Super Cute Barrettes!

Our friend An has started a crafty business of her own, making and selling adorable hair barrettes. They come in tons of different designs and colors, and would make a perfect gift for a little cutie. Go check out her site, Yellow and Pink. If the new baby is a girl, I'm going to for sure be getting her some of these, so she can be stylish right from birth :) If not, I might have to just get some for myself!

This is my favorite set so far, called "Little Miss Valentine"

One of An's very cute barrette models who has just enough hair to necessitate a hair clip. I love it! My mom used to tape bows onto my head when I was little, so this looks like a better and less painful idea!

Craft Fair Pics (a little late)

My camera was lost in my messy apartment for the last week, but I finally found it. Yay! So here are some better-late-than-never pictures of the Music Saves Lives arts & crafts fair. It was a lot of fun, especially when Jennie, Jess, and I were lucky ducks at the raffle and we each won 2-3 prizes :) A big thank you to JP for being the best helper all day long, and another thank you to Daron from Minds2Design for making my banner.

More Arts and Crafts Fair News!

Here is the flier for the Craft Fair I'm going to be participating in on March 14th. Mark your calendars and tell your friends :)

Music Saves Lives Arts & Crafts Fair

It's time to mark your calendar because I'm going to be exhibiting at a great event coming up on March14th! It's a fundraiser for a non-profit organization called Music Saves Lives and it is being held at Tustin Presbyterian Church from 10am to 4pm. I'm working really hard so I'll have a bunch of new paintings, cards, and other fun stuff to show off.
Here are 2 really bad quality photos of a couple watercolors I was working on a couple nights ago. I haven't worked with watercolor in a long time so I thought I'd try something new!

New Painting :)

Hi Guys!
I just put a new painting in the shop. It's a little portrait of a girl with a tear from my sketchbook. I got the idea from an old painting John-Paul used to have of a crying girl, but his was more creepy and this ones more cutesy. I liked painting the wooden frame part, and I think this might be the first in a little portrait series...we'll see.

You are a rock star

Here is the latest Valentine design I finished last night that is going to be in the kristencraft shop. I was trying to do something more boyish than the other designs. Hope you like it!
