The Lord has done great things for us

This was done as a wedding gift for a friend of mine. I am looking forward to giving it to her this Christmas.
Thank you for your patience and for all the kind notes I received from you asking when bopbopdesigns would reopen! I am officially painting again and hope to reopen my etsy shop in the new year! Email me at bopbopdesigns@gmail.com if you are interested in something before then.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world".-Mahatma Gandhi

On a daily basis I reflect on this quote by Ghandi. I think it's amazing that he actually summed it up in one sentence when it applies to every action and emotion in life.
For my birthday my Mother sent me this gorgeous bracelet from the fabulously talented Simag. Thank you Mumsy, thank you Sima. I love it and I love the reminder. When I see this bracelet I will remember to act with patience, kindness and compassion.

Thank you.

Ironically I had another lovely surprise in the mail almost a year to this date, check it out.

What change do you wish to see in the world?

I LOVE when clients send me photos of where my paintings have been displayed! Thanks E!

Silvina B. Photography

Silvina's photography amazes me. I think she really manages to capture the soul of her subject through their eyes. I love the comfort you sense between her and who she is shooting.
I had the pleasure of meeting Silvina briefly and I understood immediately how her subjects would be so at ease with her.
This blog post is long overdue, please check out her site.

I just wanted to thank all the bopbopdesigns blog readers for their wonderful support. Life is getting busier and busier with a new family addition on the way and opening a brand new business. I probably will be posting less and less but wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed doing this and "meeting" all of you. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I received the most beautiful necklace in the mail yesterday. It brought tears to my eyes. SimaG is so incredibly talented and kind. Thinking of her and my gorgeous necklaces just brings a smile to my face. I always receive compliments on my original one. I can't wait to wear my new one. They make perfect gifts for a mother. Thank you Sima!!!!
