born to fly

the sweet sounds of spring...

there is nothing

i love more

about spring

 

than sleeping with the windows wide open

curtains blowing

with a gentle breeze

 

keeping my eyes closed

and waking slowly

to the sounds

of sweet little birds

 

singing

preparing

gathering

nesting

 

discovering

and

celebrating

 

the arrival of spring

and rejoicing in

a beautiful tomorrow.

all of the above photos show the collage and nest i created for the lovely danielle mueller's swap, "a bird in the hand." the mini eggs were handcrafted from clay, and i enjoyed making them so much, i put together a mini-tutorial for you. stop my tomorrow if you'd like to see the easy peasy way to make your own custom mini-eggs. just in time for easter! xoxo

a little late, but still something new!

for quite awhile now

i've been doing loads of graphic design work

and blog design work

behind the scenes.

based soley on referral from sweet friends like you!

i'm so excited to share that i've decided

to make it "official"

and launch sweet pea ink - graphic design.

 

there is a new link on the right side of my blog...

that if you click will take you to where you can find lots of information on the services i am offering.

honestly, i've been hesitant to step full force into this business as there are already so many wonderful designers out there that i love! with much encouragement from friends (like you!) i've decided to go ahead and take the leap! i think my design aesthetic and style offers something new and pleasing to the eye. hopefully you will too!

now, every new launch deserves to be coupled with something exciting, don't you think?

for me, and most others that i know, something exciting right now means, saving money! right?!?

right now, and for the next two weeks, if you order either of the blog design packages...

sweet & simple

or

sweetly sublime

i will happily pass on a 20% to you! yay! that's a serious chunk o change!

thanks for reading

and celebrating

with me!

happy friday to you all...

something new...

i hope to have something new and exciting

to share with you all tomorrow...

that is if my three sweetpeas and "life" decide to cooperate...tee, hee!

a new little business venture...

something i've been thinking about for quite awhile...

and had many requests for,

from all of you.

i do hope you'll stop by

for a little news...

about something new.

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.  All life is an experiment.  The more experiments you make the better.  What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn?  What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice.  Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

until then...
