pretty winter

The other day, I was telling a friend that I am really sick of winter. But then, I rediscovered these photos I took at the beach about a month ago. The first one is with a flash and the second is without - same scene. The other two are from one of my daytime beach walks. I was surprised to find this colorful orangey-red plant on the dunes. It was like a little leafy sunset. See, even winter can be pretty! But, I'll admit to still longing for warmer weather. Spring, get here soon!

fiesta forever!

Here's a little peek at one of my latest projects. I designed these fun red and black cactus flower invites for an upcoming engagement party in Texas. The theme was Mexican Fiesta and the hostesses wanted to do something special and custom-made just for the bride and groom. I love the finished product, wrapped up with some classic red and white striped baker's twine.
