Guess who's back....

I'm back feeling reinvigorated and delighted to show you my new blog look created by Hope Wallace designs. Hope does such fabulous work and it was fun to see her in action creating the wonderful banner above while she was here on a visit. I love that it incorporates my style statement Creative Treasure. Hope you like it! The house is so quiet. I had to say good-bye to my dear sister, Laura when she left with her family on Sunday after spending almost 3 weeks together. I loved every minute of it!
Then Hope was here for several days staying with me and my crazy family. We had so much fun shopping, going to estate sales, parks and hanging out journaling together!Last Saturday Laura, Hope and I all went to Danielle's firestarter session. It was amazing and is very difficult to put into words.
Danielle is the author of the book style statement and the blog WhiteHotTruth.
The session was a mix of hearing Danielle's story and tips for the journey of being an entrepreneur, figuring out what we really want to get out of life and learing to expand to our fullest possible extent. It was truly remarkable and wonderful to spend the morning with such an amazing group.

Preparing for Hope to visit, we spruced up the house a bit with loads of flowers from the farmer's market.Hope fit right in and the kids loved her!! Here is Chloe and Hope rummaging through some vintage letters.
It was wonderful to see each other's journals in person. They are so much more amazing when you can actually hold them in your hands.
After the firestarter session we did a few pages in our journals while chatting the night away.
What an amazing couple of weeks I've had. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have such nurturing connections to some amazing women.Bye-bye....it was fun!!

It's so neat when you meet friends in person. That's one of the best things about finding people through blogging and art. : )
Your header is very pretty!

How exciting this must have been to attend a Fire Starter meeting. I am working my way through Style Statement too, although I haven't settled on my actual statement yet. What fun that you and Hope were able to get together for a fun time!
