    I'm going to wait until Friday to post our annual Christmas picture card as they are still arriving in the mail and I don't want to foil the surprise.  If you've come by hoping to see my photo review of the Bergdorf Goodman holiday windows it will be here eventually.  We usually visit NYC over Thanksgiving weekend with my mom but this year my parents are coming for Christmas (today!) so we are saving the event for this weekend.  The digital composition below is created with some of my new stencils that will be released in 2016. I like to mess around with them in photoshop to see how useful they might be in real life.  I'm excited for these too!  

    Wishing you a Merry Christmas.  I always expect the reader interprets what I'm saying, which is:  I don't know the particular holiday you are celebrating this year so please take these words as wishes for a glorious season with loved ones.

    I'm excited to announce that I'll be participating as an artist in 5th annual Creative JumpStart (CJS) 2016, hosted by Nathalie Kalbach. If you're not familiar with CJS, it's a one-of-a-kind online event to kick your creativity into high gear in January 2016.  Nathalie has extended an invitation to me for several years and I always declined as I'm not a video girl.  So how cool is this?  I made my first one!!

    Learn techniques, discover new materials, and connect with artists and crafters. 

    Throughout January participants get 25 downloadable videos from 24 featured artists. I'm proud to be one of those artists, called “JumpStarters.” See for yourself:

    A fun site to visit….in case you missed my post from a few years ago: SCRIBBLER

  • remembering….

    For those who have served and for those who are serving, thank you.

    Last year's display of poppies in England is worth revisiting.  The English still honor vets with poppies.  I was saying last year that I rarely see them here.  

    The first photo is from 2012 – we were in the UK just before 11/11 and poppies were everywhere.  The next grouping chronicles the amazing ceramic poppies (888,246) that were installed at the Tower of London.

    To my mom, my mother-in-law (who celebrates in March in the UK), my sister-in-law, my aunts and cousins, and all my friends…wishing you a Happy Mother's Day!  Feeling blessed to be a mother to three great kids.  Remembering my Grandma – the first Mother's Day without her.  

  • Happy Easter

    Wishing you a blessed day – Easter or Passover.  Celebrating with family here, and Spring is showing itself.  Can't get better than this!

  • 25!

    Twenty-five years ago today, on a very frigid Friday evening in St. Paul, Graham and I were married in front of friends and family.  While it doesn't seem like yesterday, it certainly doesn't feel like twenty-five years.  We have built a happy life together.  We have three great kids, we have lived in four cities in four states, have had six addresses, and archived a lot of traveling miles, good memories, and are ready for more .  Our first wedding dance was a Bon Jovi song, and our secret private vows included the same lyrics, "I'll be there for you".  Serendipity….that track is from the album "New Jersey", where we now live.  25 years ago we never would have believed that NJ would become our home.

    Silver anniversary!  I married a good one.  Graham is my best friend, a wonderful man, partner, and father.  I always say I'm a lucky girl, and he continues to make me feel that way.  I know he doesn't like to be featured on the blog, but I can't pass up celebrating US today.  Love you.

     

  • cheers!

    Happy St. Patrick's Day!  May it be a lucky one for you!
