The pretty fantastic dezigner, Kris Todd, asked me to be a guest designer this week. Each week he creates a new header for his site and this week it was my turn to make his fantastically GLORIOUS! I'm headed to the beach this week so I thought I would rub it in everyone's faces. Is that mean? I think the cute little turtle makes up for it.
Check out the header in all it's glory!
so I'm following The Scoop and they had a post about this package exchange by oh, hello friend. This is such a cute idea for all you peeps who care more about what a package looks on the outside then what's inside! superficial? i think not. we're all just trying to make the world a beautiful place.
I am such a dork, but I have to post this...But I think any conversation about design is kind of dorky unless you are a design nerd like me, especially when it comes to letterpress and wood type.
At a recent AIGA event, they featured a film called Typeface. (PS. Love this site!) The film was all about the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin solely dedicated to preserving the art of wood type and how different designers from all over have a love for wood type, but use it in many different ways to create really beautiful pieces.
So, to add to my list of goals, destinations, what have you, I want to take a trip up to Two Rivers to visit this building with piles, boxes, stacks of wood type. Maybe I'll do a residency here...sounds weird but umm, yea, I'm a design nerd.
My dear friend's wife is participating in the Breast Cancer 3-Day benefiting Susan G. Komen this October. Steven's mom and grandmother are both survivors and I'm pretty sure that everyone knows someone who has or had breast cancer.

I got the call today, I didnt wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin on the phone
She said youd found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
Im learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, Im learning again
Ive been tryin to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
Theres a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
Theyre the very things - we kill I guess
Pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesnt keep me warm
Im learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought Id figured out
I have to learn again
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me anymore
There are people in your life whove come and gone
They let you down you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on
You keep carryin that anger; itll eat you up inside, baby
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thought seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me
Ive been tryin to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So Im thinkin about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you dont love me
