New Name Sign!

2010-12-31T16:45:00.003-06:00

I got an order for a pink, green and brown name sign for a new baby girl recently. Customer also wanted frogs, ladybugs, dragon fly's and hearts. I'm not going to lie...I was a little nervous at first, but I think it turned out perfect! I like the shabby chic feel of it and the cute colors and patterns.

8X10 name signs are $20 + $4.95 shipping.
Made to match whatever you would like them to match. ;)

Lotsa Clipboards and some Letter Blocks!

2010-12-17T14:17:00.002-06:00

I have been busy!!! Here are a few recent orders I just finished up! Clipboards are quickly becoming my new favorite item! They are useful and super cute! They can be created to match a teacher's interests, classroom, or school colors! They can also be useful at home for chore charts for little ones! (there is even a little thing behind the clip part that allows for hanging them!)

Clipboards are $15 + $4.95 shipping!

To order, contact me at snicholson@tx.rr.com

The customer above asked for something "teacher-like" for a kindergarten teacher.

This teacher was a Saints fan!!

Another "teacher-like" clipboard! (hey...if you don't know their interests, you can't go wrong with "Teacher-like!" ) lol.

This block order is a little different than others. The three middle initials is the baby's monogram, then the crosses on each side. Customer requested this and said the babies room was pink, brown, and a hint of green. I thought the little green sparkles fit perfectly!

Letter blocks are $4.50 per block + shipping (depending on size of order)

Stay tuned...

contact me at snicholson@tx.rr.com for orders and questions!

This was a first time order for a "last name" name sign to hang either behind a big tv or above a doorway. Customer just said she wanted leopard print and last name only.

These would also be cute with an established date on them or every family members first name.

This specific frame is about 12X36 and would be $40. Can make them smaller though, just email me size and I'll give you a good price!!

Stay tuned for more clipboards and letter blocks!

Just finished a BIG project!! A nice customer ordered frames for all the seniors at her church, so I was BUSY! Just like any other "custom" order, the customer let me know a little about what she wanted on the frames, so here they are! I was able to fit the seniors' school (initials), year of graduation and any interests that the customer told me about! I think they turned out pretty cute!

Frames are only $12 + $4.95 shipping!

Here's the lineup!

It isn't very easy creating a frame for a grown up boy...but I did my best!! (If anything, maybe his mom will cherish it!!)

I was able to fit the high school mascot on this one!

Interest on this one is academics. (that is what the A+ is for!)

Interests on this one is the FFA/shows lambs and she makes jewelry...so I added a little "bling" to the lamb ;)

I hope the seniors like it! If anything...these frames just make me more excited for my own (college) graduation!! I CANNOT WAIT to see that cap and gown!!

2010-04-22T12:35:00.001-05:00

Hey everyone!! It has been crazy busy in the custoMOM household! Within this past week alone I've gotten tons of orders, and I'm LOVING.EVERY.MINUTE of it!! I'm going to try to keep the blog updated as I finish the orders....so here are a couple finished products!
This customer wanted a cowgirl name sign with a cross. I added some "bling" to make it even more girly and princess-like!

Okay...this wasn't really a placed order, but I've wanted to make this frame for at least 3 months now for my nephew, Seth's room, and I finally put it together! Super cute. It matches his lil cowboy themed bedroom and "lets go boys!" is something he says when playing "bullriding" with his dad. Seth's going to be a big brother soon...I can't wait to get a hold of his brother/sister's bedroom!! :)

...another frame for a 5-year old girl...bright, colorful and girly with some extra sparkles!!

Stay tuned for so much more!! I have teacher signs, a name sign and a ton of frames coming up!

2010-04-12T13:22:00.002-05:00

Thought I would share a recent order with everyone. This was for a customer that said that her lil boy loved dinosaurs and the color red! Super duper cute!! Here's hoping that Mr. Kemuel thinks it is too! Of course, boys don't say cute...they say awesome! :)

Lots and lots and lots of stuff coming up!!! Stay tuned!

Normally I do little frames, but customer asked for a hanging wall frame for an 8X10 picture...and I was more than happy to oblige ! :) The customer's little boys room is pottery barn bedding, so I wanted to keep with the theme of soccer for the photo, but I also wanted to match to the theme of the room. The style of the frame is a mix between vintage and...LIL BOY FUN! This frame is only $22 +shipping ($4.95) Not bad!

contact me at snicholson@tx.rr.com to place your order!

My first "SAVE THE DATE" cards! Bride-to-be wanted a french vintage look to the invitations and the colors of her wedding...dark purple with black and silver accents. I gave her these three samples, and she couldn't decide between 2...so she asked for both!

My first Save the Date card happens to have a wedding date which is also my husband's birthday. Pretty neat!

NEW SAMPLES!

Check out the new frame and sign orders that I just finished! Super cute and a great deal! The frames are only $12/each (+$4.95 shipping) and the Name Sign is $20 (+$4.95 shipping)

I L.O.V.E this frame. A customer asked for an age appropriate frame for a 4 year old girl and she wanted soft colors...A princess frame in pinks and greens seemed perfect!

Another customer wanted a "Grandma" frame from the grandkids. I was told Grandma likes the color purple and gardening. Pretty cute-don't ya think?

Look familiar? I recently did a 4 year old frame that looked exactly like this one and was more than willing to re-create for a special 7 year old! Love it!

Here is another re-do!...this time for a kindergarten teacher instead of a little girl...A-dorable!

Contact me at snicholson@tx.rr.com to order yours today!

2010-03-08T16:34:00.002-06:00

There are so many things that can be done for a baby shower...and here are a couple things I've done! Diaper cakes, name signs, letter blocks...custom invites...all things I can do!

Here are a couple of some of my "baby shower" creations!
Just made this diaper cake for a boyMOM to be! This cake was made with a box of 92 diapers, 3 different types of ribbon, 2 hand-made burp cloths, and a hand-painted wooden letter. The price of this cake was $75, but pricing would vary depending on layer amount and what accessories you would want on it. (possibilities are endless...but I have many ideas!)

A closeup of the burp cloths designed to match the color theme of the baby shower.

This is a cake I did about 2 years ago and has more accessories than the one above.

More letter blocks! I did these as another accessory or decoration for the baby shower, but these would make an awesome gift too! They, of course, were customized to the babies nursery (which, I was told was sports theme with pottery barn baby bedding) Super cute!!

Pricing for letter blocks are $4.50/per block + shipping (varies depending on amount of letters, weight)

Contact me via snicholson@tx.rr.com with details of what you're looking for!! Can't wait to here from you!

2010-02-28T17:16:00.002-06:00

Hi! I'm Shawna Nicholson and welcome to my online store!!

Although I'm originally from Wisconsin, I've spent most my life in the great state of Texas! I currently reside in a suburb of Dallas with my husband and crazy little boys, ages 3 and 5 years.

Apart from being a wife and stay-at-home boyMOM, I'm also a senior in college getting my degree to become a teacher. If you already can't tell I like keeping myself busy!

I started painting about six years ago. I was pregnant with my first son and after buying his super cute nursery bedding, I found that I couldn't find anything I really liked to decorate his room. On a whim, I headed out to get some supplies and painted a few paintings to coordinate with the theme and colors of his nursery. After many compliments, I started creating more and more for friends and family. Eventually I started creating new and different things that people asked me to do for them...and I've had a blast! I L.O.V.E creating special pieces and will try any idea that someone gives me!

custoMOM finally came into creation this last year. Originally I was thinking of naming my lil business "custom mom", but how boring is that?!? I combined my love of being a mom with my love for creating special and unique art pieces!

Thanks so much for checking it out!
