Happy 2010!! I want to
express my gratitude to you for being a part of my artistic journey
over the past 8 years. Little did I know that when I decided to quit my
corporate job in 2001, I would be blessed to meet so many wonderful people and
share my passion with a worldwide audience. It's amazing to me every time I receive an email,
teach a workshop, see a photo of artwork or hear a story from someone who has been inspired by
my art and book Collage Unleashed.
So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to share my
stories and be part of your art world...for your support, smiles,
hugs, notes and the daily inspiration YOU provide me. I am looking
forward to 2010 and all the new opportunities and adventures that I
will encounter in my creative journey. wishing you and yours a blessed, creative & prosperous 2010 filled with LOVE, light and laughter...
LIVE your DREAMS!
Artfully...xoxo~Traci p.s. CHECK OUT my special gift to you at the end of the newsletter!

at the core of creativity. It is not just about managing your time or
setting up a studio space, it is about your mindset and about making
room in your life for your craft. Enjoy active sidebars alongside
photos of the work and workspaces of the featured artists, as they
speak with refreshing candor about how they carve out creative time and
space in their own lives.
