ASVAP: The American Society for Velociraptor Attack Prevention

I wish there was more to this site, but it's still enjoyable.

"New Home Buyer Tips

When buying a new home, there are a few things to look out for when assessing potential velociraptor attacks:

1. Check all doors and windows. Doors should be made of solid oak or steel. Windows should have steel bars with spacing smaller than the average raptor.
2. Make sure all entryways have adequate deadbolts. Quality deadbolts may be purchased at your local Home Depot.
3. Always keep a loaded big-game rifle under your bed, and tire irons near every door. Remember, you should never be farther than 20 feet away from a tire iron."

The Glass is Half....

Ha...I think of myself as more of an optimist, I tend to say "What's the worst that can happen ?", but this mug makes me quite happy!

(Find it at Despair, Inc. for $9.95, the site is totes worth checking out)

iNSPiRAL

Check out the new iNSPiRAL Blog! I'll be sharing my blogging time posting on both blogs, but I promise I won't let this blog suffer...much. iNSPiRAL is an Erie based band that rocks my socks off and I'm totally in love with the one guitar player*.

(*Ummm...for those of you who don't know, he's my bf.)

White Chandelier

Every time I see a white chandelier I want one even more. This is actually showcasing the work of Leigh Wells, which is stunning, but I love that chandelier!


Here's another (this is in Geyneth Paltrow's and Chris Martin's home).

Gimme 5! (Now in Purple!)

The new $5.00 bill is out! I'm all for color coding money, I think thats a great idea, but this is a bit random for me. What do you think?

Galleries

Saturday we went to the Carnegie Art Museum and saw the lovely (7th grade) Ari's work on display. She created a piece to promote Climb for Hope.


And then went to see how the show at Fe Gallery (that Randie and I helped set up for) turned out. These clay pieces (that weighed a lot more than they look) Were hung from flimsy 14 ft twigs (that were a pain to put together). But amazingly none of them broke!

Coasters

"This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays." -HGTTG (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

I think the quote almost every Thursday and today is no exception so I decided to find something that made me giggle today. These coasters are brilliant and made from recycled automobile tires. Too bad they are $38 for only 4 coasters.

P.S. I am trying to remember to link all of my pictures up so that if you click on the picture it takes you somewhere, usually the site it's from or where to buy it. But occasionally somewhere like....here.

Eco-chainsaw, haha!

Business card card for Tur & Partner (a landscape architecture firm) designed by Jung von Matt. Simply awesome.

"Add a little light and water to this seeded business card and in a couple days, you’ve got yourself a professionally landscaped miniature garden. Seeds embedded into the card sprout right through the holes in the plan printed on the card."

UPDATE on Capital 1 logo

I was just happen to be checking the site today and what do I see? The "unveiling" of their new logo:

At first glance I thought there was a glitch in their website. I see what they are going for, butttt eh...it looks a bit odd.

Valentine's Day

Well I hate to break it to you, but I'm not much of one for Valentine's day. We're pretty much going to ignore it this year (I asked Mike and he said thats ok, haha). However, if we were to get into the spirit of the holidays I would decorate with this heart garland from CoriKindred's esty shop. I just absolutely adore it! (Probably because decorating for a typically pink holiday with black makes me a happy little girl.)
