I think everyone has different sourced for inspiration, that thing that gets your creative juices flowing. Music has always done that for me. Each of my lines through the years has been designed to a different sound track. I would listen to the same CD over and over while I was creating what I hoped […]

Things were moving in Southern California today. It’s been a while sense we’ve had a good shaker around here. I was at my husbands office when the earthquake hit, it was a pretty good one, but not big enough for any real damage. Unfortunately when I get home and turn on the news it […]

I have lived my whole life being a creative person, as a child I had to have something to glue, sew or draw on or I would start to go crazy. I’m still that way today. It’s like therapy for me to create something new. Thank God for my business, which has allowed me to […]

On Wednesday I have to report for Jury Duty for the first time. I know, you are wondering how someone reaches middle age and has never served. One of the few excuses that work for getting out of Jury Duty is having your office in your home with school age children. Now that my […]

Ellese spent time every day in her journals. They are filled with so much of her. Artwork is splashed across the pages mixed with poems, random thoughts and labels off the piece of fruit she was eating. I am so thankful for these books she left behind, they are a glimpse into her soul. Today […]
