A New Year and lots of reflections
I'm not the best writer and it has kept me from posting lots instagram posts about how I feel or keeping up with a (public) journal of sorts but when Jay was born I journaled almost every day for over 4 months and then after that weekly if not monthly. I was so confused what had happened to us and why we had such hard baby. Every baby born after us, I waited with hesitation that they would some how talk about and go through what we were going through but they all seemed to enjoy every minute and not mention that their baby screamed all day every day- I was exhausted so I journaled in case the doctor asked specifics and I could reference it. Now I love journaling, it is the best release for me. I don't keep up with it like I want to but when I do, everything becomes clear.
As this new year approaches I can't help but have a few goals. I want to do one thing and it is to get better at photography. It is something I get so frustrated with and respect in others and really really want to get good at. My goal is to take one good photo a day, I am thinking of posting my top three each week on instagram and here. Hoping it will be fun!
I also hope to work on being more confident in all areas of my life. I realize that no one likes a copy cat and most can see right through it so I'm hoping to follow my heart and be proud of my own style deep in side of me. I hope to be confident in my work, as a mom, a wife and friend and also in myself- truly in myself.

Hi! and why a new site... again?
Hi! Welcome! again!... I hope this site is the last one I create for a long long time. Why, you ask do I have a new name and new site, well it is kind of a long story but I will try to explain.
I created my first first amedetails site when I was so so excited to take my work to the next level. I created a shop and a site to go along with it. Then, I thought, that I should have my own url and that is when I decided to take on Wordpress. I thought I was savvy enough to learn something new and buy a template and figure it out. Well, I didn't realize that learning the internet language was like learning a foreign language and I just didn't have the time or motivation for it. My Wordpress site got hacked and poof, everything on there was gone. So I decided it was time to come to squarespace... when I wanted to transfer my domain over, I wasn't exactly sure how to do that. My idea was I would let it expire and then re buy it on squarespace but someone else who is smarter than I swooped it up and put it up for sale for $700! straight up stole my domain. Now, I love my work and my site, but figured I was ok rebranding myself and starting fresh, so here we are now: ame creative studio. I'm excited because this site finally reflects the most true me. A site that features not only my calligraphy but all my creative ventures.
Another reason for a new site (and why I am not working much) is because I am not as motivated. You see, back when I was super busy and things were taking off my most popular works as stolen and reposted (without credit) and literally copied and sold by almost 10 different people. I was (and still am) so bummed and discouraged and thought I really need to figure this whole thing out a bit more. I realize that people will still steal my work but I need to be in a good creative place to keep creating instead of depending on my best seller to pull through for me.
I'm hoping to update this special corner of the internet with some of my favorite projects and write more often. Since having Jay, I have had an urge to write more than ever and I am hoping to hone in on that.
Thanks for visiting! And if you want to work together or create something please reach out. I am working a lot right now even without my shop being opened mostly by word of mouth and friends or family projects which is a lot of fun- so send me a message.
