I think it’s going to be a blast–and its the perfect little challenge for getting this year under way. Here’s to 365 patterns in 2013! yahoo!!

Well, this morning I am headed out to NY with my daughter Maggie, and my good friend Alma Loveland (and amazing graphic designer herself) and her daughter. We are headed to a few art shows- Surtex and the New York stationery show. I am excited to learn a lot and relax a little!
Here is what my little artist and I did yesterday in preparation for the show:

Have a great weekend!!
