ORANGE INSPIRATION BOARD

ORANGE INSPIRATION BOARD

Orange is a VERY HOT wedding color right now.

I feel like this is total deja vu! Seriously, orange is crazy popular now. Perfect for Spring, Summer and Fall weddings.

Orange is super versatile. Pair orange with...
PURPLE, SPRING GREEN, LIME GREEN, BURGUNDY, AQUA, TURQUOISE, SKY BLUE, CHOCOLATE BROWN, GOLD, SILVER, PEWTER, LILAC, WATERMELON and FUCHSIA/HOT PINK. ... Okay, so you see my point.

Orange is vibrant, fun and FRESH!

Perfect for fall, tropical, beach, summer, spring weddings and elegant party celebrations!!

STAR-WORTHY INVITATIONS

WOW. If you ONLY knew the very famous fantastic individuals who received this invitation in their mailbox! That is why I say "star-worthy". We are honored that the lovely bride and groom felt our starfish invitation was PERFECT for their Bahama wedding!

We, not once, told anyone of the location or breathed a word of the wedding date to ANYONE. A privacy contract was never offered to us or signed. We take our job very serious here at My Personal Artist and believe YOUR privacy is that of utmost importance!!

The last minute stationery pieces (cocktail party invites, change of location cards, dinner rehearsal invites, table cards, place cards, wedding programs) boasting Michelle Mospens original artwork (tropical gazebo, coconut palm trees, sandcastle, and bermuda moongate) flew on a private jet with the cake to the glamorous wedding!!

What a joy and what great fun this HUGE project was. The bride, you know who you are! It was a GREAT pleasure working with you!!! You said I was your "woman" from now when you had a party you were CALLING ME! I'll be here. :-)

BLIZZARD :: 3.08.08

BRRRRR... That is not my car and that is not me or my family member blowing away the snow (that poor soul).
However, at 8:10PM EST the snow was 17-1/2" deep here in Ohio! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....

They have closed ALL roads in our town. The police vehicles are wearing chains on their wheels!

We have major cabin fever. Well, they say March comes in like a LION and leaves like a lamb. I can't wait to see that LAMB. Below are a some "wishing it were spring" poems...



The March wind roars
Like a lion in the sky,
And makes us shiver
As he passes by.

When winds are soft,
And the days are warm and clear,
Just like a gentle lamb,
Then spring is here.

Only with winter-patience can we bring; The deep-desired, long-awaited spring.
-- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth,
for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the
fire: it is the time for home.
- Dame Edith Sitwell

What's good about March? Well, for one thing, it keeps February and April apart.
- Walt Kelly

Winter is an etching, Spring a watercolor, Summer an oil painting, Autumn a mosaic of them all.

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"

NEW PAINTING ~ divi tree

Now that was fun.

I painted this divi tree for Alicia's custom wedding invitations.
It will now be available in our Signature and Printable Collections.

Painting such tropical scenes is REFRESHING to my soul during these cold winter months.
Friday was a "snow" day. However, I am calling it an "ice" day. They closed the schools because of freezing rain and the ice thereafter. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Today, Saturday, I painted a green orchid. I will post as soon as I can.

Next on the drawing board, orange calla lilies.

Beach Theme Cake with Flip Flops!

In the post below I wrote CAKE. I had to add this quick to my blog...

Cute Quote...

Today, we were working on Michelle H.'s wedding invitation proof.
She has the cutest quote on her invite:

If you live to be a hundred,
I want to be a hundred minus one day so
I would never have to live without you.
-Winnie the Pooh


Isn't that as sweet as honey?

Brings back wonderful memories of when my son was wee little! I painted winnie the pooh on his walls. :-)

I just HAD to share!
