If you’ve learned anything about me over these last nine years (I know!?) you know that I’m a fashionista. And if you believe that, I’ve got a snow-capped mountain to sell you with great views of Canada.
Truth is, I’m a little design-challenged. My sister-in-law, Mel, is amazing. She helped pick all the colors for the walls in my home over in Lincoln and is a professional graphic and product designer.
