SURROUND YOURSELF WITH HAPPINESS

If there is one piece of advice that I could everyone, it would be to document your favorite moments in life! Whether you use a camera, video camera, or journal, when you have the opportunity to later go back and visit those special moments, you can't help but feel happy! 

You don't have to be a professional, and it doesn't have to look perfect or written well. Just having the ability to revisit those happy times for just a moment will fill you with joy. You can keep your memories private in a journal, or share them in albums or frames. Every moment has a story and although some are not so happy, if you document the ones that are, you can always go back for a little while!

Here are some of my favorite moments. I'm no professional, but none-the-less I love these photographs as if they were. You better believe they will be displayed in my home!

Peace & Love,

Celina

FABULOUS ARTWORK FIND!

One of the most "Southern Shabby Chic" things a girl can do is decorate her home with artwork that has real meaning.  I admit that sometimes I'll find a little print here and there from the local Bed Bath & Beyond, just to make the house look nice. But, finding that special piece with meaning can make an entire room, not to mention a great conversation piece. It's not always about finding that bargain painting, sometimes it's about making an investment in artwork with meaning! 

Fortunately for me, one of my dearest friends is an amazing artist and I cannot wait to place one of her pieces in my new home.  Leslie has been painting for years now and you can see her passion in her work. If you are interested in hiring Leslie for a special piece, please contact me and I will be happy to send you her information!

 I am obsessed with the warm feeling and gold touches in this painting. Just beautiful!

Leslie's artwork is so special, it doesn't need a big beautiful frame. The painting on the canvas alone speaks volumes. I'm already thinking of ideas for my home : ) Love you girl!

Make your own art with your girlfriends!! LOVE!

I cannot wait to experience this myself! Have a great time with your friends and leave with a beautiful piece of art, not to mention the memory you will always have of that fabulous time! There are Painting with a Twist locations all over the south!
