Yesterday’s post was heavy. I took a lot out of me to go back to that time in my life. I would like to thank all of you for your support. The emails, comments and messages I have gotten give me the strength to share that level of myself with you. Thank you for opening up to me about your own hardships…That is what TPB is all about. Today, I give you guys something a little more light hearted.
I am sitting at my desk with a gorgeous painting of my logo hanging over my desk and it feels necessary to do another installment of Backbone to The Blonde. Today’s is a two-for-one special because I can’t talk about the painting without first talking about the actual logo.
You probably already know I have an extreme obsession with the girls at Silverbox Creative Studio. I mean how could I not? What is better than two passionate friends teaming up to bring peoples vision to life; whether it be a photograph, an invitation or an entire brand. Working with them was like living through the most wonderful dream. I keep feeling the need to pinch myself.
I have worked with both Corinne and Susan a number of times as there is no better place to go for our Christmas cards every year. Their work is second to none. Somehow they raise the bar every single year with our cards. I mean last year we had a couch in the middle of the woods with champagne and I was wearing a floor length gown…it was pure magic. Their work is both flawless and timeless. I don’t think we could (or would) work with anyone else.
Before I get into the painting I should mention the fate that introduced me to both Corinne (my gifted photographer) and Renea (my blessed artist). Years ago at a tiny Elementary school, five boys became the best of friends. These boys, The Skippack Five, just so happened to have some amazing parents who all became very close friends as a result of the kids friendships. The Five all just graduated high school and had a combine graduation party because over the years our families have all grown into one. My little brother and his goofy group of friends created this insane, loving, over-the-top family that we all cherish. Pretty amazing right? Thanks to them, I had the opportunity to work with some of the most talented people I have ever met.
Okay, now lets talk about my most prized possession; the painting my dear friend Miss Renea did of my logo. Waking up in the morning to see my dream on a canvas over my desk is surreal. What is more motivating than having your goal right in front of you in pink and gold? Nothing. I look at this piece of art everyday and become inspired to push myself. It makes me want to do bigger and better than the day before. Waking up to it has pushed me to knock down more doors to see where this blog can take me. This painting means the world to me because it was put together by a combination of hard work and love from some of the greatest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing.
xoxo,
