I am so glad you are here!
Welcome to my site! I am so excited to introduce you to my custom art pieces and share a bit of life with you through my blog. I am determined to become the woman God wants me to be and I believe that path includes glorifying Him in all that I do. This blog is a testament to my everyday journey through faith, family, friendship, service and creativity.
Designing: Word of the Year Art Block 2018
As I was designing Art Blocks for 2018’s Word of the Year, my first thought was to go with a lot of choices. Different sizes, colors, designs for each person to choose from that would coordinate with their word choice. When I made the blue block with the white laurel wreath and a touch of…
Mother Mary, did you know?
Last week, I was hustling around my studio, when a Christmas song by Amy Grant called “Breath of Heaven” came on. It’s the most beautiful song, looking at Mary’s perspective and what she must have been going through. My mama’s heart felt so much for her in that moment. I can’t imagine what Mary must…
December Daily {2015 & 2016}
DD 2015 was pretty much just a hope and a dream! I started it, digging into my beloved stash of October Afternoon products, but never finished it. If I collected anything for it, I have no idea where it is. So sad. But, I’m hopeful that I at least took a picture a day and…
December Daily {2014}
DD 2014 is simple and sweet: consisting of 8″x10″ kraft and white cardstock, some patterned paper and very light on the embellishments. Quite a contrast from DD 2012! The clean, simple design made this album come together quickly. That is one important scrapbooking lesson I’ve learned through the years: I have to be willing to…
December Daily Album {2013}
DD 2013 is a lot less embellished than 2012, but the memories are all still there. I just love rediscovering these moments from the past: packaging from a gift, little notes from grandparents, a trip to the salon, and a chubby little hand-print snowman. Some of these things may have been tossed or stored away…
December Daily Album {2012}
My December Daily (DD) 2012 album is definitely my favorite of all. I used products from my once-favorite scrapbook company, October Afternoon, which sadly doesn’t exist anymore. (Insert Sigh). They had the best embellishments, buttons, label stickers, alpha stickers and every line seemed to coordinate with the others. Oh, its just too sad to think…
December Daily Albums
Long before I started my art business, my creative outlet was scrapbooking. I especially love making mini-albums. When I came across the idea of a December Daily (DD) album about ten years ago, I was SO INSPIRED. The idea is to take a picture each day during the month of December and scrapbook it. Since…
Lil’ Art Block: Classes
Something new is happening in my world: teaching classes! I never planned to teach- I honestly didn’t think there would be enough interest to fill a class, never-mind more than one class. Last night, I taught my mason jar word-of-the-year class for the second time. I have now taught it to over 50 people! What?!…

The time has finally come! I am thrilled to be a part of Forager Brewery’s Local Creators Nights on Tuesday nights in…
