Go Team!

 Know a UT fan who needs a unique Christmas gift? 

This painting is ready for you to wrap!  It is 8"x16" and sells for $30.

Not a fan of the Longhorns?  I can make something for your favorite team, too!  I'm really unbiased, but I live in Austin, so I figured I'd go with the home team.  And I have to say that A&M's defeat of Alabama was pretty impressive last weekend!  I'd love to paint you a "gig 'em" sign, or whatever you have in mind to support your school.

By the way, this can be hung with or without a ribbon on your wall.  It also looks great hanging on a front door from a wreath hanger.

Trim the Tree

 Thanksgiving is next week, and you know what that means.......

.....Christmas is right around the corner!

I've got these cute little ornaments for you to choose from.  Or get one of both!

If you have other ornament ideas I'd be happy make some custom, just for you!  They are 3"x4" and sell for $6 each.  These would be great little gifts for teachers or coworkers.

P.S.  This post is proof that I am a painter and not a photographer!  I apologize for the dim, blurry photos.  Cloudy skies and my little point-and-shoot camera don't get along very well.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer...

...is singing loud for all to hear.

If you haven't seen Elf you need to come out from under your rock, find the DVD and watch it!  It's right up there with White Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and A Charlie Brown Christmas on my list of all-time favorite Christmas movies.

This is my very first official order!  It is for Rebecca and her family.  She wanted this quote in red and white with polka dot ribbon.  The polka dots make me happy!  :)  Thanks for the order, Rebecca!  I love how it turned out and I hope you do, too!

And now I think we should all curl up on the couch with some candy canes and syrup and watch Elf!

Don't forget!  20% off your first order until November 23!

Get in the Christmas Spirit! **20% OFF DEAL!**

Have you started thinking about Christmas yet?  It will be here before you know it!  I mean...it's still 85 degrees where I live, but Christmas is still just around the corner!  And wouldn't this sign look great hanging on your front door with your family's name on it?  Or maybe you want something unique to give to a friend?  This could be yours!  It's just waiting to be personalized.  If you don't want a name on it, it could say "Welcome" or "Fa la la" or "Merry & Bright"...whatever melts your butter!  This 10"x20" canvas is for sale for $35.  And if this one sells before you get a chance to grab it up - don't worry!  I can make more!

But wait!  There's more!  I'm trying to get this little ol' business going, so if you "like" my facebook page (Creative at Heart Art), between now and November 23 (Black Friday!) I will give you 20% off your first order placed by that date.  If you've already "liked" my page, then thanks so much and I will still give you this offer as well!  Good deal, huh?  So start thinking about who might like their very own custom painting for Christmas!

Mini Monograms

I'm a part of a group called MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) at my church.  I made these little 6"x6" gifts for the fun girls who sit at my table each week.  I love how each of their personalities are reflected in their favorite colors.  I hope they will enjoy these and find a little spot that needs some color where they can hang them.

Christmas is around the corner!  These would make great gifts for teachers, friends, Secret Santas, you name it!  And remember...I would love to customize something just for you!

Pumpkin Welcome Sign **FOR SALE**

This is a 10"x10" Welcome sign.  I think this would look very nice on a front door or sitting in an entry way on a plate display holder.  I can add a ribbon to hang it with if you like.  The highlighting on the letters is pearl.  $25 + tax and shipping (if out of area).

Baby Girl Butterflies

Aaron's aunt and uncle recently adopted a sweet baby girl.  So I did what any normal person does...I stalked their baby registry!  They picked out a cute crib bedding set from WalMart, so I painted this to match.  I hope they will enjoy this and I look forward to meeting Miss Myranda one day!

Here's the bedding from WalMart:
