Have you read the blog Posie Gets Cozy lately? Many of you might have this blog bookmarked on your computer. How does she make this blog so beautiful? When I read it I feel like I made a visit to the English country side except that Alicia lives in Portland, Oregon. And of course I am a big fan of black and white dogs and Corgi's but Tom put his foot down about that one, he didn't want a dog that could not get into the car by itself, men! It is blogs like this that had me talking my husband into getting a new camera. I was sure that if I just had a better camera I could produce beautiful photographs just like hers! I love to scroll down and look at all of them put together.

I am just soooo excited about heading to New York with my girlfriends and then to Paris with Tom. Am I livin' the life or what? I also just got a fun fashion illustration job that I get to dig into AND to top it off it is supposed to be 70 degrees today. I am trying to stay focus at my art desk but I feel like a little kid the night before they are going on vacation all bouncy and stuff! I am post a mock up of a new pattern design I created. I created this in several different color combos, I am trying to stay away for all the traditional combinations but I did like the green and pink with a splash of orange.
