I want that

I want a typeset drawer. Badly. I have looked online everywhere.. unless I'm willing to pay for shipping from the US I haven't been able to find one. Now I have country envy. Elizabeth at the Please Note Paper blog FOUND ONE at like a freakin' yard sale! As easy as that. And I am uuuuber jealous. So much so it makes me wish I lived in America to take advantage of such things. Cos that is totally an acceptable reason to move countries. I have a lot of crap. SO much so that my partner thinks I have a hoarding problem. Ok.. not like hoarding on those American TV shows.. lets just say I have a fair few unpacked boxes of craft supplies... and they have been left unpacked.. in our garage... and spare room... for about 18 months now. Awkward turtle. Now to get back on track... I also have a lot of nail polishes, threads, broken jewellery and things like that.. so I thought this would be an awesome way to store them. Maybe when I finally get to go on my USA road trip I could snag one and post it back myself... dreams are free.

Winter Blues

It gets to about this time of the year when I crave summer. Winter has well and truly hit and quite frankly I am done. I feel the same way half way through summer but that's a rant for another day. I miss going to the river with the dogs, I miss wearing jandals and not having freezing footsies (yes, I wear jandals year round... even in negative freezing temperatures.. not a fan of shoes in general). I thought I'd share my favourite summer photo of my boy Buddy. This was one of the first times he went swimming, for the first 8 months we had him he was terrified of water. Now you can't keep him away.

Graphic Design Inspiration

Hump-day is the worst day of the week in my book. 
It's also my least productive day at work, so I thought it would be fitting on this Wednesday morning to post a few pictures from my graphic design inspiration folder... instead of working!

To be inspired...

Like any girl in their mid-twenties without a rock on her finger, I get a wee bit wedding obsessed at times. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I do a bit of wedding photography and A LOT of wedding stationery. So when I am overloaded with freelance work I push back my imaginary wedding by at least two years cos the thought of planning almost sends me into a meltdown.. Then when all my work dries up I click on my number one favourite link and swoon at the beauty that Jen & Jason have created over at Green Wedding Shoes.

Every time I peruse these pages I feel inspired. I wish I had her job!

If you are looking for a weekend crafts project - this is the place to look. The DIY tutorials are just out of this world awesome.

Here is a wee taster of what you're in for. 

How to make a portfolio awesome

If you have a career in design, you'll be faced with the same excitement and frustration that all of us designers face... updating your portfolio. It's always a long slog and we're full of great ideas in the beginning, then when that job interview approaches you start to panic and the night before you throw something half-assed together. Going through my many folders of randomness on my computer today I found this...This is how you make a portfolio awesome, you come up with an epic way to present it. All credit to the guy who created this... I don't know who you are, but I think your portfolio is awesome.

Aint no home without a dog...or two

Introducing my doggies, Buddy the German Shepherd and Luna the Pug.
