The growth charts come with frames (thanks to my supportive and talented husband). I can paint the frames to coordinate with the bedroom furniture (eg. white, espresso, black) or it can be painted a color to match the design.

The growth charts start measurement at approx. 2ft and go up to nearly 6ft.

Thanks for your interest and support!

My craft

As a hobby, back in 2007, I began painting accessories for Riley's room that were inspired by items in stores like Pottery Barn Kids, Land of Nod, and Ella Bella (etc). It's taken some time, but my craft has now grown into more of a product. Examples of items that I custom paint include growth charts, picture frames, and stools (as pictured below). I can match bedding or a particular color scheme, or you could choose a generic design in a particular color (ie polka dots, stripes, stars). The cost will vary depending on the detail and time involved in the design.

Ta-da! This was my first sale (and the most involved) growth chart I have painted. It was done to match baby bedding for Brittney Kluse (a gift from her friends, Wendi Samples and Michelle Herrin).

I painted this growth chart as a gift for Myli Michel's first birthday.

This is a growth chart that I painted as a gift for Aubrey Herrin's first birthday to match her pink and chocolate room.

The growth chart on the left is the first one that I ever painted (it is in Riley's room). The one on the right was a gift for a neighbor's little girl.

This is a stool that I painted as a gift for Abbey Samples' first birthday. Her nursery furniture was black and the bedding had a black and red color scheme.

This feels foreign to me....

I've never been the journaling type of person but I want to give this a shot....
We just got back from a long weekend in Cannon Beach. It was our second time taking Riley, she loved it, and our first with Evee (our new doggy). It was like having TWO kids! Riley had so much fun playing in the sand and ocean. Each day she got a little more brave until she was able to go out into the water up to her knees! Evee loved all of the dogs on the beach. She wanted to say Hi to all of them! She, on the other hand, had no interest in getting wet.
Brian and I are celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary on August 2nd. We have gone to the beach around our anniversary almost every year since we've been married.
I'm going to be 30 on the 15th! Holy crap! I DO NOT feel that old...but then again, now that I'm thirty, it feels like a small number. Where has all the time gone?
