01 winter has begun

just this week, i saw frost on car windows, snowflakes floating in the air (not often do they stick) and my very own breath. i'm pretty sure this is a sign that winter has begun.

this is one of my favorite times of the year. the weather gives me an excuse to stay in to paint and the holidays allow me to make gifts. also, a majority of my ideas seem to come to me in the winter months. i'm really excited to see what i can come up with this year.

i'm excited to announce the soon-to-be arrival of new apparel. in just about a week, you can bundle up with a new shirt or hoodie. there will be a very limited supply of each design, so get them before they're gone!

My young days were great. Riding mattresses down the staircase, constructing my very own pterodactyl costume out of green felt, getting to be the "block" in my elementary school's christmas performance and of course . . .
