A contest dedicated for you!



Hello friends! Ever wanted to have a picture dedicated or named after you? Well now is your chance! 

Send me your comments below of a picture you would like to see and I will randomly select a winner, draw it up and put in my shop and name it after you! The winner will get a free print of the finished product. If you want to send me a sketch of what you would like you are more than welcome to at abbeyroo68@gmail.com. But you will have to put a comment below that you sent an email in order for your entry to count. 

A winner will be chosen on May 13th! (Oooh creepy! Friday the 13th!) So make sure you get your entries in by then!

I'm very excited to see what you guys are going to come up with! :) When the winner has been chosen, please allow a week to a week and a half for the piece to be completed. When the winner is chosen I will need you to send me your information so I can mail you your piece! :D

Just remember. You don't have to be this big fancy artist. Or think that you aren't creative. You are. This is about YOU. It doesn't have to match the other stuff in my shop. This is your time to shine. :)

Good luck friends! Can't wait to see what you come up with!! :)

Painting time for me!

Well I FINALLY was able to do some painting today. I confess that I only finished one painting, but it's better than none right? I'll be doing the official posting on my shop next week, but want to give a sneak peak tonight on what I've been working on.....



Of course this isn't the finished product, but you'll have to wait till next week to see it. :) It looks pretty much the same, but with more detail. And I may add a little but more to it because I'm always wanting to fix or add to my stuff. But I still love it. I love Alice in Wonderland and has always been one of my favorite classics growing up. I really wanted to do something inspired by it and thought this would be so much fun to do.

I also have some kitty cats and a little fawn coming in the future as well and can't wait to show you! I'm also going to be coordinating with Ginger Melon to be doing artwork based on her cute little woodland animals. She does such a great job on them and I thought they would be adorable as art! So keep an eye out because I'll be posting some of those very soon. I can't wait! :) Please check out her shop and her blog.

I hope you all are having a very lovely evening. I'm sad that this weekend went by so fast. I don't like that it flies so fast when you are having such a good time. :(

I'll keep you guys updated and let you know when the giveaway at Miss Indie's shop starts! There are going to be some fun things given away so I hope you enter! And probably within this next week I'll start the contest for you guys on submitting what artwork you want to see in the shop!

Well it's time to get my geek on and watch me some Batman. I love me some Christian Bale. ;)

I love relaxing Sundays........

I love Sundays. This is my time that I get to sincerely relax and get to do things that are calming. Today I gave manicures to myself and Rylie. And I just love her cute little hands and how they turned out.


 Such cute little hands!!
She is incredibly happy that she got little butterflies on her nails. She LOVES butterflies so this was obviously a no brainer.

And she LOVES her picture taken!


After I did hers I put some fun flowers on mine:


sooooo pretty...
soooo pretty!

I guess the excitement was too much for her because she is now fast asleep on the love sac. Didn't realize that I was such a party animal. ;)



So a fabulous friend of mine did a interview on my shop! You can check it out here!
If you want to find out a hidden talent of mine you will only find it on there. ;)

And check back here soon for a chance to enter into the contest dedicated to you!

Now it's time for me to do some painting. I have 3 pictures I already have sketched out calling my name. And I have out it off too long.... eeep! :D

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!

Time for a change!

Hello loves!


I love change. Especially when it's something like, clothing. make up, hair, design....(Yes, I am pretty girly.) But the change I did this weekend was my hair!






It's actually auburn, but hard to tell because of the lighting. I have to say, it was SO nice to change! I LOVE auburn hair. And my hair feels so much healthier when it's darker versus being blond. And I feel like it fits my personality more. (That's my little one peeping in the background. It was snowing bad and he was enjoying seeing all the flakes.)


Here is another view of my hair so you can get and idea of the color...




Love it!!!




So just to let you guys know, Abbey Roo is going to be participating in a giveaway with Miss Indie! It will be happening here very soon and I'll share the link for entering! There will be other sponsors as well so you will have a chance to win some fun things!


I also have a contest that I'll be posting on here as well. I feel that it will fun to have something dedicated to YOU! I'll let you know when the contest will start, but to give you a heads up, here is what you can expect!


♥   Send me either a quick little sketch OR send me an idea on a piece of custom artwork you would like to see.
♥   I will sketch up the artwork and name it after YOU!


♥   I will choose one winner randomly and the winner will get a free print of the piece!


♥   Then I will sell the piece at my shop with the dedication to you!


Details of the official date will be coming up here soon so keep your eyes peeled! And soon I'll be posting 3 paintings that I'll be selling as well. They are very cute and I can't wait to share!




Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
