I was so lucky to meet Sage Grayson at a CreativeLive class almost two years ago. I had already been following her blog, so I immediately went up to her to say "hi" (Sage, thanks for not being creeped out when I said, "I feel like I already know you!"). I immediately loved her positive energy and…
For this week's 13 on Thursday, I will share random facts about me. This is for all of you who were wondering about the woman behind the business and wanted to know more than what is listed on my about page. 1. The picture above is my dog and (lazy) assistant, Nola. When she is not…
