some good news

i'm so excited! my boss, tara governo, with dream street papers called me today and said that the proofs are in for my 2 new paper lines! i named my lines "jack" and "gracie" (after my own two bundles of joy). she says they look fabulous and that i can come see them tomorrow. i can't wait to post them for y'all to see (but not until july...sorry folks). you'll just have to keep reading...i'll keep you in suspense. the "jack" line is baby blue, orange, green, brown, and a tad bit of yellow...i totally love it! the "gracie" line is mostly pink (of course) with green, white, blue, and yellow too. these 2 lines are by far my favorite that i have ever designed. i can't wait to see them! thanks for letting me ramble on about my exciting news. stay tuned for more to come!!!

what's cookin' good lookin'

well this has been a project a long time in the making. i have wanted my own little cookbook with my favorite recipes for a long time now. i decided that my brother getting married was a good excuse. i decided that his fiance, sarah, needed some good ole' salmon women recipes to feed her man the right food! while i was at it, make one for myself too. i compiled several recipes and had it bound at a local copy store, then i added a little za-za-zing to make it more me. (i made sarah's a different color scheme.) i even left many blank pages so that she, and i (and anyone else who i deem worthy of my personal cookbook) can add recipes to it. it was fun to do. i love creating, you know me. here are some more shots.
