Lawn Care Business Logo | Volunteer Valley Lawn Care & Hauling

I enjoyed working on this logo so very much! The “winner” is at the top!

New Business Venture?

Packaging Concepts for SPONAUGLE skincare.

I have been playing around with the idea of selling my own skin care items lately. These tariffs have decimated my income and the way I do business entirely. I have been making my own skin care and lotion for years and always wish to share what I’ve learned with others: especially when I see someone suffering with acne.

I have acne all throughout college and never could get a handle on it. Until I found oil cleansing and the use of natural ingredients to help my skin feel more normal. I make skin cleansers, lotions and lotion bars. I also make my own homemade remedies for situations that come up in my family’s everyday lives. Treating plantars warts, headaches, minor cuts and scrapes. Even making my own natural “vaseline” and chest cold rub. Beard oils, sore muscle rubs.

It may be time to shift my main focus for a bit until things change in our country. All my work from previous years has focused on small businesses and their needs. No one is buying or ordering with tariffs. Which, in turn, means I am not working on things for them any longer. I sure hope either returns.

For now, maybe I will have some luck with my new business venture in skincare and natural remedies. Fingers crossed. Here are some packaging design concepts I had made and am feeling liek need tweaks, but it’s a start.

Magnetic Home Decor Signs

My husband just finished making my son, Theo, (ago 8) a loft bed for his room. While finishing up the unpacking of his items I made this addition. I sell these letters and magnetic boards on Etsy and thought it would be such a fun idea - to have a magnetic board in his room that he can play with and make different sayings. Really fun. I hope he loves it.
OH, we call him, BABYCAKES - a.k.a. the Babies Cakious. So, so fitting to make the first message be just for him when he gets home.

NO MORE META | Goodbye

I am off Facebook & Insta from here on out. Not, they may still exist - but that’s cause I literally have been locked out. Facebook account has been hacked yet again, and no matter my tries I cannot get it unlocked. Hacker tuned the 2-factor on to go to their phone. Not mine. It’s lost. This is the second time this happened to me. I am just done with Meta. They have no customer service for help and I am just over them now. Suck-it Zuk. I’m out.

I did however, download lots of my videos for use on my website. Score.

POLITICS ON MY MINE • MY AMERICA 2025

Has anyone else out there been struggling with all that’s been going on in America? I dream of it at night. I worry all day. Is the America I love going to disappear? I am so tired of the current hate and discrimination that’s been growing constantly. Wish we could all respect each other. We may not all agree, but treating others with respect is nice.
I made this piece of art above to help kind of get out all the things in my head. Zoom in, look at it all. It’s a lot. My mind wonders towards all the legally valid residents with visas, green cads, etc. being taken off the streets. The students just making their voices heard. Not allowing them to have their due rights under our constitution. It is not acceptable. I don’t know how we got here.
I am out of words. I am disappointed that any person in America, that is proud to be an American could possibly think this is okay?

New Client Spotlight | Cindy @ Daffodil's in Del Mar

Cindy needed a new revamped logo & I was so happy to oblige! She loves vintage fonts, bows and a feminine style, but don’t let that trick you into thinking her shop doesn’t cater to males too! She does facials for men and has many items tailored to them as well.
Not only did Cindy need a logo, but I have been helping her with some other things too! So exciting to share more.

Cindy has thriving business within her shop in Del Mar too. It’s called Silver Lining Ageless Skin Care. She offers a variety of amazing facials & treatments for woman & men.

New Book in the works here

This little cutie is in my new book I am working on currently and was such a fun illustration to make. Her sweet blush kissed cheeks and gorgeous hair are so adorbs!

Happy Birthday Hooray

I have been working on some fun new Birthday designs - this one here features my sweet kitties, Pickle & Peanut. More to come!

Starting a new book

I have started my next book, all about my own little guy, Theo. He’s 6 years old and full of great advice for kids on how to be a little dude in a big world. I cannot wait to share it once it’s all done.

My first book publication is almost ready!

I am so very excited to share my first published book called Punky Poodle’s Book of Big words! I am in the final process of finishing it and it’ll be published September 13th - my own (punky’s birthday)! That’s what I call my daughter, Siri. My son, Theo, even makes an appearance as a blue poodle inside the book. This has been a long awaited dream of mine and I am so happy I could do so.

Here are some sneak peeks at some of the pages.

Christmas was such a fun time this year

Here’s some of the items I made for Christmas last year and was able to photograph for fun. This year I just sat back and enjoyed family and fun without making new items for Christmas. It was everything I hoped it would be.
