I have a special preview that you'll love but first, this week slipped by so quickly and truth is, I don't like it! I feel sad when I'm away from my blog and apologize for not writing since Tuesday. Thing is, I've been a bit busier than usual and haven't had much time to compose a post and I hate throwing something up just for the sake of having a blog post. I miss you all! I'm having blog withdrawal though it's only been three days -- it's funny how much a blog becomes a part of life just as much as anything else you grow to cherish. How are you doing? Are you well? I thought I'd tell you some exciting news - I worked with Leslie Shewring to produce a story on creativity that will run in the summer issue of Matthew Mead Holiday magazine! We are both very excited and so I thought I'd share some glimpses of the magazine with you today to whet your appetite for the other features that you can find in the same issue as well.

Isn't this all so inviting and pretty? Matthew Mead does such a nice job on each carefully thought out issue. He really does produce lovely things and I enjoy seeing his touch on an entire magazine - he certainly has the eye for it.

The issue is filled with beautiful color, simple ideas and decorating tips along with recipes and a trip to Trish Foley's house near the Hamptons along with an article about tapping in to your creativity by Leslie and I. You can order online here and issues will be in the mail during the first week of May. I can't wait to see it!!!
