Its Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas....

2009-12-03T16:57:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone! It has been forever since I last posted, I have been recovering from surgery and did not bounce back as quickly as I had anticipated! I am feeling much better now and am looking forward to getting back in the swing of things again.

Christmastime in HUGE in my family, and no mere surgery was going to keep me from getting my house ready for the holidays. Here a few pictures of my home, I have a total of 7, yes 7, fully decorated trees, along with the mantel, staircase, the bathrooms and numerous vignettes throughout the house. Regular camera pictures never due Christmas trees justice, but I hope you can get an idea...

Welcome the the Herman's for Christmas!

The master bath...don't you just love those skates?
When my girls were tiny, I started the tradition of adding a tree every year. Now that they are grown, they have continued the tradition and I couldn't be prouder! Rachel has a total of 8 trees, Tara has gotten up to 4 trees this year and Nicole, a new grad and on her own with her first place has 3! The women in this family believe that everyday is a cause for celebration, I am not so sure how my son-in-laws feel about my legacy....!!

Have a happy and blessed day!

Fall Decor

2009-10-06T16:17:00.004-05:00

Hey everyone! I have not gone missing, just taking some time to catch up on orders and spend some time with my newest granddaughter. I LOVE the change in seasons and Fall is my favorite! I have been getting out the fall decor and below are a couple of things I created to go with my latest purchases...

I love the metallics this year, the copper and bronze are so elegant!

This plaque says

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.

His Love endures forever

Psalms 136:1

I hope wherever you are, the beauty and the glory of God's earth is delighting you with the colors and smells of the season!

Every Kitchen...

Random Fun and Pretty Things

2009-08-16T17:53:00.005-05:00

Can you believe summer is almost over? It has been a BUSY one around here! Below are just a few of the different things I have made for the most amazing shoppers anywhere!

I want to thank EVERYONE for your wonderful response to my little business! Your sweet comments mean so much to me and I appreciate you all so much!

It is a big week around here for us, our third grandchild will be born this Friday and we can't WAIT! For you that know my daughter Rachel, you know that it has been a bumpy road to get this little miss Bree Leighton here safe and sound. We thank God so much for blessing us with her, we raise her up to honor Him and love Jesus. Life is good!!!

I Love it, but where do I put it?

2009-08-04T13:45:00.009-05:00

If you are like me, you see lots of things that you love, but don't have a clear idea of what in the world you would do with them when you get them home! I have a very strong personal policy that if I like it enough, there IS a place for it somewhere, drives my hubs crazy! It has been requested by some of you for me to show some of my decorating tips, so I decided to try something different. On occasion, I am going to show you all what I do with some of the things I offer and maybe give you some ideas too!

This is our upstairs bathroom, it belongs to our 11 year old son. The walls are painted a robins egg blue with a metallic silver glaze. Yes, that is a mirror-on-mirror that you see! When we built the house, I hated the standard builder grade mirrors in the bathrooms and unfortunately, they are hung with some sort of adhesive that will probably survive armageddon! So, I did the next best thing and hung a mirror right over the existing one! Pretty clever, huh? I would LOVE to take the credit for this ingenious idea, but I saw it in a magazine a long, long time ago! Love, love, love the look!

You have seen these before, I made this tray for him to keep all his "toiletries" on, he is wearing cologne now, isn't that cute?!

Customized trays $30.00

I am ALL about DIY projects, if I can't find what I am looking for, I will make it myself! I made this shower curtain when I couldn't find one masculine enough for this bathroom, it was really easy. Hint: Hang your shower curtain right below the ceiling line, it looses some of that standard shower look and is much more dramatic!
This canvas has the verse "Sons are a heritage from the Lord" Psalms 127:3

Customized canvas $25.00

Funny story, when Jace saw this, he asked me, "Mom, why are guns a heritage to the Lord?"! What's wrong son, having a hard time reading that fancy Old World script?!!

