IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE

I couldn't be more excited to start 2015 with cold weather and my paint brush and watercolors by my side! If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen me working on this four piece set "It's a Jungle Out There." These little animal squares will be on their way to Colorado to help decorate a room for my girlfriend's little boy. Can't wait to see pictures of it!

FLANNEL AND FLORALS

It's no secret that I have a soft spot for flowers. Whether they're in my home or I stumble upon them out on a walk, I always take the time to admire their beauty.

SINGITA SAFARI

I've been a little MIA for the past week, traveling on 4 planes, a couple of buses, and by car; a total of 25 hours in transit to arrive in what I like to call Safari Paradise. I guess it's appropriate that they named the lodge we are staying at, "Singita" the Shangaan word for "place of miracles."

I love all the 'little details' when it comes to party planning. Mixing fresh cut daisies with foam pumpkins, candy corn with gooey eye balls, and of course a special place just for the little ones to enjoy.
