Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

What I Wore Wednesday:: Creative Estates Style

Linking up again with Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday! 

I was pretty sure I'd get more than one outfit photographed at Creative Estates this weekend, but it turns out that when you are having the time of your life with sweet, sweet friends, you care more about the conversation and who has the bag of sour gummy worms than taking pictures of your outfits. Oh well! 

Sandy was sweet to take these pictures of my Friday outfit. Mahalo, my friend!

At a conference full of stylish women, it was fun to see each person's personality shine through in their outfits. It was also pretty awesome to see almost everyone sporting at least one handmade accessory -- how fun to be able to support each other and promote handmade!

Soo... I bought my DSLR yesterday!! I finally decided on the Canon Rebel t3 and went with my girl friend, Dahlia into town to purchase it. I'm pretty sure it didn't leave my neck for more than 20 minutes all day. Can't wait to share all my photos with you next week-- I have a few fun posts planned. I'm really excited to not only learn more about photography, but up the ante in my shop photos and also here on the bliggity blog!

Have a fabulous Wednesday, peeps! I am locking myself in my studio and painting the day away. Several custom orders to finish and hoping to get some new 'olelo paintings in there by the end of the week!
