updates from the studio

Its time for a little update before I forget everything that is going on!! I have been really busy over here and I honestly have no idea how I am juggling everything (some things not so well-like email- I promise I'll get back to you!) because there is a whole lot of this going on

In between the kisses, cuddling, silly noises and soothing (its really quite sickening) I am managing to get a lot done. Here are a few updates-

I have been doing a little cleaning up on my blog and wanted to just share a few changes and updates that might make your browsing a little easier!

Notice that I have a frequently asked questions section. I get asked so many questions on a daily basis about my supplies, my background, etc, so I have included many of the most frequently questions in the section. This section is always getting update with new questions so make sure you check back.

Want to look back at my tutorials, recipes, videos or my sketchbook? Well, I have organized everything so all you have to do is "click" instead of search!

I also have many of my most popular posts organized by topic that you can find under labels.

Also if you want to browse by topic, word, name, color, etc on my blog you can enter your search topic into "search this blog".

The right hand column of my blog is dedicated to all of my lovely sponsors! Take a moment to browse through all the lovely talent! Interested in becoming a sponsor? email me at alisaburke@gmail.com for information.

dairy/gluten free muffins

So if you didn't hear, our little Lucy has struggled with reflux issues since birth. Its been a challenge over here but with time, patience and LOTS of altering the way we do things- she is getting better and better every day. The biggest alteration has been my diet which now has TONS of restrictions- the big ones are dairy and wheat (not so fun for a gal who likes to pig out on cheese and bread!)

So I have been on a hunt for recipes that will satisfy my taste buds and keep Lucy happy. My favorite so far is one that I actually came up with after doing my research and it is YUMMY- dairy free and gluten free pumpkin muffins (they still have sugar but thats ok with me!)
