The day my daughter was born -  no scratch that - the day I found out she was coming my life changed.  My priorities changed. My goals changed. My attitude changed.  Up until that January I was career oriented, I was happy being carefree with no responsibilities.  I went to work every morning - sometimes hours before I was suppose to be there determined to go as far in the company that I could possibly go.  I was newly promoted to Creative Director of our Advertising Department and I LOVED IT.  I loved the long hours, the hard work, the deadlines, the challenges . . .  all of it.

Then August 29th came and it all changed.  I spent my maternity leave falling more and more in love with her and my husband.  I scrapbooked every moment of her life.  I dreaded the day that I was going to have to leave her.  The only thing that kept me sane was that my sister was going to be her nanny and I knew she would be loved and taken care of while I was away.  In October I went back to work . . .  no determination, no willingness to work a minute past 5, no love for the job.  I knew that something was going to have to change.  I lasted until April and when my chance came I packed up and I went home - never looking back.

We spent our days playing, learning each other, and just hanging out.  However I missed something.  I knew I didn’t want to miss a minute of her life but I wasn’t sure how to combine my need for a creative outlet with my need to be home with her.  Then someone introduced me to Etsy.  I checked out the site and loved it.  A friend of mine asked me to create some artwork for her scrabble tiles, I did.  I suddenly knew what I wanted to do.

I guess as they say the rest is history.

I love being able to sell my artwork and then watch as my artwork is turned into some amazing jewelry pieces.  I am constantly amazed at the creativity of my customers.  I want to do as much as I can to help them succeed and help their business grow.

I want to expand my line into Scrapbooking Supplies, Prints and anything else I can find to put my art on!  This is going to be a journey and I am looking forward to it.

| WHY WILD BLUEBERRY INK |

When I was only a couple of months pregnant I signed up for Baby Center’s weekly progress update.  Each week I would receive an email with how big my baby was, what she could do, how I should feel, etc.  One week a good friend of mine, Hayley, asked “HOW BIG ARE WE THIS WEEK” I told her “the size of a blueberry” and her nickname was created!  Hayley has affectionately referred to her as Blueberry since then.

Once she was born and her personality started to develop we knew without a doubt that the addition of “wild” was need.  She is independent, she is loud, she loves to dance, she loves to chase my 2 dogs and cats, she refuses to do as she is instructed and I love all that about her.
