Time has flown by as I have been designing, moving (and decorating those spaces), trying some different projects and spoiling my new granddaughter; and here are some of the results.

Inspired by the food stylist and photographer Anna Pustynnikova in her video with the renowned photographer Karl Taylor, I worked with the locally famous photographer Eric Pound from EricPound.com and began new area of design for me.

We then went on to one of my favorite things - product photography.

Some of the things were packed away in storage or laying around the house. We also did several stock images including some for the holidays.

These images and others are available for purchase on Shutterstock.com and you’ve made it ‘personal’. Now you know the designer and photographer that produced them!

The bottom line to this story is that if you have a talent that you love to use, try expanding it. If you like to cook, you’re probably cooking for yourself & those in you household already. But what about baking your favorite treats & selling them at a farmer’s market or local restaurant? Or making a meal for someone from your place of worship or your employment? I even knew a dog lover that would make dog food supplements & donate them to the local animal shelter.

There are so many outlets for your talents! Let’s get together & make the world a more beautiful place.
