Amore. It is in the air, all around us and at the heart of this month’s celebrations. The ultimate display of love is that of children. More than a few of my friends are proudly displaying baby bumps. I have the pleasure of throwing a baby shower for my favorite Ms. Brandy and her beloved Nick. I can’t wait for everyone to see her nesting themed party. Feathers, nests, birds in flight and chickadee’s will set the theme for this day of celebration.

  I have an exciting highlight this month – an amazing friend and client is now marketing her amazing products. Dawn Strouse put her career on hold deciding to swap business for babies. Dawn started Giggle House Studio from her first personal project in her own home. From those seeds, Dawn’s business grew to include art, furniture, wall murals, room décor and many other odds and ends.  It is so exciting to see a fellow artist achieve her personal and professional goals while offering her amazing artistic creations for the rest of the world to enjoy. I understand balancing the love of a craft and family. This is not a simple task and I greatly respect Dawn’s move to share her art with others. 

Visit her website at www.gigglehousestudio.com for more information and samples of her work.  To follow Dawn’s progress there are multiple options: Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/GiggleHouseStudio; Twitter,http://twitter.com/gigglehouseart; and Etsy Store, http://www.etsy.com/shop/fizzfunart.

Didn’t we just celebrate Christmas? It is hard to believe that Valentine’s Day, much less Easter, is almost here. There are some wonderful Hot Momma’s out there that took advantage of my services to create a little something special for their husbands on Valentine’s Day. I can’t wait to hear about the reactions.

 In preparation for Easter, my calendar is already getting crowded. Before you know it summer will be here with all its accoutrements.  As my schedule becomes tight months in advance, please contact me well in advance of any events. I would love to be able to serve your needs, so let me know as soon as possible.

Last but not least, my travels will take me to Hot-Lanta at the end of the month. Look out Georgia, here I come.
