I went by the future home of Caio Bella after work today. The place looks great – Leanna has reason to be proud of it. She and Kevin are working so hard to make the spa nice. When everything’s done, it’s going to be a very warm, inviting place. What’s great about the space is that it’s professional-looking without being too sterile; more streamlined than a house, more inviting than a clinic.

We discussed the murals Kevin is going to paint. The Caio Bella mascot will be in several scenes – downtown Rome, under the sea, in a wig shop, in a shipyard – but Leanna needed one more setting. I gave her the brilliant idea of a bakery or pastry shop. After all, everybody loves cupcakes!

I also offered to design her Web site. She’s going to let me leave some business cards in her lobby, and I’ll also have a link to my page on her site. I don’t mind doing it for free because 1. She’s my little sister and 2. I need to build up my portfolio as much as I can.
