Best Envelopes Ever.

Google map envelopes, not in production or anything, and what happens when the sender is east of the recipient and the postal standars and...

well, let's just enjoy the fun idea of it!

Degree

This is a definite concern I have had, luckily my degree is in Fine Arts. (Which should not be abbreviated to Bach of F. Arts.)

A Teaser Revealed

Wayyyy back, I posted a teaser for the ties the boys wore for the wedding, I think I let enough suspense build (aka: you forgot about it), without further ado...the ties.


We got them in ivory silk with the black screen print. Cyberoptix has so many amazing ties, it was very hard to choose. I definitely recommend them for weddings or just for stylish fun, no sense having boring ties if you have to wear one! Here are some other creative designs.

April Fools Day Fun!

Besides the fact it is GORGEOUS out today, I'm quite happy I am not working (well, just a few meetings/emails/changes) because I am incredibly gullible. Here's some fun from around the web.

Google Maps Australia Slang...(Side note: the ending address is the house I lived in for 6 months when I was in Australia)


Starbucks offers a Plenta™ (128 oz) and Micra™ (2 oz), I just love the pics, looks like they acutally mocked them us and did a photo shoot, what a silly company I work for :) Love it!

Plus over at Think Geek, where it is hard to tell the fake products from the real, they are selling Unicorn Meat, and a few other interesting items.

Hanging Out

Adore this hanger. Nuff said.

Makes the wheels in my head start turning about what other hanger shapes there could be.

Outstretched arms for a hug?
A banana?
A cheshire cat smile?

Nemos

Is it sad this in no way makes me feel even the slightest bit bad about eating sushi? I just love it so much!

Side note: We stand by the fact the best sushi in Pittsburgh is Sushi Tomo on McKnight Road, it is so delish, we recommend the Volcano rolls.

Job 3: Freelance Designer
Continuous clients as well as one time projects

Job 4: Office Manager/designer for Red Caimen Media
Startup company, is my newest job, fingers crossed all goes well!

So I'm looking at a minimum of 50 hour work weeks, but I enjoy keeping busy and I don't want to give anything up. Wish me luck!

Oh hello...

Well it has been awhile my bloggie friends. Since my last post:

Got married.
Got laid off.

Started freelancing.
Got another job.
Got another job.

That sums up my life at the moment. Working 4 jobs, still working on the house, and car shopping. Hope you stay tuned for current and recent projects both design and on our home plus some shenanigans in between.

Trying to Work...

But the cat is on my tools.

So if you don't know, my fabulous bridesmaids are wearing any black dress they want for the wedding. I decided to do this so that they don't have to buy a dress they will never wear again, plus we're all different shapes and I want them to look gorgeous!

Buuuut...I entered a contest for 5 free bridesmaid dresses for the heck of it and made it into the final 8! I'd love to give these dresses to my girls so stop over and vote for mine (#5 "Katie S.") ....

Thanks so much!!!

This and that...

I attended a birthday party via the internet for the first time the other day, we sang, we watched her open presents and got to spend some quailty time with everyone, even though we were 2 hours away.



::::::::::UPDATE::::::: Oh it was Mase's Birthday party ;)

For Christmas, Mike got me tickets to see writer and speaker David Sedaris. He read a few of his essays, told some stories, then turned up the lights and answered the audience's questions (a sold out house at the Benedum!). If you haven't heard/ read his work, I definitely recomend it, but it is a bit quirky. (image from his tour)


Still no house yet, but please pray, keep your fingers crossed, burn incense or whatever you believe in that things work out for us. Our "new" tentative date for closing is April 21st. Sigh.
