I will be offline for a while...

Due to a death in the family, I will be offline for the next few months.  Thank you for reading, friends.   See you soon, hopefully.

Etsy Preparations

As I said before, I am really going to start 

working on my Etsy shop.

I have some finished product...

...and I'll be posting it very soon.

Stay tuned, my friends!

My ZOO...

Welcome to my zoo.  It's loud and crazy, and always fun.

Spending some time taking care of the zoo before we head out for the evening.

The pig is, unfortunately, not a part of my zoo.  Wish he was!  :)

Tonight, we are heading out to the SPARK CD release party.

I'll post photos very soon.

SPARK is officially available, TODAY!  Get your copy on itunes, now!

Back to work!

Big things to share!

A while back, I told you about a special project I had worked on.

I have been waiting all this time to share it with you - and now is the time since

TOMORROW...

...my friend, Natalie Walker will be releasing her new album, SPARK.

Back in February, I came up with a possible concept for her album cover, and after some small preparation, we had a photo shoot where the vision for the "SPARK" cover came to life.

We created a FRINGE wall out of aluminum foil...

It looked fantastic!  

Wolfman thought so, too. :)

We used a strobe, a flash, and other light sources.  We even made some confetti out of foil. (Scott's idea :)  Nat's husband, Kevin was the photographer.  He did an AMAZING job.  Natalie looked stunning.  We got tons of great shots.  Here are just a few. 

This was the shot for the cover...

...no question.  

I was so proud to be part of this amazing project.  Not to mention, Natalie's new album is incredible.

You can buy it on itunes, TOMORROW!

Thank you for letting me share.

Time...

...is more precious than gold. 

 These days, I have very little of it.

Oh how I wish I had more time in each day!

Not only could I stop to smell the flowers...

...but I could get soooo much more work done!

Time to get organized! 

Time to kick some ETSY bootie. 

Time to get back in the game.  

(Yes - I'm giving myself a pep talk on my blog.)

Have a delightful Thursday!

There's always room for YELLOW!

I am SOOOOOOOOO into yellow, right now!  It's always the perfect color for summer.
