dear summertime,

-
i love you like sunshine on a cloudy day.
some things i am looking forward to this summer:
july 10 - 13: cruise with family to the bahamas
(i took this photo on the last and first cruise i was on in 2005)
august 15 - 22: surfing trip with family to costa rica(photo taken with water camera at witches rock 2004)
raindance 2 music & art festival in tampa, florida

this one will be bigger and better than the last Raindance more music, more art, more peace owls, more bubbles, more sunshine, more camping, more peace, and more love.

october 3: stitch rock indie craft fair & bazaar
this will be my first time with an art booth at stitch rock and i am thrilled! it is the ultimate indie craft show in downtown delray beach, florida located in a vintage gymnasium.

here is my curious kitten dandelion and chloe modeling next to a painting i did yesterday. it represents being free like a bird. i had fun painting lots of colorful feathers. :)

my peace owls are featured in the handmade section of boho mag's spring issue! this magazine is my favorite and it is a dream come true to be inside of it. it is an eco friendly fashion/ lifestyle magazine and its pages are printed on 100% recycled paper. you can find it at bookstores and newstands nationwide. i pick mine up at barnes and nobile. this issue is fresh on the newstands today. if you go to pages 20-21 you will find my peace owls and me. this issue is packed with lovely spring time, sparkles, pastels, paris, macarons and more. you can see it online too at http://www.bohomag.com/ . it still is unreal to me that i made it on the pages of a magazine so feel free to pinch me. ahhh. i'm so happy. :) peace & love!

i wish i was still in paradise

i am back home from costa rica. it was beautiful. i will miss this sunrises, palm trees, fresh fruits, avacado, bannana smoothies, shell walks with sisters, little sister saying 'i am gonna fall in love with him' about every other boy she saw, waves, warm water, sunshine, surfing with dad and rick, zip lines through the rainforest, waterfalls, climbing to the top of the waterfall, bicyles, friendly dogs, mountains, free birds, wild horses, coffee con leche with mom and sis, sand castels, black beans and crackers, sunsets, feathers and uno. i will miss all that and more. costa rica is a lovely place i wish my home was more like it. People really work together there always lending a helping hand and working together as a community. Also the main transportation is by bike. It is a wonderful thing to see more bikes in a parking lot than cars. I wish more people would cherish there bikes. And how all you really need is love and family. They build a home around that and thats all you...
