Prince is one of the best musicians of all time, and is a musical inspiration to me. Involving him and one of my favorite movies, Happy Feet, into a Daily Create was fun. This song really speaks volumes to me, and has a special place in my heart. I Hope you like it as well.

I really love anything that’s chocolate, and being able to incorporate chocolate in this Daily Create was great. I would have to say that chocolate is sort of my kryptonite, so if an angler had it as bait, and I was a fish, I would definitely bite the hook.

I don’t have any kids, and I didn’t want to even think about that because I am so young and I have some life to live still before having babies. I have lived life and learned so many things over the past years, and the paradox below is something that resonates with every day that …

I have always loved a good phrase, or wise words, and good poems. In short little phrases you can get so much from it without so much being said/written. I am not very good with words or remembering them, but when they have music behind them and a catchy tune, it becomes easier remember. Words …

The sounds on the Moon Graffiti track are used in such an effective way. I thought it was real recording of what happened, but it was obviously not.
