Amy is the very generous graphic designer behind the blog Eat Drink Chic. She runs a lovely blog and also shares a few of designs with us for the total sum of … freezies. Check out the free downloads here.
Christmas is coming and I am thinking handmade is the way to go for me this year so some of Amy’s free downloads might come in handy.

I would love to go on but I hate describing art to people – it makes me feel uncomfortable. All of a sudden I feel like I can’t come up with anything deserving enough and end up saying something like – I like this painting, its pretty. Well maybe not that bad but you get the idea. And Elizabeth’s abstracts are indeed pretty. Pretty awesome! See what I mean. I will shut up now.
1st painting – Pearls on Five
2nd painting – Take Three
3rd painting – Tar Beach
