Ummm, Type.

There is something so beautiful and intriguing about GOOD typography. I could view different variations of typography for hours at a time. I know that, because I have! So I'll leave you with these 3 simple words and 4 colors.

3 Things

Today while I was looking up inspirational posters and photos for my Illustration class I came across these images. If you're a nerd like me, you'll get them, and you'll laugh :)










Hope these brought a smile to your face!

Just Keep Breathing

I've been VERY busy with school/work/internship (that I don't have yet but I'm still looking!)/house/family/friends and all that other stuff life throws at you. Like Sleeping, eating oh yeah personal hygiene...which takes up entirely way too much of my time, but I'm sure the hubby and peers enjoy that I actually take care of that part of my life.

Due to my crazy schedule and everything I need to accomplish by 9am tomorrow this will be short, simple and sweet.

My FAVORITE sites to go to since I've been facebook free for 2 weeks and 2 days!

little things

...keep the marriage fun. While the hubby was at Church I set candles on the steps, put his comfy pants next to them and wrote a note that said "you wife would like you to put on your comfy pants and join her for a comfort food dinner date."

Then I set the table, put on some Ray Lamontagne

and waited.

Then we sat down for some Easy Shepherd's Pie, complements of Kraft Foods

It really is a blessing that I fall in love with him a little more everyday.

Stress Reducing Tricks!

In an effort to reduce my stress level I've started doing yoga again. Someday I want to be able to do this!!

How awesome would that be!?

What Says Me?

That was a question a professor asked us for our self promotional assignment. That question has haunted me since that night. I started my daily creative journal because of that question. I've been obsessively looking at design website/blogs to get inspiration. I even created this blog. I feel as though I'm busting my butt to "find myself" and to find "my style" and I'm failing. That scares me. "Finding myself" should be one of the easiest things I ever do and it's beginning to be the most difficult challenges I've given myself. I even started to sample different styles of clothing. I tried trendy (plaid) which my husband now thinks I look cute in. I've tried dressed up, I'm done with the "college" sweatshirt and jeans look. But I have gotten some success with the hippy/70's/bohemian look. I think I'm most comfortable in that and I feel that is mostly me. But as far as design. I'm lost! I'm going to start senior project and I have no idea how to promote myself. I have until the end of this semester (a goal I set for myself). I want to be able to design something and people are able to tell that was designed by me. Maybe it's a good quality that I don't have one set style. I think that shows weakness.


I'm beginning to feel the stress of this semester. 3 more months. 3 more months. 3 more months.

True Grace

This is a photo of my wonderful and truly beautiful Grandma.

Everyone says their Grandma is wonderful, but she really was wonderful. She was a women who was the ultimate example of grace, forgiveness, and love. She was there for me when my parents got a divorce with I was 11. She was there to clean up my cut leg from a bike accident. She was there to help my mom buy us new school clothes when she couldn't afford them. She was there for me when I made my first and second formal dresses. She was there when I needed a place to live. They said she wouldn't make it to our wedding in June 2008. She was there.

She passed away September 24th 2009.
