As a design professional, I have to constantly grow and update my skills. One of the reasons why I wanted to create this blog was to challenge myself in learning the WordPress software and to design my own blog theme, as I have been very inspired by all the creative and beautiful blogs out there. This blog theme was greatly influenced by Russian culture, including the choice of colors and graphics. I wanted it to look warm and personable. As far as graphics, I used some of my personal photographs and keepsakes, including the items from my Russian heritage.

September 2010 marks a 2-Year Anniversary since my blog went live. I have to say… it’s been fun! And I want to thank my readers for giving me your feedback. It puts a smile on my face when I hear someone try one of my recipes or smiles back after reading one of my posts. I have to say, this has been very therapeutic and fulfilling for me to be able to share, write, create, and pour my Russian Soul out there.
