Bethany says: “I really think that My Mind's Eye had me in mind when they designed their latest collections. (I suppose this is a little egotistical...) However, I'm not kidding when I say that I fell in love with each and every collection the moment that I saw it. And don't get me started on actually creating with them! Heaven...pure heaven. The following two projects were languishing for months in my unfinished drawer due to a lack of inspiration. That is, until I got my hands on Lost & Found's Portobello Road and Alphabet Soup! Suddenly, I was filled with inspiration and the projects came together within hours. It was a fabulous creative experience. I've been creating furiously ever since. Thank you My Mind's Eye!”
My favorite collection? It’s sooooo hard to choose my favorite collection because all the collections speak to different parts of me. But, probably the most versatile collection is Lost & Found.
