For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As good as last week was, this week was its opposite. In other words, it was a bit of a bust. I was able to get into the studio without much resistance, but I produced a lot of junk. Only two pieces of art will make it to my online shop- Wild Mountain Columbine Sinking What … Read More »

Family photographs. At one time, I religiously scrapbooked them. That ended in 2008, with the birth of my last child. Somewhere between three kids, interior design school, a crazy economy, my husband starting his own company, then ME starting my own company, the scrapbooking took a back seat.
