Things that influence me are my kids, their happiness, colorfulness, and vitality. My husband - he comes up with some great quotes and ideas. God - He is the Ultimate artist. And what I see around me - flowers, leaves, trees, birds, fruit, vegetables.

I am extremely thankful for my family. I am very thankful for what God is allowing me to do artistically. What a dream come true for me! That I get the opportunity every single day to use my talent for His glory.

Life is too short to waste time changing the sheets every week. Especially when you have small children who tend to wait until you change the sheets to then wet the sheets.

Open your heart - open it wide; someone is standing outside.

Life is too short to not tell every one you know about Jesus. I need to practice this more.

Look to the beauty of this day, miracles are all around you.

Learn from the rejection and turn it into an opportunity!
