I'm excited to share with you that I'm going to be featured as a guest curator for Crescendoh, April 19 through the 24. When Jenny Doh invited me to participate in this fun opportunity I was very honored. I really love everything that Crescendoh stands for ("creative passion, authentic community, focused compassion") and I hope you'll check out the site right now for some instant inspiration.
In thinking a bit about what "Art Saves" means to me in my life I've been reflecting on the joy that I receive from making things for others. I especially love to surprise people and try to give them a little unexpected perk that they never saw coming. I've received such loving perks myself and I wanted to just share a few of the most recent surprises I've gotten from three thoughtful souls who wanted to brighten my world "just because."

Receiving each of these three gifts really filled me up and made my day on the individual days I got them, so I know the honest value in reaching out. Even in this era of social media and overstimulation it's easy to feel isolated and like you live on your own planet sometimes. Pop in on someone else's planet sometime; share a piece of what you have to give; you'll enjoy it even more than they will, because . . . well . . . that's just how it works.
If I were anymore excited for you, I might literally explode right now. How exciting!!

Gosh, I just realized that I haven't checked in on your blog in forever, and how funny that I happen to check it on a day that you posted photos of my little gift to you!
How great that you're going to do the Crescendoh thing-I'll be sure to check in during that week. I promise to write you a real email soon. I got carpal tunnel surgery a couple weeks ago, so typing long emails should be easier for me now, I hope!

I love sending gifts.
The whole process is magical to me from selecting things to include, to making special things, to wrapping it all up into something special.
I'm so tickled that you love my belated birthday parcel, and thankful you included it above.
much love to you my friend :)
