Gilda Radner

I picked up Gilda Radner's memoir expecting to get more than a few laughs and some inspiration from a lady whose courage on screen set the stage for most of the funny ladies we all admire today.  Gilda's comedic courage was nothing compared to the bravery she showed by even writing this book about her fight with cancer. The memoir was absolutely not what I expected and speaks very little about her career - but my perspective on this woman has forever changed.  She has given a new definition to quite a few words for me, not the least of which is bravery.

Singing Chefs

I'm turning 30 in a few weeks, and this is how I feel about it.

I am not sure if this is supposed to be me or not. I am not a big lady - and I don't have a horse. But for whatever reason, when thinking about my 30th birthday coming up in a only a few weeks, this is what popped in my head. So I am going with it. 

Merry Christmas 2012

Save the Date for Jenna & Steven

Here is a Save the Date card I recently did for some friends. Jenna and Steven are getting married in Jersey City, at a venue right on the water with beautiful views of Manhattan. Congrats to them! And I hope they love their card.

Here is a sneak peek of my 2012 Christmas Card. I definitely gave myself a pretty big challenge this year but I am very excited about it. More to come after Thanksgiving.
