[business cards]

here are a few of the business cards I have been designing lately...

:)

flourish conference...amazing!!

 SO....I know I posted A WHILE ago about my friends and I putting on a conference for high school girls called FLOURISH....it was an awesome day!! This is because we had the most amazing team of friends come and help make it happen!!!! I was overwhelmed and in awe of how incredible it is to be a part of such a great community that supports and encourages each other.  It was a one day event from 9am-6pm and girls from all over California [San Diego to Modesto to San Luis Obispo to Long Beach] came and worshiped, laughed, studied, and learned about what it looks like to live out Ephesians 4:1"....live a life worthy of the calling you have received".

[it was a beautiful day.]

Besides speaking, I got to do a few things that I love to do, like paint!!! I wish I made more time to sit and paint...it is so therapeutic for me even though I am not very good at it, I still like it! I made this sign for our photobooth that we set up for the girls to take pictures at the event as a keepsake of the day. [thank you Randy Marshman for setting up the photo shoot/backdrop, etc and Taylor Johnson for taking such fun pictures all day long!!]

I also got to design tshirts for the FLOURISH team. I designed patches and my friend Kevin Jenkins who owns EMBRACE APPAREL [www.embraceapparel.com] printed them up for us and then I sewed them on at different places on each girls shirt...so we all had different ones!!! AND I maybe a little bias, but I think we had the world's best band made up of all amazing women - lead by Jessica Lindstrom Garcia...her voice is truly angelic & they have hearts to match!

We are currently setting up FLOURISH conferences in Modesto, Long Beach and Mechanicsville, VA for the fall/winter! More details to come!!!

Ginny's amazing cakes!!

While I was back home in Virginia during the month of April, a group of my friends from high school got together for dinner. We each brought different toppings for a salad and had a great night of catching up and eating:) I love how encouraging, beautiful and funny each one of these girls are. We've been friends pretty much our entire lives and to grow from preschool, jr.high, college, weddings and now having babies and still be able to laugh through it all is a special thing.

Ginny started a cake business a couple of years ago and everything she makes is EQUALLY delicious as it is beautiful!! She just "whipped" up these personalized cupcakes for each of us. If you are in the Richmond area, you definitely need to use her for your next big event! The cupcakes had a delicious filling and the icing was a whipped chocolate frosting with cherry and chocolate chunks!!! SO GOOD.

art+food....mmmmhmmm.
