Three Girls and a Paintbrush








Fall is my favorite time of the year and one of the reasons besides the great weather is that it's my peak crafting season! This is how a perfect day for me goes this time of year; both of my girls are home on a Saturday, we spread all our crafting supplies out in the kitchen, turn on a good movie and start painting crosses. It's really fun for me to see how each of us has a different decorating style. We started designing custom crosses a couple of years ago and we truly enjoy it as a hobby as well as a small business ~ it's also a great excuse to go to Canton Trade Days each month (to pick up supplies)!! :) haha Each one is different and unless we have a specific order for a baby cross or special color, we just grab a paintbrush and start randomly decorating. Using paint, paper, multiple smaller crosses, nailheads and old jewelry to decorate, amazingly, we've only had a few that just really didn't turn out that well. Lately, we have started painting frames and tissue boxes also. Ok, I have to admit I have tons of money in inventory and supplies but the way I see it is a Saturday at home painting is much cheaper than a Saturday at the mall !! Check out some of our work, Hailey recently painted the large one with cow hide being held by her friend Krina. Courtni did the cute pink cross that is monogramed and I did most of the others. My friend Jordin LePori sells them at her hair salon (Sean Lauren on Glade Rd. ). For a great stress relieving, therapeutic craft, grab a paintbrush and go to work or call me to order! Enjoy :)
