It&#8217;s been great to feature all these women (sorry guys!) and get to know them even better as I write about them.  I hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed my go-to blog list.  Let&#8217;s load up the last one&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/business-cards-july-27.jpg\" alt=\"business-cards-july-27\" title=\"business-cards-july-27\" width=\"510\" height=\"383\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cynthomas.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/business-cards-july-27.jpg 510w, https:\/\/cynthomas.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/business-cards-july-27-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nI look forward to reading the blog, Laura Brown Art, for a bunch of reasons.  Mostly, I dig how authentic she is, whether she&#8217;s writing about music, print-making, air-conditioning or life transitions.  Laura recently made the big leap and quit her day job to open an Etsy shop of her art.  I&#8217;ve enjoyed going along for the ride through her journey, as it&#8217;s similar to my own.  Plus, she makes pretty paper.  Those are her hand-colored business cards up there &#8211; love them!<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn her honest writing about her history and family, I&#8217;ve discovered that we are tied to the same places &#8211; Wisconsin, Colorado and that space that you have to jump into because it feels right, practicality be damned!  I think a lot of women can relate to making a leap into a line of work that they love.  Just look around at all the talented souls sharing beautiful goods &#8211; it&#8217;s almost overwhelming.  And Laura makes her trip seem funny and real and frustrating and joyous.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/baby-poppy-2.jpg\" alt=\"baby-poppy-2\" title=\"baby-poppy-2\" width=\"510\" height=\"383\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cynthomas.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/baby-poppy-2.jpg 510w, https:\/\/cynthomas.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/baby-poppy-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe card above is from Laura&#8217;s Etsy shop.  I can&#8217;t wait to see more of her paper goods and she also has categories for housewares and supplies, that are empty for the moment.  I&#8217;m just dorky enough to be really excited about what she&#8217;ll list in there.  So, check out the lovely, self-deprecating blog <a href=\"http:\/\/laurabrownart.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.  And you can find her Etsy shop <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laurabrownart.etsy.com\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI wanted to thank all the ladies I&#8217;ve featured this week for being so gracious about my sneak attacks on their blogs.
