SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Naturally ME = Girl Power!

For the past several years, some of my SKCreations products have been available for purchase in the Craft Store at the Brentwood Arts Exchange at the Gateway Arts Center, located in Brentwood, MD.  I really love this place and feel very fortunate to be a part of this art community.  I was there recently to deliver some new products for the store, and the Craft Store Coordinator mentioned that a woman had recently purchased two of my Naturally ME Note Cards for her granddaughter.  She planned to frame them and hang them on her granddaughter's bedroom wall.  The grandmother has been collecting cards and images with positive representations of African American women for some time, and she frames and hangs them on her granddaughter's wall to encourage a sense of pride in her heritage and culture.  I am always touched when I hear stories of how my creations enriched someone's life in some way, but this was one of the most touching stories I've heard.  I'm honored to have some of my work contribute to the building of a young girl's positive self esteem, and it really exemplifies what my Naturally ME series is all about.  It really made my day. :-)

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: UNITY Note Cards

My new UNITY designs are available not only on t-shirts and bags, but also note cards.  In addition to selling them in the SKCreations online boutique, they're also available at the Brentwood Arts Exchange at the Gateway Arts Center in Brentwood, MD.  On one of my recent visits there, I was told that a woman had purchased one of the cards to give to a co-worker who she had really rubbed the wrong way.  She didn't share what she had done, but she was very hopeful that the UNITY card, along with a written apology, would result in forgiveness by the person she had angered.  I hope it helped.  Even if you don't have to apologize to someone, these cards can be very handy to have around to be used for any unforeseen occasion.  You can purchase them separately, or you can get the set of six which includes two of each of the three designs, and a reusable drawstring pouch.  For more information, click here to visit the shop.
