•Artistic memory of Stephanie gifted to me by her family•
☆☆☆☆☆
Close to three years ago, I captured this footage of a book I handcrafted in memory of an amazing woman for a family who loved her very much and lost her much to soon. She was a good, kind creative, and very beautiful woman who loved nature and animals. She had a good heart. Making this gave me an opportunity to learn more about a woman who embodied so many wonderful things throughout her life. She truly made a difference while she was on this Earth she respected. It was an honor to gift her family with a mini archive in her memory.
Here is a timelapse of an acrylic painting I finished tonight for Brandee, David and Lil Pumpkin. I could have easily printed this, but I wanted it to be handmade and special. I thought about them the whole time from 10.1 thru 10.17 each night when I worked on it.
Tonight she came over to see it and other things I’ve made her. She told me she loved it and that the things I’ve made are just what she wanted. That makes me feel good. Love goes into everything I do. These things are for their baby shower this weekend.

Not long ago we went to a dinner party with some gym peeps at Theo’s house. It was a nice evening. We were able to explore his museum-like decor with artifacts and professional photographs reflective of his travels, however, Marcus’s “Mandrill Cake” won the spotlight that evening. It was a creative spin on a decorative, high-protein cake to honor our gym and I loved that idea! Of course I took this custom muscle recipe straight to Martin, the owner of Mandrill’s ’cause it was so coo’!
Recent gifts for two strong New Mexico women whom were competing in other states out of Santa Fe, NM! Susan and Renee. I love crafting and I love these bottles and I found a perfect card! Acknowledging other people matters! That’s why I gave gifts to inspiring women in support of what we all love! Lifting weights! I do know that one went pro! Cheers to strong women!
Here’s my son recieving training this summer from an intern who is a freshman at UNM. He’s learning how to work at the Santa Fe Children’s Museum. He’s been going there since he was a young child and it’s such a great place. It is important to me to raise a thoughtful, creative, cultured child, whom could give back to his community.
This summer I decided it was time to take active steps in teaching him how to develop a good work ethic. We both became official volunteers at the Santa Fe Children’s Museum. What a great way to give back and teach kids something valuable in the process!
Here is the main arrangement I made for Janelle. The bottom portion is a stand as she wanted to keep her bouquet as a momento. I also made her two table arrangements with purple tipped roses and a matching boutonniere for her husband. Always fun…
This was that time we had a superbowl party for the gym peeps. Thank you to Monique for taking these pictures! I dropped a slammin’ shrimp cocktail bar is one thing I know. Who played again tho?
Lover of REALNESS... smart people with large brains... strong people with human weakness... all things divine and magical... and anything that makes my heart beat, my mind race, my body hurt, or my soul ache.
