gratitude + tiffany patterson

Today, I am grateful for Illustration Friday.

I have met so many people,

and have had many opportunities arise

since I began submitting in 2007.

{thank you Amanda M. for telling me all about it}

I exchanged a few e-mails with Tiffany Patterson{the terrific artist below}a couple of months ago.

I absolutely adore her style!

Tiffany has a fun blog~ Ugly Yellow

and a beautiful portfolio~ Curse Words and Birds

It was great to find out that she lives just a couple of hours away,

and has even made a pit stop in my little town.
A little art friendship has been formed~

I can't wait to have one of her pieces hanging in my house!

I am grateful that I am inspired to work in my new studio.

I am grateful that my thesis is finally coming together.

I am grateful for friends who stop by my house and bring me treats {loaded with sugar}.

I am grateful that I didn't pass out during my endurance swim this morning.

I am grateful for my little nephew~

his first overnight stay with Aunt & Uncle couldn't have been better!

Have a lovely Thursday~
