Cutting-Up’s Artist Blog

Plain White T\’s on You Tube

I LOVE my job!  I’m guessing I’m among the luckiest for that reason alone.  I am allowed to live by expressing the call of my soul a) because of the grace and good humor of the Lord who allows it; &, b) allllll these VERY fine & festive folks pictured below!  This team that makes up Cutting-Up is something quite extraordinary!  I’ve heard everyone serves as a vessel for the Holy Spirit… and if we pay attention to our lives and the lives of others and along the way trust our guts - that inner voice - that is when we are acting in God’s will for our lives.  I’m certain that Cutting-Up is blessed by these great people; and, I’m so grateful to be surrounded by their coolness, as we each desire our work and the messages we bring you to truly be an elevating connection and a blessing.  And, here they are, spreading good vibes near & far: I see Colleen and Wendy… I see Beth and April… there’s Steve and Jay… Christie and Nettie…

(Romper Room anyone? -Ok- Just a tiny side note - that chick NEVER said “Jo Dee” on Romper Room… Trust me, I tuned in.  Luckily I’m emotionally unscathed despite being overlooked in the magical Romper Room mirror!  LOL!!!)  

But, hey-hey, my-my… look at these beautiful bunch of big souls!  Gratitude and up’s to my main man, J.C., & big thanks to the uber-coolios below!  OMG, like, I love you-s guys!!!

Here’s a little merry-merry “PEACE!” from Wendy & April who are bundled-up for a busy afternoon in the Cutting-Up Warehouse.  Let’s just say it’s COLD and you could hear teeth chattering!  Good thing their hearts are so warm!  Bundle up, sisters!  Aren’t they adorable?!

Oh, how we love Chicago… new adventures and always welcoming new friends into the Cutting-Up fold to share the positive vibes of our amazing, growing line!  Special heartfelt thanks go out to our cool friend and hip-chick, Bekah, the most adorable bit of sunshine in Chi-town, for helping our postive-vibe traveler, Colleen, at the Stylemax show in this October!  These two made quite a duo and tripped happy-happy as they kept the vibes resonating.  Me? I was blessed to stay behind to continue creating some new works of art for 2009!  Thanks, girls!!!!  ZOMG!  You look SO ADORABLE!  I la la la love you!!!!

This is Colleen, the most fabulous friend anyone could have; and, the kind of business partner who is with you through thick and thin.  Colleen is the yin to my yang… She has a way of helping transfer and express the ideas I dream up to others with a passion and a purpose.  She has the ability to give all the creative effort a direction that the unbridled artist sometimes has difficulty corralling.  She’s the bomb-diggity-bomb! 

There are lots of amazing people now on our Cutting-Up TEAM.  Can’t wait to introduce them all to you over time!
