Mixed media artist and children's illustrator, Angela Traunig has a penchant for all things whimsical and silly. Wife and mother to a 2 year old little man, Angie somehow still finds time to create original works of art, prints, jewelry, greeting cards, bookmarks and a myriad of other things featuring her trademark 'knobby knee' Ferntree Studio characters. You can find her artwork here, and her lovely paper flowers here.

In her Ferntree Studio world, you will find humor, love, honesty and the 'Joy of an Art Filled Life.' Angela hopes to inspire other fledgling artists with her tenacity, creativity and belief that if "You put good things out into the world and just leave all the doors and windows open, sometimes something fantastic will slip back in."

Join Andrea Scher for this fall’s session of Superhero Photo!

The Superhero Photo course is all about creating a new way into joy, gratitude, and appreciation. Andrea will guide you through 6 weeks of lessons, photo prompts and activities that will help you become a better photographer and to see your life through a different lens. We will hone our technical skills while opening our eyes to the beauty all around us.

In this course we will find ourselves in that sweet spot where creativity, play and aliveness intersect. I believe that when we are living in this rich space– where we are truly awake– we have more access to joy.

The Superhero Photo Fall Session begins Monday, September 19th. Register today with the coupon code KELLYRAE and you will get a little discount!

Looking for some inspiration?
Do you believe in the universe? serendipity and synchronicity?
Louise Gale is offering this FREE e-book from the "Stories from the Universe" series

Hi everyone, I'm Louise Gale - Artist and Creative Living Energy Coach from "Dream-Inspire-Create" I strongly believe that the universe sends us little messages constantly. For many years I didn’t really listen until the summer of 2009. May 2011 saw my first year anniversary of being out of the corporate world and the launch of my new website.

To celebrate, I asked 11 amazing women who had inspired me on my journey so far to guest post, telling a story of Synchronicity, Serendipity andfollowing their Intuition. Thank you to all the inspiring souls who are part of this series and to my creative community who have supported and grown with me.

Please pop over to sign up to my list to get your e-book of 37 pages of stories, images and lovely inspiration. Thank you Kelly Rae for also being part of this inspiring series.
