First of all, i just want to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to my new book. It is honestly such an honor to read so many excited comments! I can't wait until May!
My super*lovely friend, rachel, has some AMAZING work featured in this new book... i was SO blown away when i saw it.... just beautiful and inspiring and honest.
I also have a few new paintings to share.... these are a part of my new "Neverland" series... i showed you a peek last month.
ps... who else thinks 2008 is going to be the best year ever?
You inspire me so much Elsie!
Love that wall. Thanks for sharing with us.
I am getting married in July, so I definitely think 2008 will be my best year yet :)

Coming out of lurkdom to say: yeah, 2008 looks to be great so far. Your book looks like a must have and the Neverland prints look intriguing.

I have decided that my word for 2008 is RAD... I will have a RAD year... Live creatively, surround myself with love and become the rad person I used to be.
Thanks for your continuous inspiration ;) xx

Well when I woke up on Jan. 1st something inside me said this is going to be your year.
So far I have begun a digital photography class, I have been asked to be a photographer for a wedding & get pd. for it, I have finished some wall art that I have been dying to get done for over 6 mo., I have bought a new sewing machine because this year I am going to learn how to quilt, (and it just so happens that RVKC has the tutorial for me to make one, I have already got all of my fabrics to get started), and last but not least I have returned to Weight Watchers, and if I play my cards right I could have off 80 lbs. that is 2 lbs. per week by Sept. for something that I have been wanting to do since last year. I'm sorry but I cant say what it will be....You will all have to wait until then!!
So if anyone wants to cheer me on and see how I've been doing with my new lists of things to do come check me out here periodically... http://photography4me.blogspot.com
And the same goes for me too.....Elsie you have become a major inspiration in my life!!! Thank you!!

For some inspiring art ideas, I can't help but think of Emily's wall of art over at The Black Apple...Too many great artists to remember but she actually lists them in one of her posts. I know a few can be found on etsy.
Have fun,
Cyndy
