An Inspiring Design ::

I'm officially on the hunt for beautiful & unique dishes. I MUST do this in our home...look at these stairs! What a great & inexpensive way to cover up random wall space. The blueish-green wall color is so cozy & perfect too. Love.

 

Christmas Countdown :: 14 weeks ::

Ok, are you ready for this? In 14 weeks you'll be singing your pretty little hearts out to Joy to the World! WHAT?! I was in shock when I added up the weeks remaining before Christmas day. There's much to be done & I want to enjoy every little moment this year. I know we still need to get through Thanksgiving, but that will be here soooon folks.

I'm in the process of wrapping up my 2009 Christmas photo cards & will post them soon on this here site. It's been a struggle to finish up these designs...outside it's hot/humid & 80+ degrees. So, to jump into the Christmas spirit, I headed over to Hobby Lobby and bought some really cute Christmas ornaments. I love that store. I love that I'll be able to purchase an Easter basket on Christmas day. So strange...

Anyways, I digress. But all that blabbing to announce....the countdown is ON! Every week, from now until Christmas, I'll be your personal countdown clock. I'll suggest fun things to do, sites to check out, share a few funny stories along the way & even offer a giveaway on the site. So, stay tuned. The countdown to your stellar Christmas holiday begins now my friends! xx

a race. a cure.

I have always loved everything surrounding the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization. Something about coming together to save lives, empower people & find a cure is VERY inspiring. I recently had the extreme pleasure of creating a t-shirt logo for an upcoming race. When I was sent the title, I could not even handle how brilliant it was...Jogging for Jugs...by far my favorite EVER. We need to make a bumper sticker out of this one! Just brilliant.

thinking outside of the box ::

That's exactly what this young lady does. She took a unique approach to sharing more of herself beyond the traditional resume. Katie asked me to create a "fact card" where one side stated facts regarding her leadership qualities & work ethic. The other side of the card was a Q&A that I thought was quite cleaver. She deserves a job...and I pray she gets the perfect one!

one lucky baby ::

What happens when an apparel designer at Anthropologie and a graphic designer for Urban Outfitters have a baby? They create one ridiculously cool nursery (and a beautiful baby girl named Charley Mae). From the custom mobile to refurbished vintage finds, Amanda and Dan share how they put it all together.

blogging? yes, blogging.

Who has time for it anymore?! I mean w/ Facebook & Twitter taking over the universe, who has time to sit & write a blog? Oh why yes.............the people who have something to say that's more than 140 characters long! Nice. Well, I love blogs & love blogging. I am committing to do it more often here. Not only to show you what I've been up to creatively but to share with you some amazing things I stumble upon in the blogging sphere. Until then, here are a few bloggers who are doing what they love........blogging.
