I have been really enjoying strawberries lately! Like, eating them... . The last few years I’ve grown strawberries in my garden. They never did that well, but I kept going with it. . This year I won’t be doing a garden as we just moved and I need to figure out what’s going to come up in this yard, and where the best sunlight will be. ... . But you can bet your bottom dollar next year I’ll be growing stawberries! Heck, I might even throw some in a planter on the deck this year, why not! . . . #birthdaycard #happybirthday #birthday #birthdaystrawberries #deliciousstrawberries #birthdaytreat #birthdaydessert #sendacard #birthdaydropoff #writeanote #birthdaynote See more

Not quite sure where these are going, but it’s fun. Hopefully they will be some new card designs! . I have a hard time not trying to do IT ALL. I like so many styles and colour palettes that I want to try everything. . ... In the early stages of my business, I was actually doing everything; just all the little crafting things. I quickly learned that it was confusing to customers. . I decided to narrow down my focus and let other small businesses do those crafty things. . Card painting fell into my lap thanks to a very dear friend. I love how quick these little painting vignettes are. And within the category of cards I feel I’m able to do lots of experimenting and expressing! . Thanks for enjoying my cards as much as I do . . . . #abstract #abstractcards #colourblock #watercolour #greetingcardbiz #watercolourcards #dowhatyoulove #paintingcards #newcarddesigns #hopefullytheyturnout See more

Hello everyone! Happy new year! . It’s a new year and time for a refresh, both personally and digitally! Check out my updated website. Same great products, brought to you by an updated page. There have been a few price adjustments on custom pieces, so please take a look before ordering. ... . I will get to my call-back list and then open up for custom orders once again. . I took a much needed rest over the holidays and sacrificed my IG algorithm lol. So for those that have stuck by me, thanks to you!!!! . Going into the new year I thought this first post could fill you in on who I am. I am a creative soul at heart, always have been and always will be. I am 34 and married to a man that makes me laugh and enjoy life (I need that!). Fun fact: we share the same birthday! When we first met I made him show me his drivers license because I thought he was joking . We have two daughters, 8 and 6. They make us laugh constantly. . I have trained with a professional artist, who happens to be my uncle, here in Chilliwack since 2007. (Go check out James Wiens @wellingtonartgroup , he creates the most stunning oil paintings!!!). . I was born and raised in BC and can’t imagine a world without the mountains. . We currently are living with my parents while we look for our dream home (it better have a view of Cheam!). . I hate all the technological crap that goes along with running a business but I’m making small steps and challenging myself to learn more (can’t we just get back to the painting please?? ) . Hope you had a fantastic break and I’m ready for a new year! . . . . #newyearnewsite #siteupdate #fresh #workingonnewproducts #greetingcards #handmadecards #locallymade #inthefraservalley #beautifulbc # See more

This painting went to a very special teacher that both my girls had the pleasure of having. We are so grateful for her! She also makes the most beautiful jewellery @eleanormariejewelry (Can I pre-spend my Christmas money now please?!). .

This will be my kids for Christmas... buried in a pile of lego! (Just add a few more pink pieces in there ). . A cute custom card for a fellow lego-lover .

8 years ago we moved into this home. We brought both newborn girls home from the hospital to this house. It housed play dates and dinners and coffee dates. It saw tears and laughter. It bordered upon great and wonderful neighbours. Today we say goodbye to this house and take our memories with us onto the next . Thanks for your patience as I complete your orders!... . . .

One day we’ll be able to say this with confidence, right?? . My mother-in-law was talking to me about Hawaii today and it just made me start thinking of travel. I haven’t been to Hawaii but definitely want to go. I don’t usually have the travel bug, but right now with all the craziness and busyness I wouldn’t mind a getaway! . This card is available at poppyandlace.ca. Only one of its kind!
