Etsy Store - PainterDesignsArt

I just started a new adventure!





I opened an Etsy store!  Yay!  Well, I'm kind of excited about it AND a little nervous.  I'm thankful that there isn't much overhead for each item that is on the site, but anytime you are putting your work out there for others to see (and like or hate) you can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

As you may know, I lost my "dream job" as a Marketing Director a few months ago and now I've been trying to focus on my own career/business and doing what I love.  The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful husband and family who have supported me through this new adventure, but some days I can't help but get a little hesitant about the change.

As the new Etsy shop evolves, you will find a mixture of all of the things that I enjoy creating: jewelry, photography prints, paintings, and graphic design.  In the mean time, while I'm stocking up the shop, if you like something, support me!  Once things start selling on the shop, it will help me understand more about what you guys are interested in.

Here are a few of the pieces that are currently available:















If you are interested in anything that is currently available, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Our Adventures at Hunting Island

Growing up,  my family went to Hunting Island every year for the week of Thanksgiving.  My grandparents were in a camping club and my family, along with about 30 other families, would camp, enjoy the beach, and even have a legit Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day.  

Hunting Island has always had a very special place in my heart.  Some of the best times and memories that I have, were made there with my family.  Many of the camping club members that were like family to us, have now passed away, but I still remember all of the times that I had with each one of them.  

I knew that I wanted my husband to experience Beaufort and Hunting Island and to see all of the things that I've always talked about.   So, I was extremely excited for our quick trip down there in May.  I took my camera on our little weekend get away to capture some of the sights during our trip.  Enjoy! :)
