Take a look at these cute animal photo’s! I can’t stop looking at these and smiling.Animals are the best and the husband and wife duo (Sharon + Spencer) have made a living photographing these cuddly, cute and stoic animals. What a great idea and what beautiful photography that can fit in any room setting. I am in love with the baby room idea and a large print could be just the thing for behind a sofa. I think I might have to pick one of these up, the only problem is, which one? They are all so good! Check out…

Sometimes I get fun little projects to do at work. Instead of carpeting our conference room, we painted a rug on it! I commissioned Jeff Zimmerman to mimic a vintage rug that I found online.

Here’s what it’s all about, in their own words… What if you could work under the trees rather than florescent lights? Come escape to Camp Make Effect for learning, relaxation, creativity and camaraderie. By day get messy making and trying out new processes and by night get silly…

According to Dream-Catchers.org, Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams, both good and bad. The dream catcher, when hung over or near your bed, swings freely in the air, catching the dreams as they flow by.