I hope you picked up a few helpful hints and some new ideas. I definitely enjoyed having you, have a blessed day and come back soon!

Finance 101

2009-07-28T22:15:00.004-05:00

"I Am Just Gonna Get It Myself! Fund"

"Barbie's Dreamhouse Fund"

"Eukelele Lessons Fund"

"Stamp Out Mean People Fund"

"I Promise to Get Therapy for my Monogram Addiction Fund"

Hope I made you giggle, even if just a little bit!

Have a great day!

Happy Everything!

2009-07-21T17:19:00.003-05:00

Happy "Its a Tuesday and the baby slept for two straight hours, I got to put on actual big girl makeup, and it may be out of a box, but here is your dinner, honey!"

Happy "Mama is exhausted after working all day so here is your chicken mcnuggets, served with love and affection!"

Happy "Here is your fancy gourmet dinner, made with my own two hands because you are the most wonderful, handsome, understanding husband in the world, and by the way, I wrecked the car this afternoon!"

Happy "Jesus loves me, faults and all, and forgives me even though I swore at the top of my lungs when I stubbed my toe on the sofa this morning, I am pretty sure it is broken, you know!"

Happy "Here is your special anniversary dinner darling, even though I know you forgot this very special day, I didn't and never will and I shall be the bigger person and not hold it against you, again...sigh...!"

Happy "I am more than I deserved blessed and I will be thankful and honor God in everything I do"!

How great is this, you can use it for "everything"!!

The color is not that great in this picture, it is actually apple green with watermelon pink, but as always, you can get it in any color combination you like.

Have a blessed day!

Cupcake, Anyone?

2009-07-13T09:25:00.003-05:00

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes....

2009-07-02T16:00:00.003-05:00

Do you have a little one that has bad dreams? My granddaughter, Claire, has been having this problem, it happens to all little ones at one point or another. I have been trying to think of a way to maybe help her out with it and came up with this solution: decorate her a pretty box where she can keep all her GOOD dreams so that when she has a bad one, she can just take one out of her box and replace that hateful old BAD dream! Her mama is going to help her write down her happy dreams, I can't wait to see what they are, she has an unbelievable imagination!

The quote on the inside says:

"A dream is a wish your heart makes"

Here's to happy sleeping sweet girl!!

P.S. Her brother and soon-to-be baby sister are each getting one too!

Entertain with some Panache!

2009-07-01T15:00:00.001-05:00

Can you see one of these at your next party, backyard barbeque or if you are like us, any excuse for a celebration?

The white/zebra with red accents was a custom order for a very special dance teacher who LOVES zebra and of course I had to bling it out!

The red one was for my daughter's baby shower, yes, those ARE chandeliers!

Be sure to check back with me, I will be making alot of these. I can make them in just about any color you can think of, and the sky's the limit on what accents you might like.

This One's For the Boys...

2009-06-16T19:00:00.003-05:00

I have had several requests for a canvas for the guys to go along with the proverbs canvas I did for the girls, so here is what I can up with:

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.

1 Corinthians 16:13

I have to admit, it was a nice change to do something masculine for a change! It may be hard to tell from the pictures, but it has some nail head detail, along with a cross that I can put and initial on to personalize it a bit.

As always, I can do any customizing you like!

For Some Graduates and Amazing Teachers

2009-05-27T17:07:00.007-05:00

Here are a few things I have been working on here at the Scarlett Boutique...

This is a box I made for my youngest daughter for her Graduation and new apartment. She is decorating black and white, with touches of golden yellow and purple. I love how it turned out!

This canvas and box was made for her roommate.

This hot pink box was made for Claire's Dance Teacher, Ms. Meghan. I had a great time making this box as it fits her personality perfect!

These last few gifts were made for Claire and Owen's SonShine School teachers. The verse reads: Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it, Proverbs 22:6.

Congratulations to all Graduates and be sure to thank your teachers as they do an amazing job!

