Nesting much??

I thought you were supposed to "nest" when you are pregnant. I really didn't do much nesting because I never felt good enough to care. Well, I guess it's catching up with me. I have been going nutso with to-do lists (I'm guessing to keep my head straight after all of this brain power loss they call Mama Brain). Our pantry has been driving me crazy for the past few months. We are usually in such a hurry that we just throw stuff in there and things have lost their places.... So, today while Caroline was taking a nap (actually during 2 naps), I rearranged our pantry. And I feel better, slightly proud of myself, and slightly embarrassed that I am so excited about a pantry being cleaned out.
P.S. Obviously, the kitchen is not finished yet, hence the unpainted cabinet doors... Hopefully we'll get to that someday... ... ... ...

Catalog Living: Elaine & Gary

I posted about this on Facebook, but I had to share today's posting... This is a blog written by the lady in the sonic commercials, who adds *HILARIOUS* captions to pictures from furniture catalogs... Most are from Pottery Barn and I pretty much die laughing every time!

"Elaine wasn't about to let some hot flashes get in the way of balancing the checkbook with the abacus."

nest creative design

So, I'm not sure why I haven't posted about this earlier, but I guess I've been a little busy :)

Ever since I can remember using a computer (early 90's?), I have always had an interest in fonts. Yes, fonts. (nerd-alert)

So, that love of fonts has turned into love of graphic design.

Don't ask me why I didn't become a graphic designer... My answer would be, "I don't have a clue." I can only guess that I didn't realize what kind of degree I would need to get, and so I pursued other things.

Since college, I have been doing some design work on the side, mainly for friends or family. I haven't charged, thinking that I would build up my portfolio and then start my own business. Part of me thinks I've been too scared to pull the trigger since I haven't had any formal design training. (Which, by the way, I would love to do...at some point...)

However, I feel like I have a knack for it... and really do love it. It's my creative outlet.

I have decided to officially start it, now that I am staying home with Caroline.

So, If you happen to know anyone needing invitations, announcements, programs, newsletters, logo design, or even a photo montage (slideshow of pictures)... please contact me!
