1st painting in the collection

This is my butterfly that is the first painting in my collection. It represents our inability to appreciate diversity. We as a people have shackled and locked up our ability to truly accept and enjoy the beauty of what makes us so different from one another.
I hope you enjoy it.

New painting!

Hi everyone! This is the newest painting that I am working on. I already have one painting finished that I will add as soon as I can.

Return from falling off the face of the earth Part 2

Okay...It has been forever! But I am back! There have been some exciting developments. I have finished some new notecard designs and I am working on my first collection of paintings! I haven't painted in a long time so this is really thrilling for me. I will take some pictures and post them as soon as I can!

Return from falling off the face of the earth!

Hello everyone! It has been months since I last posted anything on my blog! I apologize for the long delay. I have had an incredibly difficult summer. The Wheaton French Market went well however...so that was nice! I have finished my latest painting (which I will show you as soon as possible), my website is finally up, and I have made a few more notecards...getting back into the swing of things! I will post the new notecards soon.
I love you guys and hope to have something to show you next time I blog!
Love, Jamie

Newest Addition

Hello everyone!

Here is the newest addition to the Memories Illustrated line-up. It is a drawing of a mother giraffe sharing food with her baby. The tree has the words "Her children arise and call her blessed" from Proverbs written in the leaves. I have some prints of the original that I have matted and framed. It turned out better than I had hoped. I hope you all think so too.

Talk to ya again soon,
Jamie

Stained Glass Window Card

Hi everyone!
This is a recent notecard that I finished. It says "Thinking of You" in the stained glass. The image is from a chapel in St Mark's UMC in Carmel, Indiana. It is a lovely chapel. I took the center-most part of the stained glass to recreate. I hope they enjoy the cards and people find them encouraging.

Love ya - Jamie

Memories Illustrated Intro Party!

Everyone had a great time at the introduction party for Memories Illustrated! We had a lot of fun and we had some really wonderful food. I want to say that I appreciated everyone for coming and supporting me in this new venture. It really has meant so much to me to know that so many of you back me up and are enjoying the products that I am putting together. Thanks again!

Hello everyone!

Hope you all are doing well. Here is a thank you note for Tillett Financial that I just finished. If you need any financial planning advice or assistance, this is the company to contact! Call Tillett Financial toll free: 888-326-7020. (Ask for Terry or Jason, they are amazing!)

Anyway, I am still working on varied projects. I am looking over the proof for my catalog! That is exciting! And we are finally putting in the text on my website. I am excited to have those two major projects finished! =D My intro party is going to be this Saturday, which should be a lot of fun.

I hope to hear from you all!

Newest Comic Strips

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I've been busy! =D Here are two recent comic strips done for a previous client, Ben and Nikki. If you check back at past posts, you will see their wedding comic strip! They provided the pictures of scenes and memories that were most important to them and I created the comic strip of the event for them. They have now completed their wedding series: Engagement, Wedding, and Honeymoon!

I have recently just finished gathering a large order of notecards together and working (slowly) on my website. Hopefully we can finish it before the end of time! =D Also, my catalog is getting put together today! That is fun! I look forward to having that completed.

Well...until next time!
-Jamie

P.S. - To order just email: jamiedaling@hotmail.com

Personalized Notecards

Hello!
Here are three recent examples of personalized notecards that I have completed. The name in the ballet slippers is "Becky Simms" and the two dogs were for a couple that really loves their dogs. They also got pads of paper made with their dogs' image on them. They were hysterical! I can make pretty much anything into an illustration. So besides the notecards that you'll find from my flickr account, you can order personalized pieces!

I hope you all have a great day! Please email me with questions &/or orders:
jamiedaling@hotmail.com
Thanks

Newest Notecard Collection

I am trying to get my newest collection of notecards to import in and they are not wanting to. I hate that. Well, you can view them by pressing the "view my notecards here" tab to the right of this post. I think the newest flowers are my favorite additions.

I have my second website meeting tonight! I am very excited to get this thing up and going!=D I hope it will prove to be a much easier way of ordering notecards and personalized pieces. While my website is under construction, you can just email me at: jamiedaling@hotmail.com to ask questions and/or to place an order. =D Thank you to all of you that are doing that!

Until next time...
Jamie

Next website meeting!

Hello everyone! I will have my next meeting about my website on Monday! We should get a lot of work done on it during that meeting. YEA!

Thank you to those of you who are emailing me your questions about ordering. If anyone else has any questions or would like to place an order please email me at: jamiedaling@hotmail.com. I would love to work with you. =D

Also, my newest collection has come back from the printers. I am waiting for my hubby, Mike, to scan them in so I can post them. This collection has some of my favorite designs so far! I'll post them later today.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Brianna's Butterfly

Here is a lovely butterfly that my niece made for me! She is very talented. I believe that she is only 8 years old! If I get anymore of her stuff, I will definitely share it with all of you!

Business Notecards

Hello Everyone!
These are some examples of business notecards I just finished. They are for Victory Cheerleading. I'm excited to be working with them!
As far as my other collection of notecards...I just got them back from Alpha Graphics and they are ready to be packaged! I have a third collection on the way and that should finish out what I will use for my catalog. Also, my friend Nikki is going to be hosting an introduction party for me which should be great!!! (Thank you Nikki for all of your help and support. You have been great!)
Have a great day! Until I blog again...

Back from Michigan

Hello everyone...

We just spent a nice weekend in Michigan. It was a nice break and we got a chance to see some family that we don't see often. =D I have finished my latest collection of note cards and they are at the printers (Alpha Graphics of course!). I may have my first company picking up and selling some of my products! Yea! That is exciting! =D We will see how that pans out. Please pray that they will be one of many companies picking me up!!! Thank you!

Thanks to you all for your amazing support! I really appreciate it! =D

General ordering info...

Hello peeps!

I thought I would mention how to place an order again because I have been getting a lot of questions about it. If you have any questions or would like to order a comic strip, name flower, personalized cards &/or pads of paper, or note cards just drop me a comment or email me at jamiedaling@hotmail.com. I will follow up with you and nail down all of the information. Also I can send you other examples of my work.

I promise I will have my website up and going as soon as I can get it done. I have been having technical difficulties. =( I am, unfortunately, not computer literate...so it is a slow process. I apologize for any confusion.

Also, I wanted to make note, that if you have tried to leave comments before and were not allowed to, I have fixed that issue. So if you would like to leave comments...as long as they are nice...I would appreciate it. =D

I'll talk to you again soon! I have just finished another collection of note cards. I am excited to show all of you!
Love - Jamie

P.S. - I have already posted pricing guidelines if you would want to review my earlier posts for that information. Also, a pack of 10 note cards with envelopes is only $10.00! (There is a fee for shipping and handling that is not reflected in the price.)
