Could it be Easter already? I don't think so but it is in my house! Here are some samples I received from Fred Meyer just before Christmas. I forgot all about them and what a nice surprise to get 3 big boxes full of latte cups, coffee mugs, egg holders, dessert plates and dinner plates and fun condiment holders. Also lots of nice fun linens too.
Here is a photo of some of the cute easter egg bowls and egg holders!
I also love the little plates, there were small egg shaped plates as well but I just could not photograph everything. I always love to see how they interpert my design into 3-d. Sometimes I actually give clients drawings of how the products should look but in this case, I just send in the design and they do the rest. I find that good and bad because it takes the pressure and workload of me but at the same time I am not always pleased with the result. I have a few companies that come up with amazing products from my designs and I always let them run with it since they have a feel of what they are looking for.
Here is a look at the original painting I did which in turn they made products from.
You can see that they used the bunny in the basket and the chick and flowers for the linen towels. Then they made bowls and plates that look just like the eggs. the plain colored dinner dishes are from the color palate of the design, and the mini square plates have the egg designs in the middle.
The best thing for me is always seeing my name on the products. They do a great job with placing my name so people can read it. Sometimes I get products where my name is so small you could hardly read it and I am sure no one even notices it which is sad for me.
So in this freezing cold weather I thought I would cheer you up with some Spring fun! I cannot believe how cold it is outside, I thought my hands would freeze when I went to the gym this morning! I was feeling all those goodies I ate as my trainer worked with me. It's back to salads and soup for me, no more truffles and all that good stuff.
I was thinking about resolutions yesterday and here are a few of mine!
1. Get those pounds off for good!
2. Finally get a children's book deal.
3. Learn to snowboard! I tried last year but did not do it enough to get it.
4. Work more and play more!
5. Fix my website, it needs it bad.
6. Redo my studio, it needs it way bad!!
7.Take off the month of August to be with the kids! ( this will definitely happen since my boys cannot go to camp that month so its the beach for me!!)
8. Lastly use up those spa gift certificates I got a year ago!!
What are your resolutions? and do you think you can do them? I hope I can get mine all done.
Okay it's back to work, I have to prepare for Atlanta next week!!
