Hey everyone…this week I am a guest giveaway over at the amazing crafty blog Little Bit Funky. Up for grabs for winner #1 is a custom adult/kids tee of winners choice and for winner #2 a custom key fob of winners choice. There are multiple ways to enter. Click here and go check it out — enter to win.

And now for some new orders.  These key fobs are headed to Stephanie in Illinois and Heather is Georgia.  Stephanie wanted a scripture key fob with an added cross.  Love all the warm colors.  And Heather wanted a special Vietnam key fob to show some love for her sweet child from Vietnam.  She also needed three other key fobs that have “Live Like Shane” written on them.  One of her friends husband recently passed away from cancer.  They use to say “Pray for Shane”, but now have changed their mantra to “Live Like Shane”.  What a sweet, sweet order this one was.  Thank you so much Stephanie and Heather for your business.

This next order is headed to Amy in North Dakota.  Amy wanted a #3 owlie print birthday tee for her sweet little boys third birthday.  I love this fabric and was super excited when Amy chose it.  Thanks so much Amy and hope the party is a blast.

I didn’t realize I had so many orders headed out to Illinois this week, but here is another.  Lyndsey in Illinois ordered these two Africa tees to show some love for Ethiopia.  I love these two new fabrics…they look awesome on the bold dark tee colors.  Lyndsey hope your process goes smooth, quick and easy.  Thank you for your business.

This order is headed to Carolyn in Illinois ALSO!!  So funny the wave of Illinois.  Carolyn wanted several Africa tees to show some love also.  These tees really make my heart happy and what a pleasure it is to send these out all across the US.  Thanks so much Carolyn and hope you are holding your new son soon.

And lastly this set of Africa tees is headed to Michelle in Ohio.  They are also adopting from Ethiopia and needed some tees to show their love.  Thanks so much Michelle and good luck with your whole process.

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway HERE and have a great Monday!

I get super excited when customers request art pieces because making art…like canvas art…was my first love.  I get even more excited when it is something new they want and even more and more excited when they don’t have any preferences.  Now don’t get me wrong, it is also quite nice to have someone who is very detailed because then I don’t have to do much thinking and frankly, I’m afraid all my kiddos are taking care of the majority of my brain cells lately, so not thinking is also super nice.  But sometimes my brain just needs a creative workout and when it comes it always seems to show up at the right time.

This first order was placed my Marianna in Franklin, Tennessee.  Marianna is getting married soon and wanted 8×10 canvases for each of her bridesmaids gifts.  Each one is a different verse and so I wanted each design to be associated with the specific verse, but still wanted them all to flow.  Thanks so much Marianna for your business.  Hope your bridesmaids love them and hope your wedding is perfect.

And this last order was placed by Angel is Texas.  Angel wanted a 16×20 Names Of Jesus canvas and a 8×10 Adoption canvas.  Their family adopted domestically, so she wanted something different for the background on the adoption piece and I went with sweet hearts.  Thank you so much Angel and hope you love both pieces.

I am closing in on the 500 mark on Facebook…so get ready for an art giveaway soon.  And check back on Monday because I will be a guest giveaway on another crafty site and up for grabs is a custom kids or adult tee of your choice and a custom key fob…so two winners.  I will post all the details Monday.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Okay and I almost forgot, but Holiday World was fantastic…seriously we had a blast and I was super impressed.  We Kelley’s gave it 5 gold Holiday stars!

And who doesn’t like free soft drinks ALL DAY LONG!  Cheers to Holiday World and the weekend.

Oh, I feel like a kid…I just know I won’t be able to sleep tonight because we are headed out early to Holiday World.  We have never been before and we are leaving all of our small kiddos behind, but are taking our oldest niece and nephew, Cooper and Campbell and their momma Jen for the day.  So I will not have internet access tomorrow and will not be replying to any emails until Friday.  Did I mention I was excited?!?!  And here are a few orders that are headed out.  This first order was placed by Emily here in Tennessee.  She wanted a 16×20 Names of Jesus canvas.  This is still one of my most favorite pieces to make.  Thanks so much Emily and hope you will truly enjoy it.

