On the 1st Day of Christmas...

...my design inspiration came to me...from my amazing business partner...

 

They say "great minds think alike" and I have to agree with the alike part...but what makes it so great is when one of us has a fabulous thought and the other one takes it and makes it even better...and that happens all the time!!  Here's to another year of great inspiration!!!

On the 2nd Day of Christmas...

...my design inspiration came to me...

 

...as I walked through my day in my own home...what works here??  What needs attention...how does it flow...why does this not function well???  That makes me smile...
