Whatever Souls Are Made of... and some Chalk Art News

Just a little chalkboard I did with Valentine's Day in mind. We are getting excited because it looks like in the VERY near future we will be selling prints and downloads of our chalkboard art. In fact, we may have our first download one available tomorrow or Friday! This first one will be not be my handwriting but we have those in the works and may have them available as soon as late next week! Those ones we will be selling as prints and we are just waiting on the high end paper to arrive and making sure we get the prints just right. Once we do we will be listing them. We have one ready to go as soon as the paper arrives and several more in the works!  And then hopefully later this year we will be selling some actual chalkboards, but that will probably still be a little ways off. 

The girls and I did some Valentine's decorating the last two days and I took a bunch of photos so once I get them onto my computer and start editing them I will have a few Valentine's related posts over the next week! For now, though, here is a little corner where we didn't do any decorating but I did write the quote with Valentine's in mind:



Here's my Valentine with one of my little Valentine's =)

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

  11. Looking forward to the chalkboard downloads - wonderful! I'd love more pillow art. I have a special spot on my living room couch that I have placed one of your Thanksgiving and Christmas pillow covers. Keep them coming...I'd love more for all seasons.

    1. Thanks Abbey! I generally write it all in the thin line first and then go back and thicken parts of each letter wherever I think it will work best and often I just kind of mix it up as I go.

    1. Haha - you are right! I was going to respond and say that I know it's an Emily quote because it's been one of my favorites for years, ever since I read Wuthering Heights. In fact Jon and I used it in our wedding programs. But then looked at the post and sure enough I have a C - ugh! That's what happens when you write your chalkboards at 3am! Good catch! I will have to fix it before we try to sell this print! Thank you!

    2. I hesitated to say anything because I LOVE your chalkboards and didn't want you to think I was being critical! I'm with you on the quote, too. One of the best ever. Wuthering Heights has been one of my very favorite books forever. Keep up the pretty work :)

    3. Oh please don't every hesitate to let me know if you see something like that. I would MUCH rather know about it! And it was perfect timing too because I was able to switch it to an "e" before it got sent off to the printers!
