play creatively
One of the things I loved most about Valentines day as a child was the creation of fun red and pink hued boxes that we would decorate in anticipation of the happy hoard of heart themed cards and candies. This year I thought it would be fun to extend that joy by creating a play …
My lovely friend Jane of See Jane had the most darling idea for a Valentine’s Day card this year. She came up with the idea of using yarn pom-poms for a super cute cheerleading v-day card and she asked me to illustrate the little cheerleader for them. Well I was crazy about her idea and …
Who doesn’t love an entire month dedicated to love? I know I do. I’ve always been a big fan of Valentines. Even when I was single. It’s always encompassed more than just romantic love for me (although I’m definitely a fan of that angle!). I love celebrating LOVE and all the those that matter…all those …
It’s crazy to think that just a week ago I was amidst of sea of inspiring ladies (and a few gents) at the always a party, ALT Summit. I always love the casual and intimate way ALT is kicked off with the Wed. night dinners. Helps to feel like you have a few cronies in …
