Two Fab Bloggers, Studio feature and My Irish Dad....

First of all, I'd like to thank, Lori, for featuring my studio, in this week's "Featuring Studio Spaces"
 Every week she generously posts a blog about an artist's workspace. It is such a wonderful chance to see how creative everyone is and how we all solve various storage and decorating dilemmas! Lori has a great blog, so make sure you take a look at it and past studio features. You will be hooked!
Next up, Cori . She is my daughter and another great blogger! Every year I think of writing a tribute to my Irish father, and have not gotten it together! (bad daughter....!) Thank goodness, she wrote a beautiful post in a way I never could. You will see were the writing gene came from, although I think it skips a generation!

  So, Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all of you Irish bloggers and readers out there!! And make sure you stop by these exceptional blogs!

introducing!!! My Daughter and fellow Bogger

She has been my best friend for a long time, she is a loving wife, she is the mother of my grandson, and now she is a fellow blogger!Her blog is a mixture of craft ideas, home inspiration, and tips for young mothers. Cori recently awarded me with a "Stylish Blogger"  award.(thank you, Cori!) Instead of passing it along, I want to introduce you to her.  Where You Hang Your Heart

1. She was the perfect child. Content, sweet, funny, studious, and mostly non-rebellious. 

Sorry, Cori, I couldn't resist!!!

2. Cori got the gift of writing from my Dad, Bill.She majored in English at Sac State. Cori wrote a great newsletter for her friends in high school, and has a wonderful and interesting writing style that you will love reading!
3. She went to all of her proms with a nice group of girls (that are still friends). And we bought all of her beautiful dresses from an awesome second hand bridal shop that used to be in Old Fair Oaks. She would have gotten her wedding dress there, but it unfortunately burned down.

5. Which leads to the next fact, besides her weakness for Anthropologie (who doesn't love them!) she has always been down-to-earth, thrifty and very responsible.
6. She loves books, and is always reading or taking classes to learn new things. She is taking a painting class,(she is a very good artist) and joined a Mommy's group, learned how to be a great cook, and wants to learn how to sew next! (I'll get her started when I visit next week)! Yay!!!
7. She is a WONDERFUL mommy! (of him)

8. She loves her Starbucks coffee 

With that said, hop on over to her new blog and enjoy! Where you hang your heart

I will be visiting her wonderful family in 2 days, can hardly wait!!! Stay tuned for new pics from the great Northwest.
