For the buddy who’s all ears and never misses a beat.

From the second I launched "Favorite birthday", it's been a best seller.
Colorful, fun and full of meaning. It's hard to go wrong.

We're in Portland this week visiting family and working. And it is COLD. We're talking big puffy, down jacket and wool hat kind of cold. My Wisconsin roots are likely embarrassed by how cold I think it is...

That's what winter is:
An exercise in remembering how to still yourself,
then how to come pliantly back to life again.

LAST CALL for custom photo holiday cards! While they won't be in time for Christmas, a lot of my clients opt for New Year cards instead. It's a great way to share well wishes for 2026.

7 years of San Diego living, and I'm still not used to holiday decorating when it's 75 & sunny. But with the beautiful clear days comes calm clear nights. And we've had some chilly evenings recently. Not quite frost on the grass chilly, but close.

I'm a BIG color girl. I love creating these palettes using seasonal or everyday items as inspiration. Sometimes, it's obvious what the 5 colors will be, but I'm usually surprised by at least one; in this case, the olive tone.
