Spark No. 2

I've spent the last two days with over 200 pairs of shoes.


Each pair is as unique as it's owner. Some are fancy with high, high heels. Others are simple and understated.

Every single one has traveled a different road -- they've seen bumps and steep hills, and beautiful sweeping views.

But as different as all these shoes are, they have something in common -- they belong to women who love to create, with a desire to share it with others.

Thank you Sparkers for rekindling the flame within me.

It was another wonderful year.
