Happy New Year, and belated Happy Holidays! As some of you may already know, this site has been in a bit of a hiatus. Sometimes, life throws a curveball at you and you're just forced to catch it and deal :) Anyways, after a much needed break- I'm back in business. I hope to launch a new site design in the near future, and although the queue remains to be closed until I do some much needed dusting off around here- please enjoy some better in pink! original designs from the shop!

More updates soon...

Inspired by…

This time of year for me is full of longing. Longing for spring, sun, nature, flowers, fresh air… So, needless to say, it’s a bit difficult to find inspiration (at least for me it is) when I feel like I’m stuck indoors.

This is when I rely heavily on my handy dandy “Eye Candy” bookmark folder. By the way, if you’re still using browser based bookmarking you’re totally missing out. Google Bookmarks is an excellent way to be sure you will always have access to all your bookmarks, no matter what computer you’re using :)

Some of my tried and true sources of inspiration are Cosmo Cricket | Natalie Jost | Made by Girl

I’d love to hear what websites, people, music, etc. inspire you!

scatterbrain-ness

I have a few launches to post about and I just can’t wait to share them with you, it’s hard to keep quiet! Unfortunately, there’s still a bit more testing to do before I can link to them. Bummer.

This month has been a busy one! The girls are back to school and my favorite time of year approacheth. Helloooo Jack Skellington! Every year I look forward to October because it’s when I whip out my copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas (now in 3D!) and pretty much play it all through Christmas. Yes, yes I know…I’m kooky like that, lol.

Oh! I’m not sure if I mentioned it, but we are in the middle of selling our house and actively looking for a new place. (I know that sounds backwards, trust me) Anyways, so hard as I try, it’s been tough to keep focused on things when I’ve got :::new kitchen::: :::new office::: :::big soaker tub::: on my mind! Today’s horoscope totally illustrates perfectly what I’m feeling:

You can be a bit unreliable today with your time. It’s not that you can’t finish what you start; it’s simply that your daydreams can get in the way of what needs to happen now. Push yourself by setting up a few appointments in advance, and don’t cancel them after you have made a commitment. Once you have completed your work, give yourself permission to also schedule time for your dreams.

So, I forced myself to send out a ton of follow up emails and reply to many new emails that came in the past couple of days. I tend to get a bit overwhelmed with the volume of emails that come in daily and when I dare to put off replying ONE DAY (stupid germs!) they become this big project that eats up my whole day. Then I walk around with this big old cloud of doom all day. I hate making people wait! I’m glad I did it though because I always feel better in the end when I stop putting things off :)

Anywhoo, it’s been a while since I just had a chance to talk about what’s going on so I’m glad to have had the chance to do that today. Have a great weekend everyone!

Portfolio Updates, and a quick hello

Some site updates… I put up a bunch of new completed projects on the portfolio pages- namely the identity section. I’ve been so busy working that my poor little site has been neglected. Again, I’d like to thank all of my fabulous clients for your continued support and for always keeping me on my toes. Just tonight I had a client tell me that a design concept I worked on for them looked a little like puff paint. LOL! Well, after she mentioned that I looked at it again and totally saw what she saw! Back to the drawing board I went and we finally came up with a design concept we are both pleased with :)

I love the collaboration process so much so. It’s so great to work with another creative person and come up with something that is truly special and unique. That happens so often in this business and for that I’m so grateful… I truly love what I do!

That’s all for now my friends, I hope you are all enjoying your summer as I am :)
