New Improved Frames!

These two frames are not only handmade by yours truly, but are also a new line of frames that are of a much higher quality than the previous frames I've made. I've searched for a great vendor for some time & finally found a good, sturdy, quality solid wood frame WITH GLASS and an easel back that I can now offer to you!

Both of the frames below have a 4x6 photo opening and are embellished with acrylic paint, ribbon and/or feathers. They are both available for sale now at Family Matters in downtown Rogers. If you'd like to purchase one but don't live locally, I'd be happy to add it to my Etsy shop for you to purchase. Thanks for looking & for your continued support!


"Tiffany" frame is aqua & chocolate brown, now SOLD (4x6 opening)



"Woo Pig Sooie" frame is perfect for back to school at the U of A or for any Razorback fan! $28 (4x6 opening)

Initial Blocks

I made these custom blocks to match a crib set for a new little boy. The letters on the sides include his initials, ABC, 123, & BOY.
I hear they will be used at the baby shower and then as room decoration.
(They are for decorative use only, as they are made from Styrofoam.)
$12 for a set of 3





I made the blocks in the pictures below for my best friend's baby shower.
