Hello from the warm (not hot yet!) AZ desert!

I hope you are all having a great week so far.

I wanted to let everyone know about something exciting that has been brewing over the past 4 or 5 months!!

About a year or so ago, I was launching my kids clothing line and doing some PR giveaways and I happened upon an artist, Melissa, who won one of my giveaways. She contacted me to receive her prize and mentioned to me that she was an artist and that she would like to work with me on expanding my clothing designs into children’s artwork.

I was so incredibly awed by her talent and the ease in which we worked together, that I ended up ordering MANY more pieces of her original art as gifts for family and friends. We became close and Melissa mentioned to me that she may have to shut down her website and operation because she was doing the artwork more as a hobby and that she needed to bring in more money. I had been thinking about asking her about ‘mass’ producing her products for several months and this gave me the push to suggest it. She LOVED the idea and then asked me if I wanted to come on board and be her business partner and run the behind-the-scenes portion of the business. I said YES!! And Mona MELisa Designs was born.

We have spent the last 4 months feverishly getting our business up and running and our website is now LIVE and ready to launch! We have combined Melissa’s artistic talents as well as some of my designs from the Regionz Kidz clothing line and we have come up with some amazing art pieces for kiddos. The really cool thing about our line is that you can customize the art with SO many features – names, colors and even characters that you can personalize with different hair, skin and eye colors!

We would love for you all to stop by and check us out:

Currently we only sell online BUT we have been in talks with some BIG retailers about producing for their stores so keep your fingers crossed, we may be in a store near you very soon!

If you want to order anything from the site or have questions, you can email me:

lisa@monamelisadesigns.com

Please don’t order directly from the site!! We are offering friends and family really big discounts so email me with what you want and I will place the order for you.

Thanks for supporting me and I hope you have a great week – I will leave you with some samples of our designs (they are a little pixel-y because of the transfers back and forth from different files.  Check out the website for the TRUE quality ) – - Lisa
