I’m so excited to be part of the A Borgata family! This is such a cool place. I end up coming home with something new every time I go in there.

Tomorrow is the last day to shop at Heart to Home Local Artisan Market. I am so very thankful to have been a vendor for the last two years and am incredibly sad to see the store close. I am excited to see what Heart to Home will be doing next, but I will miss everyone in the meantime. Thank you, Kristin Dinkins, Chris and all the Heart to Home employees, for a wonderful two years and here's to many more wonderful adventures together!

Don't forget about the Lavendar Festival tomorrow! Heart to Home Local Artisan Market will be in Booth 10, with products from several of the store's artisans (including me). Shopping at the store is fun, but getting to shop at this festival is an added bonus!

Can't believe it's the middle of July already! I took a trip to Nathrop recently and found a really great rock shop. They had some really different specimens and I picked up a few. On my way to Nathrop, I stopped in Fairplay at one of my favorite bead and rock stores and picked up some really pretty amethyst and some beautiful new seed beads. I'm so excited to take all these gems (pun intended) and create them into new tree sculptures. Stop by Heart to Home Local Artisan Market frequently to see the new pieces that come out of this fun trip.

Don't forget about the Red, White & Blue Art & Food Market tomorrow Heart to Home Local Artisan Market. This is a great chance to meet local artisans, some who have booths in the store, and others who will just be there for the day. Unfortunately, I won't be there but please go inside the store and check out my booth. I've added some new tree sculptures that I'm pretty excited about. The shadow boxes can be hung on the wall or sit on a sofa or end table.

Don't know what to get Dad for Father's Day? How about a unique tree sculpture? I have several types of sculptures from scenes in shadow boxes to scenes on wood slabs to trees on very cool rocks. Stop by Heart to Home Local Artisan Market and get a special gift for a special Dad!

I've been busy the last few months developing a technique for making aspen trees which are very different from the trees I usually make. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Stop by Heart to Home Local Artisan Market to see my new Dancing Aspens collection. This shadow box is one of my latest creations. It's mixed media, 3D art and sculpture all rolled into one.
