I’m off for Christmas break. I will have limited internet access, (WHA??!?!?) and will not be posting until new years. It has been a great year! Thanks for the comments and support!

My colleagues and I (at EMC Creative) finally released this year’s agency Christmas card. This was a new venture for us: flash animation, user-generated content and audio. We’re loving how it’s turned out and are getting great feedback. See the holiday card here and be sure to add what inspired you this year!

I came across this interesting Christmas Tree today, and am wondering what you think. This Christmas tree idea belongs to Judy Hardaway at Amazing Christmas Ideas.com. She says this,
I always hang doves from the ceiling with strings of beads in their mouths as though they were flying in and decorating the tree. I use [...]

Google Reader is a total time saver for me. I have a gmail account (as everyone should these days) and this also gives me access to my very own reader (among other things. If you aren’t sold on gmail’s capabilities, ping me. I’ll grab my soapbox). This reader allows me to enter the blogs that [...]

Jessica is moving into her first house, a townhouse, and wanted to know how she should decorate it. She emailed me some pictures and gave me a rundown on her style. This included:

80% traditional and 20% modern.
timeless but with a little bit of sass.
a few accent pieces in a fun color (red?).
mostly something we’ll like [...]

I am in love with these ‘Four Calling Birds’ bowls by Jayson Home and Garden. I just have a thing for birds, and I can’t be helped.

I have noticed over the last few months, after having mounted our TV in our new condo, that many are hanging their TV too high. I can see how this is easily done, because the things we normally hang on the wall are artwork. Normally, artwork is hung at eye-level when standing up. A TV [...]

I have been enjoying my “croffice” (craft room + office) so much that I have been quite productive. After seeing a fun quilt design, I thought I’d make a quilt for Christmas to improve my sewing skills. I’m much more of a one-hour type project gal myself, but I love blankets, and I LOVE putting [...]
