Spring Kindness


Hi, everyone!

I saw this image with the girl wearing rain boots, and immediately thought of my own rain boots. Our family bought some in Alaska since there is deep snow on the ground most of year, and when it does start to melt, it's just a slushy mess. Even though we are back in South Carolina now, I still wear my darling rain boots when it's rainy outside, even if it's just to walk to the mailbox. I just adore them. My husband Tom, thinks they are so ugly. LOL Not me. I think they are precious. :)


The image om my card is from a Simon Says Stamp club kit. I water-colored it, and am just tickled with how it came out.

Some Shirts We Made This Week


We've been busying honing our skills at shirt making these past couple of weeks. 

Our new business, Bonnie's Art & Vinyl, will be taking orders in just a couple more weeks, but here are some examples of things we can do. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more we will be incorporating into shirts.

All of the shirts shown below were photographed by Kati Lewis Photography.
These are all vinyl examples.
Screen Printing examples will be coming later this month.

There are tons more shirts we've made, 
with a variety of styles and designs. I'll post more later.
