Share and Share Alike: The Internet Came to My Rescue
The internet came to my rescue not once, but twice recently. It never fails to blow my mind how sometimes you can just put out to the world a small thing you need help with and boom. Good people come forward to lend a hand. Crisis 1: My pencil sharpener. I was working on a…

Craftcation Conference!! Who’s Comin’ With Me?!?
I shared the Craftcation Conference website with you guys recently as a show and tell – to date, it’s the largest, most intricate, involved website I have ever built, and I’m pretty proud of it. You want an interactive forum? Online ticketing integration? A clickable, easy to use schedule matrix that links up who’s teaching…

A Couple of Shots and Thoughts From Disneyland
Sorry for the break in blog posts everyone – work was ridiculously crazy last week, and there was literally zero time to post anything about anything! But rest easy, we’re back! We went to Disneyland with Jay & his fiancee Elizabeth on Sunday to celebrate Josh’s birthday: Phil is a crazy huge fan of dogs,…

What is SOPA?
“More sopapillas please!!” That classic Cartman quote is what runs through my head just about every time I hear the news talking about SOPA. And then I started actually listening to the news talk about this issue, and um… yikes. It sounds pretty bad, people. On paper it looks great – SOPA stands for “Stop…

It’s That Tax Time Again…
Don’t forget to file your State of California Sales Tax, guys! One major benefit to focusing on freelance graphic design last year? I only had 4 transactions that had to collect sales tax. Filing my taxes took 5 minutes! Okay, 10 minutes. It took me just a tiny bit to remember where the helpful sales tax…

Stand and Deliver
When we got to Grandma’s for the holidays, she had a big surprise for Phil in the form of a table he could stand at to play with his toys. Little boy was all over it for the entire 2.5 weeks we were there. This week was back to the grind in the home office.…

HeartSpace Logo Design
I recently finished up a logo design project for HeartSpace Horse Guided Education, check it out: We started with one concept and ended with another on this design, and I am so happy with how it turned out. Collaborating with Melanie was great! She’s located in the Portland, Oregon area, so communication was key in rocking…

Time for a Thrift Store Photo Extravaganza!
Josh and I found ourselves at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore thrift store in Las Cruces, New Mexico, over the holidays. I seriously can’t believe all the good stuff we saw! I’m a big-time browser, so none of this actually came home with me… I just wanted to preserve the magic and share some of it with y’all!…

Wrappin’ Up 2011 and Getting Ready for 2012
It really has been a whirlwind year, guys. Just yesterday, we were making the hours long trek home from Phil’s first xmas in New Mexico . Today we trek home again from his second New Mex Christmas with Grandma. It blows my mind how fast time has passed, how much has happened in the last…

mmmmm… NO!
Phil’s new favorite thing to say is “mmmmmm… NO!” He’s been using this phrase pretty much non-stop since he learned it last weekend. We’ll be driving around in the car, and he’s just hanging out in the car seat chanting “mmmm… NO! mmmmm…. NO! mmmmm…. NO!” It took me a while to realize where he…
