Here’s to 2008!

I’ve never been one for resolutions. I do however keep a running checklist of sorts in my head… ideas for the house, goals for the blog and the shop, and fun things to do. This year, I’ve decided to write them down and share them. As Holly said, “When you write something […]

Francesca’s Painting

I couldn’t show this until now because it was a gift…

I had created a similar painting a few years ago for little Ross on his first Christmas, so now it was baby Francesca’s turn.
It was a simple process. I created the layout for the 16′ x 20′ canvas in Illustrator with a vector frame […]

Waitin’ for Santa…

As the next four days will be a blur of family and holiday hullabaloo, I thought I’d share our Christmas card with you today (instead of waiting until the 25th).

Alternately, you may be interested in the slightly more risqué version: Waitin’ for Santa.
Happy Holidays, everyone.

Christmas Wrapping

I love wrapping gifts. Naturally you want to choose a gift that you think will delight the recipient, so why shouldn’t the presentation have the same effect?
Each year I choose a theme for my Christmas wrapping. Actually, I hesitate to use the word “theme” here, because I always think of theme rooms (Jungle […]

Font Crush 2!

Two fonts are free (for personal use only): Sanka and White Bold. The other three are suitable for commercial use: […]

Murray Head & Sugar Cookies

My sister just called.
sister: “Who sings ‘One Night in Bangkok’?”
me: “Murray Head.”
sister: “OK, love you. Bye!”
I love that song.
In unrelated news, I’m making sugar cookies.

I wish I had some exciting projects to show you, but it’s all work, work, work, cookies, work, work, work over here.

If Only I Could Play

I took guitar lessons for awhile, starting when I was 18. I really loved learning to play, but eventually I ran out of money and had to quit. I wish I’d had the determination to continue on my own, but I didn’t. I hadn’t picked up a guitar for a few years […]

Oh Deer, It’s Christmas

We started decorating for Christmas a bit early this year because we needed the tree up for our Christmas card photo. I won’t show it to you yet, but it’s good. The photo shoot involved Brandon, footie pajamas (complete with butt flap), and Jim Beam. Ho ho ho.
Christmas in our apartment last […]
