Having a Pinkalicious Day
Today I went to Confectionately Yours. It’s located on 19th Street SE, between Vista and McGilchrist. I LOVE that store! Michelle, the owner, was there to greet me as I walked in and as always she was super friendly and helpful. She’s the type of person who is generous in conversation and makes you feel ...
New Toy
The Scrapbooking craze is just so amazing. It has encouraged millions of people to become little historians, recording moments in time. It has allowed people who otherwise thought themselves as non-creative types to experience the process of art making. But most of all, I LOVE that it has made tools available to the mass population ...
Digital Facelift
I’ve been working on a few design projects for a very talented cake designer, Jennifer Haas, owner of Bittersweet Baking. She has been so much fun to work with and I’ve really enjoyed trying to best capture the look and feel of her business. Her expertise is designing whimsical party cakes and cupcakes as well ...
Welcoming Good Design!
I see it all of the time. Someone gets a copy of photoshop and they start clipping heads of dogs onto superstars or create rinky-dink brochures chocked full of clipart and poorly laid out text. Then they have the audacity to call themselves designers. It makes my skin crawl and it makes me angry! Sure, ...
Quote of the Day
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who ...
Technical Support to the Rescue!
Goodness, it’s been a crazy day! Nothing as bad as losing a limb or a job, but it’s been one challenge after another. It started when we woke up and hubby’s car wouldn’t start. Since he had to do some traveling across town, he couldn’t take the bus. So, I loaned him mine and rushed ...
Spreading the Love
My friend Angela sent out an email with a great idea. She was looking for a way to somehow thank our local librarians at the Salem Public Library. After asking the director, she found out the staff wasn’t able to accept gifts, so Angela decided to collect some money for the library and to make ...
Valentine Love
It’s been a fun past few days getting ready for Valentine’s Day. Both my kiddos have had fun celebrations in class. Little Missy had cute gingerbread house decorating, and Little Man just experienced his first Valentine’s party in a classroom. At home we’ve decorated the outside of the house, and with some inspiration from a ...
Where it All Began
My family and I had a fun-filled day in Eugene. Eugene is still a magical place in my mind. It’s the place I met my husband, the place I really felt comfortable being me, and the place where I had my daughter. It’s also the place where I had my first real full-time job. We’ve ...
