Tree in Hawaii

I'm currently working on a positive thinking website for a client. In the process, I have been searching for photos I've taken in the past of trees for inspiration. I found this one. I took this in Maui, HI on a bike ride down Haleakala Canyon. It was at the end of the ride and I remember stopping just to get a shot of this tree. I still love this photo. Nature is quite inspiring for me.

New Motivation

I hope that everyone had an absolutely fabulous holiday! If yours was anything like mine, then you are now suffering from a food overload which is contributing to a serious lack of motivation. I believe every ounce of energy in my body is still being dedicated to digestion.

So...in hopes to get the creative juices flowing....Check out this assortment of beauty. Give me your thoughts on the ones you like. Hopefully, we can get each other motivated!

Each of these are for sale in my Etsy shop and makes a great gift!

Photo + Paper

In October of 2007, my husband and I went to Hawaii to celebrate our anniversary. While in Maui, we took a bike ride down Haleakala Crater - This photo is one of many that I took while coasting down the volcano.


Who ever would have thought, that from these photos, that I took Hawaii, a set of holiday inspired cards would be created?!?! Inspiration comes in the strangest of forms. The key is to recognize the inspiration when you see it. Now for sale in my shop, are these cards the Artistic Evergreen Note Cards.



I currently have these listed in the "Holiday" section of my shop. Do you think this is the best place for them? I would love to know your thoughts. I had a tough time decided where to categorize the design.
