Bits and Pieces of Things
I have boxes and envelopes and drawers full of inspiration. Not enough hours in the day to manifest all the creative ideas dancing around in my mind. From crayons to computers. Wow!
This Came First.
Then Came THIS!

It is what makes my heart skip a beat. Its like magic! I hit these magic keys or push around a magic pen and voila! Something beautiful appears. . . And some how I still manage to make a mess of my studio.
Adam Lambert the World is Paying Attention
Tonight I won't be doing artwork. I will be sitting in front of the television watching American Idol with my daughter. This is the first time this show has grabbed my attention. All of the young people singing on the show are talented and entertaining, but it is Adam Lambert who has caught the imaginations of people of all ages all over the world. In a world stressed nearly to death by all nature of "bad things", Adam Lambert is a breath of fresh air. Sing for us again Adam!

My personal history includes living through the era of SNAIL Mail. (and Air Mail as well) While I love the Internet and the convenience of "E Mail" I find this new form of communicating lacking in some fundamental elements. There is rarely any joy in holding an email. And while there may be a small amount of vibrational energy to be passed on in this electronic communication, it is transient and often forgotten moments after it is received and read.
I believe there is something to be said for traditional mail. A card or letter held in the hand is a link between the sender and the receiver that can be renewed over and over again. Emails are lost in cyberspace filing cabinets. Letters and cards are often held in the safety of dresser drawers, shoe boxes under the bed, and baskets on a shelf to be retrieved and lingered over again and again. Because I believe in the relevance of snail mail, I put great effort into creating the most beautiful, meaningful, and relevant greeting cards my imagination will allow. The next time you have a need to communicate in a very meaningful way please check out my Etsy Shop and see if there is a card there which will aid you in that endeavor. There is no greater compliment to a card artist than to discover someday that one of her creations was lovingly saved in some body's sock drawer for a very long time!
