Thank you to cool mom picks for including me in their holiday gift guide!  I love how they break it down (my paintings are under ‘I need something for daddy from the kids’).   

Also, the new poppytalk handmade market is now up.  Another great stop for your holiday shopping!

Irene at Bloesem was kind enough to do a post on my work on both Bloesem and Bloesem kids!  Thank you!  And thank you for all the shoe love comments over there.  They are my favorite pair right now and thought the color went perfectly with the prints I was photographing.

I’m sure you’re thinking, a what?  The Daily Grommet is a site featuring a new find (or ‘grommet’) daily.  The fun part is that you actually get to see these two lovely ladies actually talking about and using the grommet.  Go take a look!

I especially love how she displays her sons artwork.  You can see […]
