THE WINNING NAME IS.....


Favola Bella Shoes 
This means Lovely Fable Shoes
 in Italian!

So The winner is
Anna Lynda!


It was not an easy choice you all gave some very great idea's!
some were:
Dream Walkers
Colorful Kicks
Sweet Feet
and many more...

All of you that placed a name will be getting a small gift from me!
(please give me some time for this)
Thanks so much for every ones help!
That was a lot of fun and we will have to do more soon!

Anna Lynda's shoes will be the first pair shown and written about in the new blog!
The name will be used on my new business cards, flyer's, and maybe even a Etsy store when time allows.
The new blog will be a great way to hear all the stories, fables, and fairy tales of each person who takes this adventure into a hand painted pair of shoes!

I hope the people who have already got pairs will allow me to present their stories, idea's, and my story on how they became the end result. Any shoes that are gifts will have to be posted after the gift has been given in order to not mess any moments up!
I can't wait to share my new love with all of you!

what's new!

Ahh the newness!!!
Feel the storm of creation? Can you feel it?!?!
okay sorry that is a little over the top.
The EXCITEMENT is astounding...well for me at least.

Starting some new kids paintings of characters I have just thought up randomly.
So far I have 6 idea's!

3 are done... and there are many more on the way. These will be sold as prints on my Etsy shop!
I just hope these are a popular item. I want them to be something kids are really happy to see. My little one Loves her Hippo!
New shoes?!?!
Oh yeah that too!'
These just might be my favorite ones yet! But I also have a new order for a little boys shoes that are going to be super fun to do. Trains!!! primary colors with numbers! Grass, sky, and sunshine!!!

Wanna see the others I have done just click here:
If you have a order for a pair you would like to talk about just feel free to e-mail me!

Another really cool adventure I have taken on is hearing Bryan's (my soon to be husband) idea's and thoughts on paintings. He has some really good clear idea's that I love!
So for the first time we painted together...it's not easy to let someone else paint on your paintings but at the same time it was nice and had a feeling of freedom for the piece.
This is what it looks like so far.
(still not done)

Were hoping to make more of these large paintings!
They will have sides painted black to match and a clear coat on them to finish and protect them.
These will be sold in my Etsy store as well!


Well that's all for now...more to come as time gives me a break here and there and Lily naps!
Thanks for all the support!
I hope to post again soon.
