Letter from the Editor
September 2016
I can hardly believe it is September!
Summer 2016 has truly been a whirlwind. Now we are preparing for fall. These days fall seems to
launch us right into the holiday countdown. In fact, as of yesterday the Pumpkin Spice Latte is now
available at Starbucks!! My favorite holiday drink that used to come out in November, then they
moved it to October 1st, and now it apparently comes out on September 1st!
I know many of our artists have young kids that are now back in school and some have ushered older
kids off to college and are now empty nesters. Some are grandparents and have reveled in summer
visits with grandchildren.
Two weeks ago, I watched my oldest son marry, and welcomed a precious new daughter into my
family.
August passed at lightening speed and while it was full of JOY I am so very happy to welcome the
month of September.
Yesterday, I was forced to spend a couple hours in the hospital waiting room while my husband had
shoulder surgery and I spent the entire time in a stack of my favorite magazines. Beautiful table
settings, fall home decor, holiday clothing-oodles and gobs of color!!
Color is what inspires me most!! If I could be on color overload I would be, but that’s just not
possible; I know I dreamt in technicolor last night!!
My creative juices are running at mach speed, and my artist spirit is demanding that I now commit to
long hours back in the studio. I could not be more happy to oblige!
