I'm feelin the love for our baby who is quickly growing up. We are at our 7 year, PAPAYA! anniversary. We've accomplished so much and triumphed in so many ways. We've been working hard to learn as fast as we can how to be a positive company, how to nurture our creativity, how to be true to an ideal, a vision, care for employees and fans. This image reminds me of some of my earlier designs. (But of course it's new) I wanted to tread on that initial spirit for a minute to reflect back. I feel newly invigorated and ready for the changing face and heartbeat of our company. It's a wonderful life that I have thanks to the people who believed in us from the start, when not everyone "got it". We've been able to stay true to our wacky ways and find balance in our ambitions of art, beauty and business. And we see no end to our madness. We are so pumped to be tinkering away on oodles of new things for people to enjoy in the future. Thank you for being there (and here) for all of us at PAPAYA!
And thank you for making my life a visually more attractive place!

You are so inspiring - Thank you for all the wonderful work, your cards are one of the few I will buy when I'm too tired to make a homemade one for loved ones!
