I hope this Monday is a start to a very short week for all of you! I had a wonderful weekend in Illinois and it was so refreshing to be with my family and close friends. But now I must work until another fun extended weekend. Enjoy these links and remember to be THANKFUL!

The painting featured above is one of Steve Kim’s. I love it.

A way in which children and adults can be creative together.

Does AOL’s new logo make anyone else cringe?

Let it snow.

I just bought this vintage Christmas tree topper. I wanted something with personality and this screams awesome.

I’ve been excited for this shop opening and now it’s here!

Some items that have made it onto my Christmas list this year are: these adorable banners, this bag, this necklace, and a trip to the beach.

Enjoy your Mondays and make it fun!

Hi friends!

I’m happy to announce that my pal Cheryl has officially launched her new Etsy shop called “Central Coasters.” Cheryl is incredibly creative and has decided to share it with the world…through Etsy! Please take a look. I was very honored to design her banner and photograph her pieces. If you’re in the market for a fun Christmas gift, I’d definitely check it out.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! I had the day off yesterday and was working for some clients and realized how important my client are to me! So here is my ode to clients…but not in song form. More like link form.

I’m a girl who likes routine so I thought I’d dedicate my Wednesday posts toward some handmade artists that I admire. Featured today is the shop Wunderlust. I’ve had this shop favorited for about a year and their work really intrigues me. I respect artists who work in different mediums that inspire me in the work that I create. Way to go, Wunderlust!
