Melissa Leistikow of DreamPrism Design Meliss Leistikow's journey into jewelry making started as merely a way to pass the time after moving to a new state nearly 15 years ago. But, it didn't take her long to realize that her hobby had become a true passion. She has since returned to her home state of Arizona, and continues to build a thriving creative jewelry business with the support of her fiance and her two children. As a self-taught artist, Melissa's creations range from beautiful beaded pieces to colorful ceramic pendants. She enjoys experimenting with new techniques and mediums, always intent on creating that special, one-of-a-kind piece to expand her jewelry line. You can often find her at craft shows and charity events, as well as her online stores.

Color Yourself Happy! Adding color to your wardrobe can brighten up your day and make you feel amazing, but figuring out how can be intimidating. Take the following tips to incorporate more color every day with ease. 1) Start with a neutral color to ground everything. Neutrals can be the classic black, grey, white and beige, of course. But, if you want a break from tradition, try powder pink or pale buttercup yellow. 2) One of the easiest ways to add color to whatever you're wearing is to add a bold necklace! Wear just one or layer them for a major statement. 3) Tie a scarf on the handle of your handbag! The style icon Babe Paley first started this trend back in the day, and it's still going strong today. Tie it in a knot around the base of the handle to brighten your bag! 4) Nothing brightens up a dreary rainy day like a bold umbrella! Choose from a wide array of the drizzle deflectors in every possible color, pattern and fabric! 5) Chase away the Monday blues with a brilliantly colored coat! Ditch the black parka for a raspberry trench. Pair it with a gorgeous yellow tote for extra flair! 6) Treat your feet to a bit of color! Keep it classic with patent loafers in a bright color or go all out with stunning strappy sandals! 7) Add color with a cardigan! This piece is easy to take on and off throughout the day, especially with Spring's fluctuating temps. Drape it over your shoulders for chic appeal! 8) Statement earrings are a gorgeous and easy way to frame your face in color! 9) Let your wrists do that talking with a pair of colorful cuffs! 10) Pucker up! Add a bold punch of color to your lips, while keeping the rest of your makeup simple will guarantee a smile!

Brighten up Your Spaces Adding color to your living or office space (even your car!) can be as easy as 1,2,3! 1) Throw pillows add a gorgeous pop of color no matter where they land. You can easily add and subtract any color to any combination. Add them to sitting areas, floors and even your passenger seat! Choose from a stunning array available from Adorable Dee=Signs by Denise Ciccone! 2) Ceramic jars can be used anywhere to hold anything. Use them in the kitchen for utensils & tools. on your vanity for makeup brushes, and your office for pen & pencils. 3) Shawls and scarves are another great way to add color anywhere. You can toss these over any sitting area, office chair, or drape them over curtain rods. 4) Fragrant colorful soaps, like these from Tranquility Mountain Soap in Todd, NC will give your powder room some punch.

5) Planters set on either side of your front door add a welcoming touch for your visitors! Choose from one color pots or vibrant, bold patterns. Keep the greenery simple to show off the pot iby planting hostas, aloe or even parsley. 6) Add a spot of color to your bookshelf by wrapping colorful paper around your books! 7) Frame wallpaper samples for a fun and easy art project! Use one or many to create a collage. You can also do this trick with pages from a coffee table book or calendar. 8) Flowers always brighten up any space! If you're allergic or don't want to worry about changing out the water, go for the fakes! Many craft stores have beautiful artificial stems that fit the bill perfectly. 9) Add a splash of color to your curtains! Hang curtain panels in a neutral color and use brightly colored oblong scarves as tie backs. 10) Layer colorful throws everywhere you want to cozy up! Drape the blankets over chairs or across your bed!
