Birdie Birdie in the Sky...


I wrote and illustrated a book for my sweet little girl, Brea. I used a series of photos taken by the talented Marcel Walker as inspiration. Thanks Marcel for capturing the magic and wonder I see in her eyes. I haven't had the book printed and bound yet, but I can't wait to hold it in my hot little hands. If you want to see the book better just click on the thumbnail and you can view it full screen. I hope you enjoy it. I know I found a new passion creating it. Let me know if you need one for your own someone special.

The grass is always greener


We finally got lawn in our backyard. It is so beautiful... like a green patchwork quilt. I knew the girls would love having a place to play but I never imagined how much I would love the new addition. Everything about it is wonderful... watering and nurturing it, coaching it to take root and grow. I find myself staring at it from the big picture window in the dining room. And best of all, I love to walk around my yard barefoot and feel the cushiony goodness on my toes. Thank you to all the wonderful people who helped give me this joy. xoxo

I {heart} this poem... I mean, advertisement.



Here's to the Crazy Ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The trouble-makers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them.

About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world - are the ones who do.
