Thank you to pfdoriginalartworks for including my Snow Bird print with this beautiful snowy group of handmade creations. Be sure to click on the link and leave a comment if you are so inclined. :)

Lucky 13

Today is Friday the 13th and it's your lucky day! Wait...What? That's not the way it works!? Well it does today my fookaFRIENDS 'cause today only you can receive 13% off your entire purchase when you order $13 or more (are you noticing a theme here?) from the fookaSHOP. Simply put "lucky 13" in your customer notes at the time of purchase and wait for your adjusted total before checking out at paypal. Hurry...before your luck runs out!

p.s. if there is a fooka item that you've had your eye on but it's not listed in the shop just let me know and I'll add it!

Bedtime Stories

My sister, mom and I threw a baby shower for my brother's wife, and I must say we are some great party planners. My sis came up with the great Bedtime Stories theme and we just had so much fun with it. We started with the cute bedtime themed invites you may remember from an earlier post.

We set up baby books within all the decorations to add to the bedtime theme.

The color scheme came from the colors in the baby bedding, which we had all set up in the crib to hold all the gifts (which was overflowing for the baby and soon to be mom).

Of course we had to have a cute matching banner.

And what would be better to serve at a bedtime themed baby shower than cookies and milk?

Yummy frosted sugar cookies.

And delicious chocolate sandwich cookies.

Served with regular, chocolate and strawberry milk...mmmmm!

We placed trays of cookies out on these adorable pillows that my talented mom made!

At the end everyone left with a Sweet Dreams goody bag stuffed with a moon and star cookie! This was such a fun shower, I think everyone enjoyed it I know I had a blast planning and setting up! Is anyone in need of a professional party planner? :)

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween everyone! Today there is a special TREAT for everyone in the fookaSHOP......Now available are large format prints!

One of my October goals was to add some large format prints into the shop and there's nothing like waiting until the last possible minute! It's still October (barely)! Anyways, there are a couple available so far....hopefully more soon.

Have a safe, and spooky happy Halloween!

Bedtime Baby Shower

Just thought I would sneak on for a bit to show everyone my latest invitation design. This invite is for a baby shower with a bedtime theme. I just love the cute little owl family....it looks like the "new parents" could use a little (or a lot of) sleep! LOL! speaking of....I think I'm gonna go catch some z's myself. good night fookaFRIENDS!

Great Day for an Art Fair

The Aaron Douglas Art Fair was a great success. The weather was perfect and the crowd was wonderful. Thank you so much to all my fookaFRIENDS who made it out to see me this year! It was so nice to see your friendly faces and so awesome to meet new friends! I couldn't have asked for a better show. For those of you who weren't able to make it, here are some shots of the event.





One of the best parts about this show is that I get to share booth space with two wonderful artists....my little sister (from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program) and her grandmother. Here is a pic of me and my sis after we set up our show. She is such a talented artist and does amazing watercolor paintings. I'm so impressed by her work and so proud of her!

Happy Fall Y'all!

It's officially the first day of Fall. Yay....a new season! While I'm a bit sad to see Summer go...so long snow cones, I am happy to see Fall here....hello hot coco! With the change in seasons I thought it would only be appropriate to change my avatars here on my blog, on my etsy shop and on my facebook fan page. :) And here is a print to get you ready for the change in seasons.


I have to say I love all the seasons! But with the cooler weather, football games, the changing leaves and snugly sweaters...Fall is looking inviting! Which season is your favorite?

I'm in!

Yay! I just received word late last night that fookaDESIGNS will be showing at the Aaron Douglas Art Fair next Saturday the 26th! Due to a mis-communication I'm finding out kind of late but I'm still super excited. I hope it's not too late of notice for you...I would love for any of you that are in the Topeka area to make it out to the fair and see me. The event is from 11-5 featuring all kinds of local artists with live music and yummy food. Best of all, it's FREE! It will be a great time. Hope to see you there!
