Storm Clouds

I don’t usually let myself go there. You know… the forbidden zone. It’s truly endless. But there are times. Oh, the times. My heart feels that hole. It’s real. Very, very real. Despite the fact that I am usually the only one who feels it. I’ve always had quite an imagination, but this is far [...]

Last night I finished up the latest premade design, and would love to give one away to one lucky blogger! I call it the “Arielle” because the first thing that popped into my mind when trying to name this one was The Little Mermaid – my all time favorite Disney princess. This screenshot has an [...]

I’m so thrilled to announce that I will be starting on part of the design queue for July today… :) I feel terrible making people wait so long for designs, which is why I think I may change my approach for filling spots – open and close the wait list more frequently. We’ll see. :) [...]

They are the ones I run to for answers when something goes crazy. ‘Is this normal???’ I’m still figuring it all out. Hoping to God I do it all right. The reality [...]



Rain Happy Thoughts

After weeks and weeks of no rain, it felt refreshing to sink my bare feet in the soaked grass and dirt this morning. And the sunset last night was… breathtaking. I like to believe the rain clouds had something to do with that view. This morning I’m joining Gussy in her Inspirational Workshop on ‘spend [...]
