I can feel it, I can see it, I can smell it...and I can almost taste it! Spring is waiting in the wings...and after another tough winter in the northeast, we are all more than ready. Finally, that groundhog got it right!

The growing light invites us all to stretch our wings after the winter season. For me, it means more energy, fresh new ideas and that joyful feeling that spring fever ushers in!We have so many new projects and ideas germinating at the Studio that I'm about to burst!

I am working on some colorful new paintings that I am anxious to share with you, and there are many collections of new patterns in development that we hope to turn into fabric. Just in time for spring, the other day we received samples of my latest gift bags from American Greetings, (which I hope you'll agree are bright and cheery) and we look forward to my 2011 Mother's Day card display coming out soon.

Also this spring, you can find my exclusive new line of cards and boxed stationery debuting at Papyrus stores. I am super psyched about that! In addition, we are anxiously awaiting samples of the new line of gift products we are proud to have developed with Westland Giftware.
