Do what you love. this is why...
i have always & I mean always...loved handwriting & cursive, loved to draw, paint, design.....loved to simply create. i can even remember my first "masterpiece" in Nursery School. I knew I loved art, even then.
then I went to college.
got a degree. Became an engineer {p.s. I love math.ha.}
happily worked as an engineer.
brother said let's dive into an art company...what??? That's crazy...I thought...
We did it.
then I met a boy.
We fell in love ♥
We got married.
I, my family & incredible creative team built a business.
Oh yes...I had a few little monsters along the way ♥
Funny...
I'm creating art again.
exactly what I have always loved to do.
Full circle.
surround yourself with love & do what you love.
amazing things can happen ♥
Stacey, thank you for matching the beauty of life with our In Love Paper Collection ~ it makes me exhale & smile.
That's beautiful. Life is all about creating and recreating!

Awww, I swear the two of you have to be the prettiest couple ever!! It's awesome when you can do something you love and be so good at it! ...my story is similar in that I took a specialized commercial art course through all my schooling, then worked for a trade show design company ...as a project manager!! (nothing to do with art lol)...I'm really happy now to be immersed in such a creative field since I've been staying home with my kiddies :)

Awww! Every bride should be so lucky to look as lovely as you on your wedding day! Wow! Great story...I had no idea you were an engineer! Now I'm wondering what kind? Mechanical, chemical, etc? I'm so happy your brother had other ideas. :-D
Stacey, your layout is gorgeous! Amazing what just the right colors and finishing touches can do to enhance a photo. Thanks for the fab inspiration!
