a few things on friday 6.10.16


1. Summer is in full swing around these parts. Last weekend the boys put up a lemonade stand and this week we spent lots of time swimming in our little pool. I have a feeling this summer is going to be a good one.
2. Speaking of summer, yesterday I shared a free color-able Summer Bucket List. Print and color and enjoy your sunny days.
3. A couple of weeks ago I was on a podcast! If you want to hear my very southern accent you can listen to my interview with Annie and Chris on From the Front Porch. Annie is the owner of The Bookshelf in Thomasville, Georgia. It's the cutest bookstore and they now carry Pen & Paint!

4. In May I had the honor of having my work represented for the second year at Surtex by Jewel Branding. Pen & Paint now has artwork on rugs, bedding, party napkins, coloring books, throw pillows, wall art & canvases, greeting cards, note card sets, art pots, and so much more!
5. Also in May I celebrated my 7th year on Etsy. Seven years y'all. The first three years were filled with hand-painted canvases of Paint Me A Picture and enjoying a handmade hobby. The last four years have been filled with so much hard work, so much learning, and so much drawing! Pen & Paint has evolved into our family business, and I'm so grateful to be on this journey of creating and sharing my artwork with others.
6. Baby Jane has pretty much taken over the Pen & Paint Studio. She turned one in April, is walking now (send help), and is into everything. Envelopes are her favorite (maybe a future in stationery like her mama?). Jane is definitely the cutest, unhelpful shop assistant around.

7.  is now available in a premium edition. This adult coloring book I created with Paige Tate Coloring is filled with uplifting scripture and now comes with  with thicker paper and 5x7 bonus coloring pages!
8. This summer I have some fun new products planned so be on the lookout. I'll be sure to share on , , and through the Pen & Paint Newsletter
I think that's all for now. Happy Friday!

FREE coloring page - Summer Bucket List


Whether Summer break has already begun for you or you are counting the days for school to be out, I've created a color-able Summer Bucket List to help you kick off the sunny days.
Choose your favorite markers/crayons/colored pencils, write down all the fun plans you have in the blank bucket, and create a colorful list for summer break.


Some things on our Summer Bucket List are:
-make homemade ice cream
-grow our own watermelon (it's growing and about the size of a softball)
-hike to see a waterfall (done, we went to Amicolala Falls)
-stick our toes in the sand and swim in the Gulf of Mexico
-have a water balloon fight
-can tomatoes from our garden (we've already done a small batch)
-make a chalk art mural
What do you have on your Summer Bucket List?
You can print/download your FREE color-able Summer Bucket List . Be sure to share with . I look forward to seeing what you have planned this Summer! Also, if you're a subscriber to the Pen & Paint newsletter be on the lookout for an email tomorrow with another fun free coloring page... there might be Popsicles ;)
