creativity abounds

I'm surrounded by talented, artistic and creative people, and I think it's giving me a complex. My mom just recently sent a link to photos of her latest paintings on display at Monsoon Galleries.

I can't decide which is my favorite... Irrepressible? Blue Radiance? Reverie? Invitation would have hung perfectly above my fireplace... I want them all. But knowing my mom, I would get no kind of discount. If only I had an extra $1,000... but no, I would probably use that for my Athleta wardrobe.

And now my sister-in-law, Kauti, has started a new small business called Cute Ties. You can check out her ADORABLE bows and hair accessories at www.cutieties.com. They are GORGEOUS and SO affordable! And she even named a few after me and Makenna... how many people can say a hair accessory was named after them? Not many! Here's my beautiful little niece, Lorelei, sporting just one of Kauti's creative creations:


That's the yummiest thing ever. The bow and the baby. I want to nuzzle the tip of my nose into one of those dimples. Kauti, if you die, she is mine. Also, if you die, I would like all the extra bows and flowers you have lying around. I've got to somehow cover that mullet on the child below.

Reverie has my vote! Your mom paints beautifully! My grandma did too. She was incredible. I used to want to paint just like her... but right now I get to play with finger paints with Gianluca. Someday it will be our turn to get our creative juices flowing! But hey you have to be creative to entertain these young kids!
