iCardMall is LIVE!

It has finally happened! I am able to share with the world that iCardMall is live and operational.

What is iCardMall? Well, I'm so glad you asked!

You can think of iCardMall as similar to the gift card mall at your local grocery store. The big diferences are that all the gift cards are emailed to your recipient. That means they get their gift card within 24 hours or less, with no shipping time or cost. Oh Yah!

Not only that, for only $0.99 you can add a stylish e-greeting card to your gift card. There is a free one too. The whole thing prints out all on one piece of paper with your personalized message, as an actual greeting card and gift card all-in-one.

If you're really green, you don't have to print anything out at all. With any smart phone, you can view and spend your e-gift card right from your phone.

New technology is so cool. So how about a SpaFinder e-gift card for Valentine's Day? There's still plenty of time to send it and make it personalized. Enjoy! http://www.icardmall.com

Trends for the Next Decade

Cool video by Time Magazine about important trends for the next decade.

Of course, I was attracted because of the important topics is failure. According to Time Magazine, America has lost its acceptance of failure through the financial crisis, demanding accountability. I'm not sure I agree with this one. Accountability is a good thing, and should decrease failure - the financial crisis was really a failure of morality, which is something else all together.

Mixed Media Dollhouses Inspiration

I was so excited to Friday to receive an email from Marian Seiders of Will Roger Middle School in Lawndale, CA. She wrote to me to tell me how my new book Mixed Media Dollhouses has inspired her and her art class to create an amazing Alice in Wonderland themed mansion. Each student in the class created their own room in the mansion!

My heart just filled with pride! This is just so amazing that my book has inspired an entire class of young art students! How thrilled would I be to have my children in an art class with this kind of teacher! The mansion was such a success, that the school principal is planning on having it displayed behind glass all of the upcoming school year.
