From the whimsical to the vintage/antique to the fashionable to the small touch of weird that makes me who I am, Valentine’s Day is always a wonderful source of inspiration! I like to draw on that inspiration that flows all around me this time of year and infuse it into my work. So here is a small collection of pictures that I found to aid in this endeavor.
I hope you enjoy it!

Here we are! We have arrived in 2013 and i couldn’t be happier about it. 2012 felt like such a long year. It had its ups and its downs but over all it was a very productive year. The only thing i wish i had done differently is that I wish i had been more focused on my career goals and less distracted by life. This year will be different.
And as I sit here and reflect on the things and the people that have influenced me over the last year, I am humbled. I realize that I am a very lucky girl! I have friends and family that love and support me no matter what. The work I do is something I love and cherish. It makes me happy. And above all, I have been given many gifts this past year that will open doors for my life (both personal and professional) in the new year.
I will be posting some news about new projects that will be coming up in the new year over the next few weeks.
I love you all very much!
