Hey Thursday!

Thank you to everyone who purchased items last night and this morning.  As always, you all are crazy kind and nice and generous.  I could never say just how much I appreciate it.  It’s a lot.

There are a few items still available if you want to check them out.  You can CLICK HERE or go to the “Currently Available” tab at the top.  Also, apparently my “contact” button was not working 100% of the time after the sale started last night.  I got several FB messages and emails wondering if I had received messages.  If you HAVE NOT heard from me about wanting to purchase something, please know I did not receive your email.  I am not ignoring you…I promise.  You can try again by CLICKING HERE or send me an email at pitterpatterart at gmail dot com  Sorry for the issues…some people were getting through…and some were not.  Ugh!

And in other completely unrelated news…Josh Kelley is working from home today which is a rare occurrence.  I love when he’s home.  And Amon does too.  And randomly fell asleep…on his arm.

Hope you guys all have a wonderful Thursday.  I’m off to watch one work…and one sleep 🙂

Happy Thursday!

Wednesday Sale

So I have crazy fun plans for this weekend and just up and decided this morning I would have a little sale here on the blog tonight8pm central.  Josh and I are going with Full Count Ministries this summer to Nicaragua and I thought this would be a perfect way to help with funding some of the trip costs. Josh will be there for 2 weeks and I’m going for 1 week.  I’m super super excited.  Cannot wait to see what God has in store.

I will have canvases, key fobs and mini-buntings up for sale.  Everything will be posted tonight under the tab at the top Currently Available at 8pm central sharp.  And if you are needing something by Mother’s Day, I will ship your item as soon as payment is received.  So if you pay tonight, I will ship tomorrow 🙂  Think Mother’s Day, end-of-the-year teacher gifts, friend gifts, birthday gifts, happy spring gifts, etc.

A little impromptu Wednesday night sale.  Fun handmade goodies all for a purpose.  And tell a friend.  The more the merrier.

You can send me a message HERE if you have any questions.  See you tonight.

Happy Wednesday!

A Tiny Sale

Our weekend was full and lovely.  We enjoyed donuts, we celebrated my niece Campbell’s birthday, I took the boys shoe shopping, I got in some good milage running, Josh made me two killer arrows…one small and one big…there was painting, church was crazy good, we spent time with friends and I finished up some work.  It was completely well rounded.

I’m kind of already ready for Friday, but we have a fun day planned for today since school is out.  And this week will be good.  New things on the horizon, new projects and possibilities, getting accountable to one another, making choices and doing, working hard on making 2014 different.  It will be a good week indeed.

I’ve been working on orders and have some really sweet canvases completed, but can’t post them yet…they’re gifts and the givers don’t want the recipients to see.  You guys are fun.  And thank you for your orders.  I did get a chance in between process stages to work on some canvases that have been mulling around in my mind.

I have these two canvases posted under the “Currently Available” tab at the top.  They will go first come, first serve.  Make sure to check out the page for details.

12×12 “She burned too bright for this world” canvas

4×12 “Be strong and courageous” canvas

So check them out if you are interested.  I’m going to start adding more items randomly as I try and work on projects in between orders.  We’ll see how it goes.  2014 is for trying new things 🙂

Hope you all had a good weekend and enjoy your day.  Here’s to one fantastic week.

Happy Monday!

Saturday Sale

Yesterday was so busy I totally forgot to post.  Sorry.  Just slipped my mind.  Tuesdays and Thursdays are quickly becoming 2 of my most favorite days of the week.  With each kiddo who joins the Kelley family we’ve been able to work it out where on MDO days (Tuesdays & Thursdays) the youngest Kelley gets one-on-one Mom time.  Last year was Sol’s year and Huddy and Harper had their year previously and this year belongs to Amon.  I love the time and attention I can pour into him.  And sometimes we do crazy things like go to tattoo parlors and run in 20 degree weather.  He was so hardcore.  He was like, “Yo, Mom, it’s cool that it’s so freakin’ cold out here.  You keep on running your way to 55 miles.  I’m good.”  So maybe he didn’t say all of that, but he was stellar and bundled up tight.  Ignore my terrible gross hair 🙂

I sooooooo wish I had noticed how blurry this picture was when I took it.  He’s going for a new after bath look that is pretty dang cute.  Golly.

Okay so onto the real meat of the post.  I have really been struggling with how to do the “business” side of creating.  I love doing orders, but honestly I get really overwhelmed and am really, really loving hanging with my little family and all these crazy wee Kelleys more.  Creating is totally in my DNA, so I still do it often and am really trying to see the ways I can bless others around me with the talents God has blessed me with.  They are clearly His.

(Random pictures thrown in for cuteness)

So here is what I’m thinking.  I love to create the ideas that often float through my mind and I’m contemplating making Saturdays sale days.  Essentially, I would create during the week and then post all the creations up for sale on Saturdays.  This Saturday we’re going to give it a try and see what happens.  Right now I have quite a list of things I would like to complete for the first sale, including (10) 4×12 “Where you invest your love, you invest your life” canvases, plus an additional 12 varied canvases.  So if all goes according to plan I will have 22 canvases up for sale this Saturday.  That’s a lot of work, but I have been busting it since last week.

This 9×12 “Now the sky’s our point of view” canvas will be in the mix too.

There you have it.  We’ll give it a go and see what happens.  If all the canvases pan out and time permits, I might have some sets of key fobs and a few camera straps up for grabs as well, but don’t hold me to it…I tend to aim super high and miss sometimes.  I think that’s about it.  Oh and I will post more details on Friday like time, total of canvases for sale, etc.  I’m excited to see what happens.

Hope you’re having an awesome day and thank you from the bottom of my crafty heart for even reading my tiny bit of the internet.  You’re amazing.  See you tomorrow.

Happy Wednesday.
