a few years ago, i wrote a novel. i spent two years revising and rewriting, having it critiqued and getting advice from other authors. then, i completely burned out on it. that’s one of the reasons i started painting again in the summer of 2009. but recently, i’ve had this voice in my head that is craving to get back to writing. i know i just need...

i just can’t stop myself from taking photos of doorways! i’m noticing beautiful doors everywhere! i just love the way each doorway is unique – whether it’s the door itself or what’s surrounding it – it’s such a wonderful prelude to what lies on the other side. here are some of my recent favorites. i just love the light and airy color combinations! each one...

i just can’t get over these adorable gingerbread houses! it’s always inspiring to look at creativity in a completely different medium. it just sparks an entirely new side of inspiration to see patterns of bubblegum and candy canes! i remember having to make a gingerbread house for my 7th grade class. we didn’t have sugar cereal or many sweets in our house, so having an...
