For the Love of Paper

Johan Hybschman's book of precise laser cuts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

 

                                                                                                                                          In the world of text messages, bluetooth's, face book, twitter and yes even blogging I still cannot imagine a day without Paper                        

   The textures that invite you to touch them....The endless creative possibilities...

Bliss

Ever meet someone and within seconds you know this is a relationship that will be a part of your life forever?

One of my girlfriends and I are just those people and she's been in a relationship that mimics that of our friendship.  Ups and downs, tears and laughter, understanding and love.

This dear friend of mine recently married for the first time and she's over 50 years young. 

This couple was the Oprah before Stedman and the Goldie before Kirk.  They have 6 wonderful children and now in their prime have decided now is the time to tie the knot.

I'm inspired by her openness to life and always knowing happiness is about people not things.

Finding ones Bliss comes in many forms...the key is when you find it, to pause and take notice.

Music Uninhibited

                                     Janelle Monae photo from gladitsnight.com

i love the beauty that unique expression brings....the freedom of being oneself and celebrating individuality is Smokin' to me.

It's so easy to follow the pack and unfortunately too many of the most talented artists go overlooked because the masses simply do not know they exist.

Janelle Monae sounds to me like what being uninhibited feels like.  Conscious, relevant, thought provoking.  My current fav is Sincerely Jane.  She is an amazin talent.  Check out Metropolis. She has just been added to my Bucket List.

Beating the Chill

What a fantastic way to beat the chill.  I absolutely love this scarf. . . The word scarf actually does not do this justice.  I prefer to call it A Dreamy Orange Neck Hug.

It's part of a give away.  Please visit Whisper of the Muse blog, but by all means DO NOT ENTER THE GIVEAWAY because I must have this.

Did I also mention that orange is my favorite color!

It Does Rain in Arizona

Although a native Californian where I enjoyed going to the beach and snow within the same day, there is something so wonderfully beautiful about the sense of calm and artful skies here in Arizona, especially when it rains here.  It enlivens my creative energy... it speaks to my uninhibitedspirit.

Chocolate Truffle Hat

I love hats...wish I could wear them everyday and crushin on this hat at LiDDesignsBoutique

Did I add that I look cute in hats too...

Vintage

I been having a love affair with vintage or vintage-esque things lately. 

I created a birthday card recently based on this very emotion

...and I'm in love with this site by Lorenzo Petrantoni. It has wonderful black and white illustrations  I love the French music in the background equally as much.

So Nouveau Chic....so vintage

Calendar Giveaway

Beauty has a way of taking your breath away.  For someone to capture the those little things we might otherwise miss is incredible.  Check out the beautiful photography created by Amy Longberry.  She has a great calendar giveaway (hope I win)

Connecting to the World

Everyday I realize that there is so much in the world that is unknown to me. Curiosity of others trying to relate, understand and remain open even if not always in agreement, keeps me on the hunt for "What's Out There." 

It's truly what inspires me... 

It's the esoteric doctrines in life that makes us unique. It is only when we get overcome with judgment and close-mindedness that we miss the point.

Take moments in life, be it through travel, creating, reading, photos, music or simply exploring via the Internet while sick in bed to recognize that there is love, happiness and peace waiting for the taking.

Dreams and the Urgency of Now

"...We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now.  This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy..."                                        

- I Have a Dream Speech by Dr. Martin Luther King jr.,  Civil Rights Leader

"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on."

-John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States of America

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.  We are the ones we've been waiting for.  We are the change we seek.

-Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America 

Today as we remember our past, tomorrow let us embrace each and our future.

SNEAK ATTACKED

Stunned, dazed and an apparent victim of theft.  I went to my shop only to discover that 7 of my cards had vanished and in it's place was two emails saying "You've been Sneak Attacked!"  While in my mini-coma I contacted My of Springcart Designs who quickly let me know that I had an amazing sale day. In addition, I was honored by my peers on Etsy  by way of a Sneak Attack who appreciate my creative expression to the point of hosting a forum on my behalf.

I was WOWED by the experience.  An additional surprise is that I have been approached to have my cards in an east coast boutique (will keep you all posted) and received two out of state orders from Canada and the United Kingdom respectively.

Visit me at my shop to see my newest products.  And convo me to pre-order of one of our Decadent Teas.

Be Mine

I'm crushin' on my new Valentine-esque notecard.  We have every opportunity to express to those we love how we really feel...why waste it.

So pop over to my shop to get your sweetie a card and while you're at it add some Decadent Tea to take your love to another level.

Celebrating 2009

This is an amazing time to reflect on where you've been and where you'd like to be. How about starting with creating your signature style!

The launch of Uninhibited Spirit is a wonderful place to begin...

Now is a great time to order some personalized stationery and begin your year with your very own signature style.

For your signature drink pre-order from my new line of teas.

There's only one way to describe them - "Decadent!"              Royal Lemon is the perfect balance of citrus and creme, equally wonderful hot or cold

Chocolat, just like the movie has a magical quality that is sheer loveliness in a cup 

And wouldn't it be delicious to welcome guests into your home with the smell of our Uninhibited soy candle.  A wonderful blend of honey, patchouli and peach this will instantly become scent you will go to again and again. Also currently available for pre-order.
