Christmas Stuff is IN!

Christmas paintings are here!  I can't believe it!!!

Here's why I can't believe it:

1.  Because 2010 has gone toooo quickly.
2.  Because I LOVE Thanksgiving and HATE how everyone skips over it like it's nothing, but here I am doing that.  But let's face it, not that many people want to buy a turkey canvas.  (If you do want to buy a turkey canvas, I will gladly paint one for you:)
Here we go...!!!!!!



"LET US ADORE HIM"
6" canvas with ribbon
$15
(great for a small gift or a child's room, doorknob, etc.)








"FAMILY ORNAMENTS"
4" canvas with ribbon
$8/each or $7/each when you buy 5 or more
(great for individual teacher gifts and friends that love the look of their own name)

These might be my favorite new Christmas item this year.  They're cute, colorful, and custom.  
The "Three Cs":)
(Please don't think I actually coined that phrase...just made it up.)


"Family Ornament" 
Style: Scout


"Family Ornament"
Style: Finn


"Family Ornament"
Style: Jack


"Family Ornament"
Style: Erin


"Family Ornament"
Style: John


"Family Ornament"
The Whole Gang

Feel free to mix and match (as seen below) or keep it simple and do several in your favorite style!


"Family Ornament"
The Whole Gang 
(again)


"Family Ornament"
The Whole Gang
(one last time...just because they're my new favorite, and just because my mother in law let me borrow her incredible camera and I couldn't stop taking pictures)


And just so you know....


5 year old boys...


are...


very...


cute.








Another favorite...

CHRISTMAS CARD HOLDERS!!!!


"CHRISTMAS CARD HOLDER"
Forget those glittery sleigh baskets forever and display the Christmas cards your friends and family worked so hard to make!!!!
8x24" canvas with 12 metal clips
$50
(great for yourself)


"Christmas Card Holder"
Close Up

You might remember the Christmas Card Holder of 2009...
It was such a hit, that I had to bring it back...this year with metal clips instead of clothes pins for a sturdier hold.  And a little metallic bling.


"Christmas Card Holder"
Naked
(This is what your Christmas Card Holder will look like on January 2nd....:(



"Christmas Card Holder- The Square"
12" square
$45
(Great for those with just a few friends). (joke)



"Christmas Card Holder-The Square"
Add your name, monogram, "Merry Christmas", etc!




Another sad, naked Christmas card holder.


Other ideas for what your "Christmas Card Holder" could say:

"Be Merry" (most popular from 2009)
"The (Whatever your last name is)"
"Wow, I've got a lot of friends"
"Deck the Halls, Y'all"
"Fa La La La La"
"UNC #1"

Those are just a few ideas. :)






"Dots and Stripes"
8x24"
$45
This painting is also a little stroll down memory lane from some of last year's pieces.
THIS DESIGN was the most popular design of all the Christmas paintings from 2009, so it had to make a comeback!  I kept this one simple and left off the card clips, but they can be added (for $10) to your canvas if this is your favorite look!


"Dots and Stripes"
From the other side...


As always, feel free to customize with color, font and word changes!!!







"MERRY AND BRIGHT"
6x18"
$30
(great for hanging in a small space, placing on a bookshelf or making your son hold in your backyard with a cheesy face....and, no, he's not for sale)


"Merry and Bright"
sans Jack









"JOY"
8"canvas with ribbon
$18
(great for remembering what Christmas brings to my life)


"Joy"
in it's entirety









"SANTAS BELT BUCKLE"
12x24"

(great for a larger wall space, would also make a fun wedding gifts!  Newlyweds love Christmas decorations because they usually have ZILCH!)








"The Gift"

God loved.  He gave.  His Son.



"The Gift"

Newbies

Y'all have been keeping me busy!  Thank you for the continued support of The Peanut Paintshop.  Painting continues to be a blast.  Looking forward to showing y'all the Christmas collection SOON!

In the meantime, here's an update of the latest and greatest:

This painting is for a college friend's nephew.  She lives in NYC.  Nephew lives in CA.  TPP is making is all over the country! haha
This painting has extra significance to me.  I'm studying the book of Joshua currently through my CBS group, and this was our memory verse for the week.  I learned that a great way to memorize a verse is to paint it.  You read it over and over again and make sure you haven't misspelled anything. :)

"Joshua 1:9"
20" square
$60


Football season has taken over our home, and even though it's not my favorite sport, it's been enjoyable to pull for local teams and for my favorite team, of course!  (UNC)

"Go Tigers"

$25


A smaller version of what's above...

"Tiny Team"

See the awesome ribbon at the top of the bow holder below?  This is the ribbon that inspired "Ruth" (above) and the ribbon that inspired the entire nursery that these paintings are going it.  I loved painting for this customer because she said she wanted COLOR!  Make it bright, I believe were her words.  Loved it.

Third time's a charm, right?


This canvas was painted for a friend of mine's nephew.  The doctors told them that he was missing a very important part of his brain that would not allow for him to live.  After a while, and another ultrasound later, the missing part was there and Tyler is a perfect little baby!  "Fearfully and wonderfully made"
"Triple N'itials"- tBg

Another fun name canvas! 
"Adrianna"

After all the pirate themed birthday parties we've taken our sons to, it was shocking that this is only the 2nd piratey canvas from TPP!  Side Note:  It was so special that the USPS thought they would 'hold onto it' (lose it) for 30 days before delivering to the right person.:)  But thanks to Laura at the Sault Ste. Marie PO, the painting was found and delivered to Ryder's home safe and sound.
"Pirate Ship"

Remember this painting....?
