Blog Carnival - April 24th Edition

This week's question: describe your dream studio (or if you already have one, give details!). Decorating, supplies you wish you had, size, etc.


I definitely do not already have my dream studio...as I now sit at a cramped desk overflowing with school books, bills and a sleeping cat, the first thing on my list for a dream studio...SPACE! I'd love to have multiple workstations, one for my computer, one for the actual work to be done, and a third for finished designs and packing up orders.

I'd also love a room with lots of natural light, and windows that I could open when it is nice out. I'd love a view of something other then the neighbors...preferably something nature-y.

I'd have lots of room for inspiration- places to hang images, idea boards and lots of room to put post-it notes and white boards to jot all my ideas and deadlines on. And a whole wall just for organizing supplies and storage.

The room would be bright and airy- painted a pretty color...purple, or blue or green maybe?


I wonder if such a place exists :p

Easter in NJ

wedding invite workshop

it is really getting so close to bonnie and andy's wedding...I'm getting so excited, and last friday while we were putting together the invitations, I got even more excited!

there are a few key items to having the proper workspace set up for wedding invite assembly...

1. box of wine in plastic cups














2. invitation materials
















okay, so I guess it's just those two things :) but it was such a fun day...3 months from tomorrow...ready Bon??


oh and since I always miss the Cherry Blossom Festival...here's a pic of the tree in Bonnie's front yard...my own personal Cherry Blossom festival ;)

Tulips on my deck :)

probably the inspiration for this week's Friday Finds...the beautiful tulips my aunt and uncle brought me at Easter :) I put them in real flower pots and everything! let's hope they last...I am not known for having a green thumb of any kind!

photos from the road trip...2

since the last two days of our trip were predicted to rain...we made it down to the island, and hit the beach for old times sake...saw the condo we used to rent, and walked up and down the beach...the sun even came out for a little bit :)
