More Easter 2010!




Love these lambs!

Caleb's mom sent me pictures of these cute bunnies for me to match up for his bucket! I love that so many people wanted bright colors this year for Easter!
Avery Kate's mom sent me ideas of what she wanted and this is what we came up with in the end! I have to say there were lots of Easter buckets with zebra print on them this year! I really love this pink and brown zebra.


This was a popular design this year and I did it in a couple of different color schemes. He it is in primary colors!
This was truly my most popular design this year!
This design I have always painted in the in pastels so now here it is in brighter colors. I love the turquoise!
This is a medium bucket. This is the first time I have painted the band around the bottom of a bucket this size but I love how it turned out!

The back!





I really loved painted all of the special request that I got this year! This bucket was a lot of fun to paint. Mack's momma sent me an email of what she wanted and asked if I could do it. I told her I would try and see what I could do! I think it turned out super cute! I am not sure how well you can see it but it is a Bunny driving a tractor pulling a trailer full of eggs and then some chicks along the backside!

So here they are the rest of the Easter buckets! I have to say a huge thank you to everyone who ordered and for being so patient with me! I am amazed at how popular they were this year. I started painting Easter buckets two years ago. I put them in a friends photography studio and sold about 30 buckets, all to local people! This year I sold over 100! all I can say is WOW! I am seriously amazed at how my small business has grown. I have shipped buckets all over the United States this year! It is still crazy to me but so much fun and I have loved every minute of painting them! I have received some pictures of some of the little cuties that got buckets this year and I would love to see more of them! So if you get a chance please email me a pic! Also if you missed the deadline I am still painting Easter buckets for some people who still wanted them for next year so feel free to email me with your order! I will be taking orders through the end of April but will be taking the month of May off and will not be accepting any orders during that time. So if you are wanting to order something please get it in soon!

Skiing Bunnies!




These were made for a family that is going snow skiing for Easter!

Sweet Bunnies!


A Duck for Cate!


Bold and Bright Buckets!


I made the these buckets for a brother and his two sisters. Their mom wanted the three of them to coordinate with each other but wanted the two for her girls to be just a little bit funky! So here is what we came up with! I love the brighter colors on all three of them and love the animal print eggs for the girls! So fun!

Easter Designs!

I know that you really can't see this design that well, but this was made for a Lego lovin' little boy! Can you see the lego blocks?


Landon is getting a bunny with some eggs and Jelly Beans!


This is another bucket that I did that is going to go in a nursery after Easter!

This is the most popular design I have done this year! This customer asked for some paisley to be added to her bucket!

Lambs



This another version of the lamb bucket. This customer is going to leave it in her son's nursery after Easter so instead of the eggs I added some polka dots!

More Easter 2010!

Remember Parker's Frog? This customer loved that color scheme and wanted to make it into an Easter bucket but wanted a bunny instead of a frog! Love how it turned out!


This bucket is going to a sweet little girl, Soren Kate (loving all of these unique names this year!) Her dad is a minister so her mom wanted something spiritual on it. So here is what we came up with. On the front a cross and it says, "Jesus rose that Easter morn, and in our hearts new hope is born." On the back is the same cross with that sweet little lamb! It has been so fun creating all of these special requests, more to come!

Easter Designs 2010!

I can not take any credit for these designs because most of these were thought up by my customers. These are just a few new ones, I have more to come! I have alot of special request this year so they have been alot of fun painting!
Aren't these little bunnies hiding everywhere super cute!


This customer wanted something a little more modern looking for her little girl Essie! She wanted hot pink, light pink and zebra with some bunnies. I love making these funky buckets! I can see this in boy colors and taking out the zebra print, also seeing it in more more pastel colors and no zebra print. I think that these bunnies are so cute. The more I look at them the more they look like little bunny eggs to me!



This customer picked out the colors from other buckets from my site. She wanted them to coordinate but not be to matchy-matchy! I love these two buckets and think they would be cute in pastels and would be cute for boys with a less fancy letter in the front!

More sporty eggs!


I am lucky to have some awesome customers that thought up some really cute ideas. So here they are. I do have a few more coming! I plan to post them by the end of the week. And I am trying to respond to email! I promise if you submitted your order before Feb 17Th (which was the deadline) even if we have not talked yet you will have your buckets by Easter! A dear friend is going to help me invoice, pack up and ship out some buckets this week so that I can concentrate on the painting part!!!!

More Trees!


I did these for a Christmas Wedding! They were made to hold the snowflake confetti that everyone was going to throw at the newlyweds as they left the church. The wedding colors were red and lime green and the decorations were fun and whimsical. When I delivered the buckets I took a little peek at the reception and it looked so amazing! After the wedding the mom of the bride was going to give one bucket to the bride and her new hubby and to her son and his wife to use!!

Christmas Orders!!!
















Here are a few buckets that I have been working on! I have had a few people email me to see if I can do something for them but as of right now I can't add anymore orders. If you know me then you know how much I hate having to tell someone no. But I simply can't fit anymore in before the holidays. If you have an order that can wait till after Christmas then please feel free to email me with it and I will get you on my list! After Christmas I will probably take a little time off because I am taking on a big project here and will have to devote a lot of time to it!!! I will share pics when it is complete!!!
And for those of you who have placed orders for Christmas 2009!!! I am painting like a crazy lady and promise that you all will get your orders before Christmas!!!! I am getting all of the out of town orders done first so they can ship out with plenty of time to get there before Christmas. For you hometown ladies, I plan to get you all yours the weekend before Christmas. So please do not think that I have forgotten you. I check my email all the time but sometimes I am terrible about responding when I receive it. Just wanted everyone to know that I am working like crazy to get this all done!!! I will be in touch with all of you soon!
