Hayden and Harper

Twin girls.

Can you imagine? 

The bows. The pink. 

40 nails to paint?  It would be so fun.

Just like painting these canvases.  

Pure FUN.

H names are cool, huh?  

H names for girls that could also be boy names are even cooler.

Birds are cool, too. 

(Except for those unbelievably vile ones that eat roadkill.)

So is Pottery Barn Kid's Penelope bedding, which was the inspiration for these canvases.

Thank you PBK for always hitting it out of the park for us.

I thought about keeping these for myself.

But who wants to be the old lady who lived in the shoe who had so many boys she didn't know what to do, so she kept girl paintings in her home just to see something pink that wasn't her own? 

Not me. 

So, Harper and Hayden, enjoy your fun, girly paintings!

Spring Has (Almost) Sprung!

I walked outside the other day and saw my black car coated in a nice blanket of pollen.  Seriously.  

So, I thought..."Need to get my Nasonex refilled."

And then I thought...

"Time to paint for EASTER!"

It may only be February, but by the looks of the things around me (i.e. Cadbury mini eggs...can I get a witness???), it's time for: 

SpRiNg

I'm so ready for the lively colors of this season...

Just perfect for celebrating Easter.

Christmas 2011...A Month Late:(

Holy Moly. 

No blog in almost 6 months.  

That's a new slacker record for me!!!

Except, thanks to YOU, I haven't really been slack!

I am so appreciative for every single order from every one of you.  To be able to "work" from home and do something so fun and creative is such a blessing to me.  So, thank you!!!  Thank you for making 2011 the busiest and most fun year for The Peanut Paintshop.  I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Here's to a great 2012!

The Peanut Paintshop wasn't busy just with painting.

That's right...we had added another little peanut to our family.

A boy peanut.  The third boy peanut. 

Meet precious Charlie:

He is such a blessing to our family.  We are thankful for every moment we have with his sweet self.

And he's just a little bit cute:)

Onto the paintings!

The #1 seller for Christmas 2011:

ORNAMENTS!

Thanks to Pinterest, the Christmas 2010 designs were on high demand, but I got a request to change things up a bit and gave them some extra flair:

The ornaments were so much fun to paint...

And then a last minute order came in, and we did something a little different again!

The possibilities are endless.  Can't wait until Christmas 2012!

(And sorry for the terrible lighting in the photo.  Like most of the Christmas orders, they were completed in the late hours of the night and either didn't get photographed or got a cruddy photograph like this one...ugh.)

Thank you again for making 2011 the best year yet.  Bring it on for 2012!

Back to School Brown Nosin'

Want to get the school year off on the right foot?  

Buy your teacher a name sign!

They will love it. Just like Ms. Ryan did...

And Mrs. Cadaret will give you straight A's.

It has been rumored that the person who gave Mrs. Britt this sign is now in her will.

Do you get the picture?

Get your child's teacher a name sign.

Or get 5 name signs.

You might not have to volunteer for the Fall festival's dunking booth.

Your child will never be sent home with a note on his shirt.

Name signs are the modern day apple.

Teachers go nuts for them.

So after all of your typical back to school purchases are made, do yourself a favor and buy the one back to school purchase that will pay for itself (in A's, smiley faces and stickers that say "Terrific!")

6x12" name signs: $20 each

Gifts Galore!

Sometimes you need Just a Little Something.  Can't you just hear your mother saying that?  

"Mom, you didn't need to get the boys President's Day gifts!"

"Oh...it's just a little something."

So maybe this isn't for President's Day, but the purchaser of this canvas needed Just a Little Something for a baptism.  

"Cross Canvas"

8x10"

$25

Is everyone you know having a baby?  If so, get them a baby stats canvas!  There's one thing that people like more than the look of their own name, and that's the hand picked name of their newborn bundle of love. 

"Benjamin Michael"

12x24"

$60

Is everyone you know getting married?  If so, buy them an "Established" canvas!  If there's one thing people love more than their own name or the hand picked name of their newborn bundle of love, it's their new married name. :) (I sense a theme here...)

You can also do a rectangular "Established" canvas

"The Sammuts"

Both the 10" and 6x18" are great sizes for gifts.  They're small enough so the recipient doesn't have to have a specific spot for it.  They look great on a small wall space or book shelf.

Love. It.

I love this canvas.  

It's so bright. 

And cheery.

And pink. 

There is no pink in my house that is not mine. 

So I like to paint with pink. 

And green.

And different shades of pink.

With girly letters. 

And I love the name Josie. 

You have to have tons of personality with the name Josie. 

Josie has the most beautiful crib bedding from Polka Tot Designs. 

Paisleys and polka dot.

Pinks and greens.

And now a canvas with her super cute name to welcome her home in April. 

Cute bedding. Cute name.  It would have been hard to mess this one up!

"Josie"

18x36"

$120

*18x36" are typically $100, but the level of detail for the paisleys took more time than this Mama bargained for!  But definitely worth every minute.  The detail made it!

ps.  how many times can i use the word 'cute'? seriously.
