✨ A Quick Update from Menus of Color ✨

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a quick update with you all.

I will be stepping away from Menus of Color as I move forward to focus on my art and creative pursuits (see pinned post from Sunday). It has truly been a pleasure connecting with so many amazing local businesses and being part of helping this community grow.

Moving forward, Amanda — the heart behind Menus of Color — will be your main point of contact. She will be continuing to work with businesses and keep everything running smoothly. Amanda can be reached at 352-556-5608.

I am moving on to create content and professional business pages so contact me at 352-322-2161 if that is of interest to you. I have a double life. I am also an artist and prior owner of Sunshine Dreams Art Center. I am getting back to my passion for doing custom commissioned fine art (paintings) and classes on location. I also am available for hire to do Face Painting Parties, Henna Tattoo Appointments and have a few get-away-rentals and excursion ad on's check me out on www.SunshineDreamsArt.com

Thank you all so much for your support, conversations, and connections along the way — it has meant more than you know. 💛

Wishing you all continued success!

🌟 A Little Personal Note from Dawn...
After a wonderful season with Menus of Color I am transitioning away from my role here to follow my heart back to where it all began — my first true love, ART! 🎨

Many of you know me as the friendly voice behind this page and I want you to know how much I have genuinely enjoyed connecting with this incredible community of local business owners! You have blessed me more than you know! 🙏

I wanted to take a moment to share what I've been up to because some of you have asked — and honestly I'm SO excited to tell you! 😄

Before joining Menus of Color, I was a fine artist and owned Sunshine Dreams Art Center in Inglis. I also an award-winning professional face painter and henna artist of over 20 years, 11 of which I did for a living traveling the country--just me and my little dog Cupcake.

I am still doing both art classes and face painting and henna but with a new twist and I am also accepting a few clients who need a professional page put together with monthly content. Private message me directly with questions.

What a fun thing to do. Great idea Mike Scott plumbing!

I did this with paint and pom.poms with kids in a car many moons ago.

Around the corner from your van I am painting the kids (across from t mobile). Look for me and say hi!

Thank you Mike Scott Plumbing for trusting Menus of Color with your advertising needs! If you haven't seen yet, the Scott's have a van at the Citrus County Fair that is all painted in chalk paint. They kids can draw all over it! Around the corner NOT in the midway, you can actually get your kids faces painted by me! (Dawn, the gal who managed this page). I am owner of Sunshine Dreams Face Painting & Henna so come and visit both stops and Trust Mike Scott for both your Plumbing AND your septic needs.

With over 36 years of dedicated experience, we bring unmatched expertise to every plumbing challenge, ensuring your home's comfort and peace of mind.