I KNEW I was born to be Royalty...

2009-05-14T11:00:00.003-05:00

I know I am a princess...

My Father is the King of Kings!

Mothers wear many hats...may all yours be Crowns!!

2009-05-08T18:10:00.008-05:00

It has been a very busy couple of weeks at Scarlett Boutique and I want to thank EVERYONE for the awesome response you have had to my things. I cannot tell you what fun I am having creating all these fun things for you guys! I feel like a little girl opening up a new box of crayons everyday, I love it!

Below are just a few of the items I have made for some wonderful mothers, I hope they all enjoy them!

Here are a couple of items I got to make for two (almost three!) very special customers for their Mama. Claire and Owen love to sit with me while I work on my projects, well, Claire does, Owen just terrorizes the place! I thought it would be nice to put each of their handprints on the back of this canvas for a sweet memory and Claire loved every minute of that. But Owen, not so much. You would have thought I was putting his hand in scalding water or flesh eating acid, not just some ordinary red paint! So much for that idea, we got a perfect little handprint from Claire, from Owen, one fingerprint! Anyway, this is for my daughter, a Mom that wears many hats and wears them as well as any queen should. She is going to put this canvas and matching box in her office.

This is a prayer box, special request for a Mama that LOVES pink!

This prayer box is for a special Step-mother, love the quote she requested! This box is for my Mom, I think it is one of my best yet. Hope she loves it!

Happy Mothers Day everyone!

Such Wisdom in these Words...

2009-04-28T16:34:00.010-05:00

"If the Shoe Fits...Buy it in EVERY Color."

"A woman's waist size may change... but her shoe size stays true!"

" What becomes of the broken-hearted? They buy shoes."

"Is it time to go home yet? I keep clicking these shoes and nothing happens!"

To all you shoe lovers out there, and you know who you are, here is the ultimate quote from the Queen herself......

"One Shoe can Change your Life."- Cinderella

Are you kidding me? Is that not perfect, or what? As a self-admitted shoe addict, I had to have this in my closet to daily justify my many pairs of shoes (what you can't see is the rows and rows of heels that I have proudly displayed on shelves!).

I don't know why I love heels so much, it has always been that way for me. The good Lord made me that way and I wonder if there will be pretty high heeled shoes in heaven? Hmm, that's a thought...

I like to think of it this way:

The higher the heel, the closer to God!

Go put on your most glamorous high heeled shoes, prance around like the queen you are, and have a fabulous day!

God Bless!

How to Organize your Recipes with a little Sass

2009-04-28T16:15:00.007-05:00

Who besides me has recipes stuck in random books, drawers, magazines, and anywhere else you can think of? My solution is these sassy recipe boxes. They can customized to your liking.

Somehow I have acquired a collection of roosters in my kitchen.....not sure how that got started, I despise birds, seriously I have a phobia haha! I guess it has something to do with the French Country design of my home. So here is another rooster for my collection.

This box is a custom order for a HUGE Arkansas Razorback fan. I had a blast making this one, I think I called the Hogs a few times(woooooooooooo PIG SOOIE).

Leave it to Scarlett Boutique to make it easy and sassy to organize your recipes!

Recipe Boxes- $35.00

Are you a "Proverbs" Woman?

2009-04-22T15:45:00.007-05:00

Everyone needs inspiration. Everyone needs something to remind them of their priorities in life, and if it is sparkly, girly, colorful and fun, even better! I created these small canvases for myself and each of my daughters to put somewhere to see everyday so that we can always be reminded to remember what is important. This Proverbs verse is my absolute favorite, and in this image driven world we live in today, it has never been more important for women to stay focused on what is real.

Charm is deceitful, beauty is vain, but a woman that fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

Prov. 31:30

Each canvas plus easel - $25.00

This one is Tara's, she loves the vibrant peacock colors. She is going to keep hers on her desk at work.

