I’m not good with words. I always come up with the right thing to say 10 minutes after the opportunity presents itself.
I don’t bake that well. Yes, I have chocolate chip cookies and chocolate crinkle cookies that I can deliver consistently. But anything more complicated than that will take me LOTS of practice to be [...]

This website was both so fun to design, and *excrutiating* to look at these delicious chocolates for long stretches of time without having some to snack on. Check out my new Danville Chocolates website design: www.danvillechocolates.com.

Most of my friends are creative. Some of them are flat out duds. {kidding}. ALL of my friends are creative in their own right: teaching, nutrition, numbers, crafting, and the list goes on.

I’m hosting my friend April’s baby shower next weekend, and although I’m dying to share the details as we plan them, I don’t want to spoil it! :)
Here are the invitations I made and sent out a few weeks ago… designed in photoshop, printed one side on heavy paper and the other on a shiny [...]

Over the last few weeks I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jules and Tristan, new blog friends on the redesign and migration of their communal blog from Typepad to Wordpress. The launch took place two weeks ago, and I think we got all the kinks out. The migration from Typepad wasn’t as painless as [...]

My friend Nicki’s shower was last week, and it was perfect. My friend and I did all the decorating and food prep the night before, so there was literally no stress the day of the shower. The trick to a well-themed party is repetition, repetition, repetition. We made sure we kept our theme evident: the [...]

How does blog stalking happen? I’ll tell you… I entered a giveaway on This Young House {yes, I like free things too}, and amongst many other commenters, only one had a gravatar, so I clicked her link and found her delightful blog: Likely Design. {If you don’t have your gravatar yet, take 30 seconds and [...]
