One of my very favorite ways to create is with a mood board – either using found objects to create my own image or with a photo collage. I love collecting items for a specific theme and arranging them in a way that evokes a unique feeling. Layering everything together until I get it *just* […]

Long days, warm nights, and blue skies make summer feel extra special after cold, dark winters. I am someone who has always looked forward to summer for so many reasons, but mostly just to get outside to enjoy the sunshine. However, the older I get, the more fleeting summer seems to be.
