Well, in honor of my only & last day off for quite a while….we spent the day with my extended family who came in from out of town! We had such a blast…I have the most fantastic family ever!!!!! We are the kind of family that gets together whenever we possibly can…because we have such a blast together and just enjoy each other soo much!! It’s such a great thing to just adore your family and to soo enjoy being with them!! We also take family trips together and have the MOST fun!! It’s SUCH a blast. They are all from the south, North Carolina & Florida…so that’s why we value our time together soo much!! My two aunts & uncle were here….we missed my other aunt & uncle…& cousins, though! (HOLLA robin, adam, ashley, dave & barbara!!!….love you guys!!) Anyway…it was such a fun sunday and soo relaxing & great!! We looked at old pictures…laughed our butts off…had pizza & margaritas, hung out by the lake & ended the night with at great bonfire!! Mmmm….I love Sundays! We’ll miss you, Mary, Jane & Chuck! Can’t wait till next time!!!

Mmmmm….a yummy bonfire a brisk evening….who doesn’t love THAT!

Attention clients…..I have a super cool product to show you! They are print canvases…which I know is nothing new..
but they are SOO cool! I have used these for my own personal art for a long time…and I use them to show my work in wedding shops, etc….but I’ve never thought about doing these for clients until a friend of mine asked if I could have them done for her, of her wedding images…for her own personal art! Of course, I was like…oh yea..you will totally love them, they are SOO cool! Then, my husband asked why I don’t show these to clients ever…because they would love them if I did! SOO, I was like DUHH….I should show these to clients and offer them so that client’s can have super cool wall art TOO! The best part is that they are raw wrapped canvas with no frame…and they are 100% ready to hang! Also, the ones shown are 1-1/8 thick canvases, but they also offer 2-1/2 crazy cool thick canvases, so the canvas literally sits 2-1/2 inches off of the wall! Yea, we LOVE that!! Also, in my personal opinon, they are really affordable…especially considering that they are totally custom, totally cool wall art for your home…and they are ready to frame when they arrive! For example, a 16×20 is $200, 16×24 is $235, 20×24 is $275, 24×30 is $330 and 30×40 is $400! You can also do panoramic sizes…and squares…which are my two personal favorites! I think those prices are awesome…considering what you would pay to have any other kind of custom wall art done in those sizes!! So, just had to show you! If you would like more info…just email me, jessica@jessicastrickland.com! (the canvases shown are 16×24)
