📣 Watercolor Feast Book Tour!!📕 🎨
I'm excited to announce my upcoming book tour dates! Workshops, dinners, watercolor classes, meet-ups and more...Get your tickets now!
Hi friends,
As you may know, my new book comes out next month and I have been busy planning fun events to share it with the community. With this book tour, I am doing things a little differently — fewer straightforward book signings and more experiences. I want to really SIT DOWN with you and TALK, PAINT, COOK and EAT together! I have 4 cities booked so far, with more event locations coming throughout the year. I hope you can join me!
DENVER:
Sunday, April 6, 2025 / 3pm: Book Signing + Talk at Pages and Petals.

Almost-Spring Recipes!
A couple weeks ago it was sub-zero and today it’s 70 degrees! Spring is teasing us! I have a few tasty recipes for this in-between time.
We are looking forward to St. Patrick’s Day next week. Every year growing up my mom made (still makes!) Blarney Stones, which you may have heard me mention before. Apparently her grandma made them for her when she was little and they have been passed down for generations. They are the most disgustingly sweet thing you can imagine…are you ready? Here’s how to make them:
Cut Twinkies (yes, Twinkies) in half. Cover each in vanilla icing, then roll in chopped, salted peanuts. That’s it! FAMILY TRADITION! What can I say….but be warned, you won’t be able to eat just one. Whoo!
Wishing everyone a very happy weekend, and happy first day of spring next week! Yay!
xx

The Filoli event sounds dreamy!
Signed up for the launch party in Madison. So excited!
