Today I stumbled across a new design for my stationery project. It began with a family tree painting on a paint which (thanks to technology) I then transferred into photoshop. I was able to overlay the tree design into other photo and art designs creating an entirely new line of cards. I think they express vibrant color and texture while representing a variety of themes.

As mass chaos ensues around me, I sit to etch out in pixels this, my first blog about nothing and everything. Radio theatre pipes through the stereo on my left, dinner dishes clatter from the sink just beyond this room, and three children, two cats and a dog endlessly fill these red walls with activity and fingerprints and chaos indeed! But in the midst of it all, I strive to establish structure and create memories and perhaps even stumble across moments of productivity.

The new year has brought new challenges and new endeavors alike. In addition to nurturing a marriage, shaping three hearts and minds every day, fulfilling homeschooling tasks, working at the Y, maintaining a house, pursuing personal fitness, engaging friendships, and writing, recording, and performing a freshman album, I have launched a new business featuring my art. It makes for longer days and more cups of pitifully weak coffee (oh, the bitterness!), but I fall into bed happy and thankful and satisfied, and so I get up again the next day to run the path a little further.

Through this outlet, I hope to keep family and friends informed and entertained with the humorous and/or inspiring nuances of life in prose and pictures. For today, I will sign off with a picture of the children framed with some of my recent work…
