Knowing When to Fold: Closing Up Shop on RedBubble

Hi Lovelies!

I have been brewing with some life-changing decisions this year and I've come to the point where some things have to be released to welcome the new. I can certainly see this occurring physically, relationship-wise, mentally, and even when it comes to this career of mine. As my goals and vision are being reshaped to be in alignment with my values and priorities, I have to stop hanging on to things that have not been serving my highest. So, today I have to inform you that I am ending my time at Red Bubble. Since 2008, I have promoted and sold artwork there but it's not fitting with where I am today. I must also forewarn you that other changes are coming but have yet to be finalized. And that's okay. Sometimes you have to fold and walk away from the table. I can only know that as the vision becomes clearer, better things will be in store for all of us.  Don't you agree? So until next time, have a beautifully designed day.


Best,

Pinteresting: Mother's Day 2014

Hi lovelies,

I have Mother's Day all on the brain. Each year, I become way indecisive into what to give my mother for the special day. It was so easy when I was a child as the typical gifts were a handmade card and maybe a homemade yellow cake with chocolate frosting topped with M&Ms. As an adult, the options are so plentiful that it puts me in a tailspin. Maybe Pinterest will be my resolute this year with a mix of retail finds and DIY treats.

Hi Lovelies,

I decided to make moves and open up shop with Society 6. Fast forward to now and the countdown is on til opening--three days to be exact. Eeeeeeeekkkkkkkk!!!! Here is sneak peek into what's in store for your electronic accessories.

I have a budget and I do my best to stick to it.  So, today, I reasoned with myself and realized that I had enough for a little shopping.  Next thing you know, I was in Michaels looking for one item, and got something different.  My purchases consisted of acrylics, gesso, and a 10-pack of canvases.  Luckily, Michaels has a great sale going on with coupons galore. I saved and was satisfied.
