I am so tickled...

Hello Monday...and what a wonderful week you will be. 

I am so very proud to share this news...

Letty Worley...my wonderful friend and uber talented soft sculpture artist of EarthAngelsStudios.com is featured in the  

newest issue of Where Women Create: Business...and can we say..

10 PAGES!!!

Total wow...here's just a peek...you need to get the mag for the complete story on how Letty...how she started, failed, started again and how with determination and effort, she has persevered and 

truly come into her own with her art and inimitable style.

It all happened because Jo Packham, Letty and myself had a quiet breakfast in Texas this spring when we were guests of Holly Kuhn at the grand opening of her new "Old Glory" store in Burton during Round Top's Spring Antiques Week.

Letty had a chance to tell Jo her story, and Jo knew that this was a story that had to be told to her readers.

Hello happy timing and networking and wonderful women who share.

Hello to imagination and style...Letty you have got them both!

Hello to celebrating the small joys of the everyday...Letty you have taught so many of us that a cupcake can keep you going 

even when the going gets pretty darn tough!

Hello to hard work and late nights, long hours and much effort...

it's so wonderful when these are rewarded.

Hello week...you are going to be a busy one...hope you're rootin' for me...