And this order was placed by my friend Kelly.  One of her good friends, who loves cardinals,  just had a second sweet little girl.  Kelly wanted a cardinal tee for big sister and a cardinal bib and letter “c” bib for new little sister.  Thanks so much Kelly and hope everyone loved their gifts.

And I have so many things to be excited about lately.  I currently have 5 art pieces going and cannot wait to share them with everyone and the customers who ordered them.  And I am super excited about my new button in the sidebar…grab a button and share on your sites.  Thanks so much to Dana Hale for designing all my business stuff.  Check our her site Etsy store HERE…she’s the best and totally rocks custom orders as well.  I also am working on my next art giveaway…going to celebrate 500 fans on Facebook with this giveaway….CANNOT WAIT!!!  I will truly have a hard time letting this piece go.  Click on the Facebook button in the side bar and become a fan.  And did I mention I have a great husband and the three best kiddos ever…I’m not partial at all 🙂

I picked up a few new fabrics today and wanted to post them.

And this sweet little adoption plated is headed to Jeannette in Washington.  She has friends who will be home soon with their new little girl and she wanted a special gift to have at the airport for them.  Thanks so much Jeannette for your business.

So I have been insanely busy with work and life and family and the holiday and the list could go on and on.  In the midst of all that it totally slipped my mind to tell you about a family adoption raffle that is being held and ends tomorrow. Up for grabs are some great items including a Pitter Patter custom Africa tee of your choice, size and color and two Pitter Patter key fobs…one that has this families mantra handwritten on it and the other being a custom key fob of the winners choice.  All tickets are just $1…so you could win some awesome prizes and help this family with their adoption expenses all for just a $1.  CHECK OUT THEIR SITE HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS.

I know today isn’t the 4th of July, but it totally feels like it.  We are heading out to see family, eat food and enjoy fireworks this evening.  I had to head to Kroger yesterday before more festivities and captured Hud and Sol giving each other high-fives.  This was a first.  They give tons of high fives to anyone and everyone, but it was like it just dawned on them, while riding around Kroger, that “Hey, we can give each other high fives and that will be cool”.  And yes I take my camera everywhere and this being one of those reasons.  I loved Huddy’s sweet face and his enthusiasm at really making this high five work.  These boys love each other and have a bond like no other and for that I praise and thank God daily.  They are truly best friends and that makes this momma happy.

And here are some new orders.  This first key fob was one of the giveaway winners.  I already posted another one and here was Ellen’s.  Thanks so much for entering Ellen and hope you love your new custom key fob.

This next order is headed to Sierra in Florida.  She wanted an Africa tee with a heart over Swaziland and an Africa key fob.  Thanks so much for your business Sierra and hope you love your items.

This next tee is headed to Shannon in Texas.  Shannon wanted an Africa tee with a heart over Zambia.  It is always such a pleasure to make these shirts.  I do SO love them.  Thanks so much Shannon.

This next order is for Elmira here in Tennessee.  She wanted two Africa tees with hearts over Ethiopia and a sweet little 5×5 canvas bow holder.  She loved a birdy themed one I made a while back for my niece Lyla so I went with a similar theme and love how it turned out.  Thanks again so much Elmira.

And this last order is headed to Elisabeth in Virginia.  She wanted a South Korea tee and a South Korea key fob.  She is adopting a sweet little girl from there and wanted “hope” added to her shirt as a reminder to herself.  Thanks so much Elisabeth and hope the process to your daughter is oh so quick.

This sweet little turtle onesie I actually made for Huddy’s first Halloween costume.  While I was going through old clothes of the kids this week, getting ready for consignment, I found this costume.  I thought I would throw it out there if someone wanted to purchase it.  It is a light green onesie size infant.  Shoot me an email if you are interested.  pitterpatterart@gmail.com

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