This one is for Nicole, her room is black, red and white. I used chandelier crystals on hers, I love chandeliers, I even have one in my laundry room!

This one is for Rachel, her bathroom is brown and apple green.

This is a picture of where I keep mine, right on my vanity in front of the mirror!

Note: It doesn't really have a blue gem on it, that is a reflection of Rachel's blue dress! She took the picture for me!

As always, I can customize these any way you can think of. If you have a quote you love or something special you want to say, let me know, it can be done.

So, the next time I look in the mirror and see that extra pounds I want to lose, more gray hair, and the dreaded wrinkles, I will be reminded that none of that matters. Be inspired and God Bless!!

For a new Fashionista's Room!

2009-04-16T11:00:00.002-05:00

There is a new baby girl whose expected arrival is in a few short weeks that has the sassiest room ever! If you know her mama , Ashley, those two will be a force to reckoned with! I made these accessories for her room and I hope they enjoy them as much as I did making them. Congratulations to the ecstatic parents, I know you have been waiting a long time for this precious moment. Babies are one of the greatest privileges from God, I know you are going to an amazing family!

This is a wooden tray I painted for all her powders, lotions, etc.

Contact me for quotes on cost for these.

When decorating, it is so hard to add height and depth, or display some of the smaller things in a room that you want to be seen. So, I found that pedestals can do the trick and look so chic at the same time. I custom paint them to go with the decor of the room or area I am putting them in.

This pedestal and crown can be used to hold all of those little finger nail clippers, pacifiers, etc., and look so sassy while still being functional.

Contact me for cost, these vary because of size and availability.

Gotta have the monogram, this is the south, we monogram everything!!

Cost for custom frame, $25.00

God bless you, Chad, Ashley and Avery!!!

Special Order For Mrs. Jimmy Choo!

2009-04-13T15:40:00.002-05:00

My daughter Tara, as many of you may know, is crazy about her Sadie Jane. She wanted a personalized leash holder to hang on the wall (notice the monogram, yes its for Sadie Jane Gibson). I customized a framed quote that sums it up perfectly-"My Dog Lets me Live Here". I also personalized a box for Tara and her newlywed husband to put their bills in, "What part of the Fairy Tale says you have to pay bills?"

All items were decorated in black, white and yellow to match Tara's Kitchen.

The hook would also be great for keys, towels, robes, umbrellas, etc

All these items can be customized in any color, embellishments, quotes, you name it!

Personalized Framed Quote- $25.00

Personalized Hook- $15.00

Personalized Large Box- $25.00

Did you see the Easter Bunny?

2009-04-08T17:12:00.002-05:00

Need a great idea for all the wonderful teachers in your children's lives? Look at these too cute boxes I made for my grandchildren, Claire and Owen's Sonshine School teachers for Easter! These can be made for any occasion, custom made to your preference. Claire and Owen filled these with candy! I personally think my models add the sparkle to my work! The Easter Bunny would be proud...

These cute boxes are $18.00

Prayer Request Boxes

2009-04-07T20:22:00.003-05:00

Welcome and thank you for checking out my new Boutique!

Inspiration for these glamorous boxes? My weekly Ladies Bible Study Group! We have been studying the book of Esther and it is all about Kings, Queens, jewels and crowns. Each week we exchange prayer requests on small pieces of paper and I found myself sticking them everywhere from my Bible to my purse, even my pockets. Solution - Fabulous 4X5X1 boxes that are custom to your taste! There is an inspirational quote inside that can also be customized. These would also make great jewelry boxes or any office storage, even Baby and Wedding Remembrance, i.e. First Lock of Hair, etc.

I made each and every special soul in my group a box to commemorate our time together studying Esther and sharing what it's like being a strong, Christian woman! Thank you for sharing the journey!

Price - $15.00 per box, remember if you don't see what you are specifically looking for or want to change the color, inside quote or verse, down to the last detail - please let me know! I can make anything to your taste!!
