"She said she cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short"

There is so much sadness, fear, war, hatred, violence, pain, heartbreak, and evil in the world. But if you create a life full of beauty, you can see through it.

I just really wanted to get that out.


Here's some peeks into the past week in my life:




Yesterday was so fun. We spent the day eating (mostly), talking, laughing, playing with babies (yay!), and (my favorite) ...making music! I sing, and Michael plays guitar and keyboard! :]
I love creativity in all forms.





Saturday was the craft show/garage sale... It went even better than I thought it would! There were soo many lovely and creative ladies there.  I was busy selling scrap packs (there are still some available) and prints all morning!  I also spent some time working on pola packs and samples for the shop. :)
PS... Dear Janel, Lindsay, Jamie, EmJay, Haley, Elsie, Erin, Will, Rachel, Carol, and Jenny, I wore the broaches that Janel made all of us, so you were all close to my heart! I miss you!




I've been working like crazy setting up the new studio... lots of late nights and early mornings...










Finally, I want to wish my girl janel a very happy birthday! You are a beautiful, talented, dear friend and deserve the best bday ever!
