It's that time again! Time for tradeshows and travel and razzle and dazzle on the business side of things over here. It always seems to bring the 'vacation mode' of the holidays to a screeching halt and snaps the new year into something of a sharp focus. We have so much to do! Only 12 little months to do it!
Some day I will be the kind of business owner and boss that thoughtfully plans out our next year's goals and schedule a tidy few months before the end of the previous year. My staff will take comfort in knowing what lies ahead and where we are going to put our collective energy, and feel secure that the new work will flow from my studio in a tidy and timely manner. Until that day, I am the business equivalent to the pop tart that you eat in the car on the way to school while you finish getting dressed in the car.
Or something like that.
I hope that it is one of my more 'charming' qualities.
Alas, this release made it to the printer just under the wire. And by just under the wire, I mean late.
That does not make me love them any less, and frankly, I think I do some of my best work under pressure.
This one was obviously inspired by recent additions to my life. Like many things, I couldn't have written about it until I lived it. This is what I want to tell my babies about how glad we are they are here and how we feel like we pulled them right out of the stars in the sky.
This one is for Graham and Ruby.

Simply perfect!!
This made me tear up a little. it’s perfect
I remember seeing this on Instagram – beautiful.
I get the biggest kick out of seeing Graham and Ruby. Ruby always has the biggest smile. I imagine she takes after her mom, which would explain why I like your cards and thoughts so much. Carry on.
Oh, is this ever lovely! A must-frame for our wee one’s nursery, and a perfect card for dear friends having babies. Love.
It’s absolutely charming! Please pass along my sincere thanks to Graham and Ruby for providing their mama with a new source of inspiration!
Love, love, love it! I knew great cards would follow those babies into the world!
I love it! I love all your work! I am so happy to see your first card after becoming a mom:) Being a mom changes everything:)
Loved the “altered my heart” phrase.. it fits so nicely there!
Leigh,
I sincerely love and appreciate your work! You take the words right out of all of our hearts and put them into beautiful artwork to be displayed. Thank you. Forever. xxoo
Leigh- thank you for saying what is in so many people’s hearts. We had a little boy that passed away and after multiple miscarriages we welcomed his little brother in 2012. Everyday I am so thankful for him and blessed to be his mommy! Thank you for saying it perfectly!
