It has been a few years now since the start of Belz & Whistles and it seems a fitting time to update my bio and picture. Other than being a few years older, and hopefully wiser, much remains the same. I am still living in Portland, Oregon, by way of Memphis, Tennessee. My art still maintains elements of collage, though it has evolved over time and is still described as being colorful, clever, whimsical and just plain happy feeling! I still love themes centering around home, nature and of course, sweets! I've lost count of just how many cakes and cupcakes inhabit my cards, but one can never have too much sweetness in her life, right? My art has been well received and that brings me great joy and fulfillment!

Although much has remained the same, there are several changes since the line began:

	It has grown tremendously, so be sure and take a look at all our new products!
	We are now with a wonderful national distribution company called "Collage."
	We have and will continue to go "green" (as it is our favorite color, after all)!
	5% of proceeds will be donated to feed hungry children (it seems an appropriate cause given our huge love of food related themes and kids)!

Feel free to contact us at any time with questions, comments, or suggestions. We love to hear from you!

Be happy,
