for expectant parents, eager to share the news of their soon coming bundle of joy. Recently, the Thornton family had an ultrasound and found that they are soon to deliver a baby girl whom they plan to name Myelea Rose.
Their nursery and baby shower were done in a rubber duckie theme, so they wanted a matching announcement to send out letting everyone know that they were having a girl and when she is predicted to make her debut into the world. The nursery colors are pink and mint green and decorated with rubber ducks. Here is what I came up with.

The Thornton family are thrilled with their announcement and look forward to welcoming baby Myelea Rose into the family. This will be an especially joyous occasion for the Thornton family as baby Myelea Rose will be the first female grandchild out of the 11 boys they have thus far.

If you are interested in a custom digital announcement or matching scrapbook products, contact me regarding a custom order. I would be happy to create something just for you.

**If you would be interested in seeing Myelea's complete custom made "coming home" baby ensemble, made by me, click HERE to be taken to my sister blog.   It really turned out cute.

And the winner of our custom logo, photo enhancement and advertising package is....

Happy New Year from Pixie Paint Studio

Happy New Year to all of my customers, followers and readers who helped to make 2011 a very successful year for me. I had so much fun creating for all who ordered from me and all who contracted me to make special items for them both here and on my sister sites. I had so much fun and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Thanks to all my followers who have kept in contact with me over the years and continued to order from me. Your encouragement has been a highlight to me! Thanks to you, my friends and family, who have encouraged me. A special thank you to my husband and my daughter who encourage me, help me and believe in me. I can't begin to say what your support means to me. (Dear husband, you are my best friend and I love you so much. You help me to make all that I do possible in more ways than mere words could convey.) And...most of all, I thank God! It is He who gave me my talents and blesses me to use them. My life is HIS and I pray only that I might use my talents to bring HIM honor and glory and that I might share His great love through my work. 2011 was a great year and I look forward to all the wonderful things that 2012 will bring.

I haven't had a lot of time to post to my blog (because I have been so busy with orders) but I am going to try to post a bit more often this year. I started this blog because of customer requests, so, I suppose the very least I can do is post every now and then.

Thanks to you all.

Happy New Year!

May God bless and keep you throughout this new year!

Thanks from
