Today is a beautiful Saturday! I love fall and it is the most inspiring season to me. It passes all too quickly, so I'm trying to remember the moments and use them to create.

I even drew people standing next to books. :) I also drew birds. They were a reminder that life ... View the Post

It's often tempting to throw in the towel when times get tough, but we should never give up. That was the entry for my latest art journal page. As I evaluate last year's business there were successes and not-so-much-successes. :) I am trying to look at what worked and what didn't so I can move forward in 2017 a bit stronger. We can't be afraid to say when something didn't work and learn from it. After all, I've gained experience and that is always valuable. Yay for a new year! ... View the Post
