let me make this clear, my dear... i love you

This year I had some grand plans of designing, printing, and mailing my own valentine cards to all my sweetest loved ones. Even as a single girl, I still like Valentines day because it actually makes me think of all my family and friends - the ones I truly love! However, as we all know, life gets busy and our visions and dreams seem to take back seat to the daily tasks and jobs at hand. Thank goodness for the internet so I can still send you a "handmade" card in time. Hope you have a great day filled with love from all!

Design and concept side note: got this idea of an eye chart while I was at the optometrist last weekend. I have seen other signs before too that say, "one rarely sees what is right in front of their eyes." People are so clever! Feel free to use or print out if you'd like :)

11 Songs I will never-ever tire of:

All I Need - Radiohead

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Chop and Change - The Black Keys

Claire De Lune - DeBussy

Dog Days are Over -Florence and the Machines

Funeral - Band of Horses

Hang Me Up to Dry - Cold War Kids

Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon

Smile - Michael Jackson

Wake Up - Arcade Fire

Why 11 songs? Because 10 is just not enough! Off the top of your head, what are 10 or 11 songs that you will love and listen to forever??

P.S. In case you were wondering... Yes, I did put this list in alphabetical order... just another side-effect of being an obsessive compulsive graphic designer. 

Hope you're having a great lil' Wednesday!

Blessed with Bliss

I'm in complete bliss after this past weekend. It was filled with my two favorite things: family & friends. I got to fly home Friday night (thanks to my parents) and squeezed in celebrating a few special occasions.


There was a going away party for katie (Weebee), a wedding reception for Maddie (Mad-dawg), and a quarter century birthday for Vanessa (VV). And since I will be in California for my birthday this year, my family celebrated my birthday a couple weeks early (its not mykapalooza unless it last for 3 weeks!)


Throughout the weekend there were lots of laughs, silliness, burgers (a total of three were consumed this weekend), wiggle hugs, creeping, reminiscing, and catching up. I couldn't help but thank God for just how truly blessed I am. I am so thankful to have so many people- family and friends, that I love and truthfully respect. What else could a girl really need?


I normally try and keep things like this to myself, but today I came across this and couldn't agree more...


Psalm 104:1-2
Bless the lord, o my soul! O lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.
