#project365things: Day 144 // Happy Birthday Bob Dylan
I am a big fan of Bob Dylan. The image above I designed for an art opening last year. It was printed on fabric and displayed like a banner. I also have a limited edition of letterpress prints. (note to self: add to my shop.)
Happy weekend! See you tomorrow!

#project365things: Day 142 // Self Care : Book a Massage
Yesterday, Dave (the bf) surprised me with a massage at a wellness center close to us. I have been working hard and he wanted to treat me. It really was the sweetest thing. I feel fresh, rejuvenated and ready to tackle my to dos.
I am extremely grateful that someone took upon themselves and made this happen for me. It was a good reminder to me that is it is super important that we take care of ourselves and sometimes that means getting a massage or a pedicure or taking a long walk. Even when you think you don’t have enough time, make the time. Do it for yourself and ultimately for others because when you are at your best, your clients and people that you are serving will get the best from you.

Hello lovelies. I feel like I have abandoned the blog a bit besides my 365 project I haven’t been able to follow my editorial calendar. I have been juggling a lot of design projects, prepping for my art opening on June 1st, and also bringing in some new, and exciting clients. I am not complaining so I am ok that I am unable to get to my blog posts for the moment but am working on making some changes and reorganizing some priorities (Watching Game of Thrones & Mad Men) so that the blog posts do happen. It might take a few weeks to adjust some habits and change the busyness. With all that said—I just wanted to catch up with y’all. Here is what’s been happening…
1. Featured in Brides Magazine & on Brides.com - A Connecticut wedding that I worked on last September is featured in the June/July issue and also on the home page of brides.com this week. Couldn’t be happier for the couple and all the vendors involved. It truly was one of my favorite weddings to work on—I was able to be super creative. I shared their wedding on the blog before as well as the save the dates which were also featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper. pinch me.
2. New Client: IFoundFitness – So excited to revamp – new logo, website, brand guidelines. All the goods will be launched by end of August.
3. Game of Thrones, MadMen, Bates Motel - My guilty pleasures.
4. Preparing For The It’s A Banner Day Opening Night- In the works. So excited.
5. Paper World - I just finished up 2 wedding invitations and 2 baby shower invitations. Excited to share the final projects once I know they are all signed, sealed and delivered.
6. Catching Up On Some Family Time - My mom was visiting from North Carolina, so we fit in lots of family time the past few weeks.
7. Updated Portfolio Projects - Trying by best to keep it updated, but kind of hard to when I have been so backed up. I have been adding at least one project a week for the past few weeks. I hope to keep this up until I am up to date.

I couldn’t agree more.

I like to think of this as a creative exercise. right? If I had tons of extra cash and someplace besides my desk to be, this is what I would imagine I wore today. I admit it, I got a little swanky with the labels. I wasn’t looking at the prices, makes it more fun.
I created this with Feyt. You can create a virtual closet and make some looks. Super fun.

#project365things: Day 140 // Create Art
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I wasn’t in love with the weather, but I did end up getting a lot of work done and was able to work on my art opening—less than 2 weeks away. Eeee!
There is still time to get a submission in for the It’s A Banner Day! If you think you don’t have enough time to create and send. You can send me a digital file and I will take care of the production for you. If you want a little more time as well just get in touch and let me know it is on the way as long as it gets here before the June 1st opening we can make it work.
So happy with the response and that chatter about honoring our creative spirits and creating art in a new “collaborative” way. It is exciting to see the process and sneak peeks as well as full blog posts about the inspiration.
A huge thank you to Jessika Hepburn of Oh My Handmade! for sharing this post with her creative community.
We are over on facebook sharing comments and inspirations. Join us. Create art.
