Last weekend was all about building a super great fort for my nephew’s fourth birthday. He was SO excited!

We started out with tons of random pieces,

and built this awesome fort complete with three levels, a climbing wall, and a built-in picnic table!
On our breaks, we got out the Play-doh and my nephew helped me create this,

we tried not to disturb this sparrow’s nest inside the cute house he built,

and at the end of the day, Brian and I thought we might just need a tree fort for our own backyard.

Art Weekends & Letting Go

A few weeks ago I had an art weekend with my sister-in law. We went to the art supply store and picked up a ton of spray paint, acrylic inks and other fun supplies. Then we covered her driveway with an old table cloth and played. She had all of these sheets of sticker paper that she never knew what to do with, so we... Continue reading

Following Your Dreams & Getting Published

Why fit in when you were born to stand out? -Dr Seuss …. One of my favorite things to do is paint at the beach. It’s the desire I first blurted out to an Artist’s Way group in 2009.

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!” -Audrey Hepburn ………. I love to take photo walks, especially through places I have never been.

Snapping photos in those places is so inspiring and really keeps me looking and being inspired... Continue reading
