I mentioned before that I have an amazing team who helps me with Aimee Weaver Designs. They are all talented ladies, and I truly could not have grown my business without their help. They encourage me when I feel overwhelmed and are always willing to go the extra mile. We are so blessed to have them […]

I’m joining The Pleated Poppy this morning for “What I Wore Wednesday”. These are a few outfits I’ve been wearing lately. Did I ever tell you that my 8 year old is my photographer? That’s how professional I am, people. Be amazed. blazer, shirt, jeans: target clearance  /  shoes: goodwill  / scarf: old navy sweater: […]

Happy Friday! I added a few new signs in the shop for 2015! And like most new signs, they are my current favorites. The “Love is the only true adventure” sign is available here. I grew up with the water and the ocean being a big part of my life, and the sign below is one […]

I’m all about hanging personalized artwork in my house. I needed something for this corner of the family room, so I decided to take a page from my grandmother’s diary and enlarge it. I got it printed as an engineering print through Staples, and hung it in a frame from Ikea. I didn’t get to […]

We got the best news we could have hoped for just before Christmas! We got matched with a sweet little boy living in an orphanage in China! It was probably the most exciting phone call I’ve ever gotten! And such a surreal experience to open our email and find pictures of him. We received very […]

I’m an introverted girl, so I have a hard time volunteering information about my business and family life, but if you ask me a question, I can talk your ear off. Especially about my business, because I’m so passionate about it. I received some questions in my previous post, so here are answers, as well […]

Happy 2015 friends! I thought it might be fun to do a little “year in review” for my business this week. We are so thankful for an amazing year!! It hasn’t been easy or without a huge amount of work, but it has been so worth it! The studio is in a lot of ways […]

I wanted to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas season! THANK YOU for reading, encouraging me, and keeping up with this little blog that I started seven years ago.  December has been filled to the brim with orders from the shop, family parties, Christmas shopping, and of course decorating. Every year I think that […]

I just had to hop on here in the midst of my Christmas shipping frenzy and show you some new jewelry that my friend Wanda just put in her shop! I designed some of the watercolor images that she used in her new bracelets. And I LOVE all of her necklaces. They are awesome for layering […]

This morning I’m linking up with The Pleated Poppy’s “What I Wore” party and here’s what I’ve been wearing the past few weeks (besides my painting apron and work clothes which I practically have been living in)… Plaid tunic/dress: Goodwill  /  Jeggings: Walmart  /  Boots: Plato’s closet consignment Top: Goodwill (Loft)  /  Jacket: Marshall’s  / […]

The snow is falling outside my window, Thanksgiving is just around the corner (tomorrow!), and my studio is warm and cozy. It doesn’t get much better. I have some shop news today! Because of the volume of orders we’ve been receiving for our signs, I am now fully booked for Christmas, and the earliest I […]

When I re-painted the stairway a few weeks ago, I decided to take down the artwork in our family room and freshen it up a bit. You would not BELIEVE the number of nail holes in my walls. I mean, it’s a little bit ridiculous. But it’s nothing that a little quick-drying spackling and some […]
