Latest Women Who Create Magazine
Posted by: | CommentsHave you seen the latest issue of Women Who Create? 
The Aug/Sept/Oct 2010 isssue is loaded with profiles of uber talented women and so much inspiration!
Peek inside the work spaces of editor Jo Packham, Wendy Addison, Amy Butler and the Junk Bonanza‘s Ki Nassauer! So much to discover… Look into Nancy Soriano‘s home office (past editor-in-chief of Country Living) and behind the scenes of the Curious Sofa‘s Debbie Dusenbury. We even get a glimpse into the creative studio of Kelly Rae Roberts… a treat not to be missed!
What inspiration did I take away from the magazine… well, after I get done hyperventilating over all of the talented women and their creative nests… (sorry, the creative excitement really gets to me!) I really just love the stories. Yes, it’s not about one person, their art, or even their studio. It’s about each of the personal stories of how they got there, what makes them tick, how they fuel their creative energies, and how they find the time to create. I am thoroughly inspired and motivated to make my own story count even more.
Almost all of these fabulous women can be seen this month at the CREATIVE CONNECTION EVENT in Minneapolis, MN. Yes, can you say, how many talented women can you get into 3 fun-filed inspiring days? Oh I can’t wait… I will be there for sure! Will you? Register here and now, so that you too can attend!
If you are attending the Creative Connection Event, please comment below and let me know… I will be sure to search you out! If you aren’t able to attend, first go out and get the Where Women Create issue, read and wander through all of the delicious pages, then join us all online on our blogs so you too can experience the joy of women creating together. Oh, that just sounds fun, doesn’t it?

All things home…
Posted by: | CommentsWelcome! I am so happy to have you stop by…
This blog is designed to bring you all things home. If you are looking for a great paint color, some design inspiration, a tasty recipe, or a tip on a unique shop to discover… this blog is for you. I will bring you tips and advice that I use for clients in my design business, along with the daily inspiration from my own life and home.
My mission is to empower women to live life creatively, celebrate the daily, and to embrace home. I am passionate about making our home life a functional, personal space that we and our families can thrive in, laugh in, and play in. Our homes should represent more than just a place sleep, eat, and store stuff. They should be places to restore our souls, connect with each other, and create legacies. They should handle dirty laundry, wet dog paws, and birthday parties. They should welcome us home each time we step in the door and fill our hearts with a sense of place and belonging. Our home should be an extension of who we are and should tell our story. It is my mission to share in this journey with you.
This is your blog too… let me know your thoughts, your inspiration, and your daily challenges. We are in this life together and what better way to get through it than together? Every time I sit down to write I will grab a cup of coffee or tea and ask you to join me. We can share what works, what doesn’t, and what makes us laugh or cry. We can talk about how to best bake a chewy cookie, how to artfully frame your child’s latest angelic photo, or what to do about the endless piles of junk mail. So, visit often, comment much, and share these posts with others on the journey.
Thanks for stopping by…Let’s Celebrate Life Everyday!
Your blog hostess…
