ROX INK Calligraphy

Yesterday afternoon, I had the honor of emceeing the ribbon cutting for Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Gilbert’s 5-year Anniversary Grand Re-opening!

Showing support for fellow small business owners can be as easy as simply showing up, and we had a great crowd.

These days, I don’t have the luxury of spontaneity, but I did something totally out of character. After the ribbon cutting, I drove home, grabbed my dance partner (he doesn’t dance), and drove back to the studio where we learned steps to several dances, spectated professional dance performances, and danced freestyle to a live band. There was food and liquid treats. The vibe was welcoming; the crowd, encouraging. We had a blast!

Thank you, for creating a fantasticly open environment well-suited for learning and self-expression.

We’ll be back. 💃🏻🕺🏼

Why am I wearing pajamas? created an incredible collaborative experience and I had the honor of contributing my work on an gorgeous floor mirror.

Thanks, and for the feature! Gratitude just doesn’t cover it. ✒️

So, Amilyn recently turned 2️⃣1️⃣! 🎉

So, I know this chick🙋‍♀️; a go-getter, a catalyst, a connector, a fillip. Every time she brings a new project to me, I’m almost certain it takes a few years off of my life😂, but I also know her ideas are going to become something amazing🙌.

This time around, she gifted personalized hot foiled shoes to her workmates and they loved them. “Unstoppable” she says. And I believe her.

Kudos to Karin Gadberry for her vision, and kudos to DeBellevue Global Marketing for creating the kind of team culture in which one can flourish.

It’s all in the details.

Plan ahead to have your bridal party fragrances personalized for the big day.

‼️More Big News‼️

This whole “get out of my own way” thing seems to be working, so we’ve brought on another amazing addition to our team.

Please help me welcome Tracy!

Tracy will be using her skillset to manage marketing events, allowing me more bandwidth to handle creative work and have a life.

Having been a business owner in the East Valley, herself, Tracy brings an abundance of experience and insight to our team, along with her passion for supporting small business and community.

Fun Facts about Tracy: Her blended family includes 7 children and a granddaughter. She loves wine, coffee, dogs, traveling, live music, and spending time with family and friends.

In her spare time - she doesn’t have any - did you read that she’s got 7 kids and a grandchild?! 😂

Her newest obsession is buying all the books she can (and not being able to read as many as she wants).

Let’s give her the warm welcome fuzzies in the best social media way possible!

This, too, is going to be awesome!

‼️THIS IS BIG NEWS‼️
I’ve thought about this for
two. long. years.

How could I get out of my own way enough to let someone help me? How could I let go of a piece of my business (might as well be a body part) and trust someone to be an extension of me, my business, my brand? Ugh.

My options were to hire help or scale back. After accepting that it may not be possible to find the right fit and that I’d have to continue to run myself ragged through this next holiday season, the absolute best case scenario presented itself.
And I acted.

Please help me welcome Amilyn!

Amilyn will be using her skillset to manage a variety of client-related and operational tasks, allowing me more bandwidth to handle creative work ✒️🎨🖌️ and have a life.

She’s not just a pretty face. She’s just completed her AA in General Business🧠 and is currently pursuing a Bachelors in Marketing at W.P. Carey School of Business - ASU.📓

In her spare time, Amilyn enjoys making and editing K-pop🧑‍🎤👩‍🎤👨‍🎤 videos and going to concerts, and her “brainless” hobbies are gaming🕹️and 📖reading.

**Fun fact: she’s been to 24 concerts🎤🎶 in her 21 years of life!

So, the next time you reach out, you’ll likely get a reply from Amilyn. Let’s give her the warm welcome fuzzies in the best social media way possible! 🤗

This is going to be awesome!

We were over the moon to be a bar sponsor for an amazing organization like The Compassion Alliance supporting first responders at their inaugural Compassion Alliance Fundraising Golf Tournament ⛳️

Nothing fancy about this journal.

Until it’s personalized.

Nothing like a tequila tasting to kick-off the month of May! Sprinkle in a little personalization and it’s pure magic.

I reconnected with amazing people and met some new ones.

Seeing my acrylic sign at these events always surprises me. It’s like recognizing an old friend; makes me smile and warms my heart.

Who is joining me on March 2nd for this amazing event?

Last Thursday, I celebrated my tetrahedral birthday with an amazing team at the GUCCI boutique in Scottsdale. There were valentines a plenty!💌

My hunky love of my life accompanied me to Open House last night where we connected with lovely engaged couples and fellow friendors. For some friendors, it was the first time we’d met in person. I’m in a cyclone-state all of Q4, so I tend to reach out less during that time. This New Year has offered opportunities for renewal and, hey! I’m taking them!

Resounding thanks to and all those who stopped by to learn about ROX INK. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Cell phones down. Eyes up. Hearts open.
