Braids as Balloon Strings

She seems content floating amongst the clouds, I just hope something doesn't come by and pop one of those balloons! (gasp!)

Autumn Walk In The Park

Today I wore colored tights and snapped photos of the colorful leaves...



My day in turn inspired me to sketch away in the trusty moleskine


which in turn lead to a new PBL blog header

Whew, I've been busy today! :)

Inspire Me Thursday:Gratitude

This Thanksgiving I am grateful for my little sister Dani. It has been a crazy year with a lot of changes and we have been there for each other even though we are living 2000 miles apart. I am lucky to have such a good friend in my sister.
