An ode to time

Dear Friends-

I have been working the last three years towards my degree in Commercial Graphic Design. This has meant no summers off, no weekends free, no weeknights spent lazing around and plenty of patience from my husband, family and friends. It has been my dream for as.long.as I can remember to be an artist. A dream to go to art school, tap my talent and see if it was for real. It's a dream that is about to be fulfilled when I graduate in August.

Right now however...I am in full tilt panic mode. I am taking three classes during the abbreviated summer session and preparing for my portfolio exit show. Something has to give, so for the next six weeks posting will be very sparse here. Please don't leave me-I will be back and BETTER THAN EVER :)

PS. I still have Cascade samples to send out. If you are interested please email me your contact info!

Friday's Fancies: Pool essentials

Hello friends! It's Friday! So happy.  Short weeks are always the longest.  So my Summer is basically O.V.E.R until August 3rd (graduation) but, I still can get some pool time in. Yippiee!  Especially if I go early in the morning before the kidlets and their parents start arriving.  The best part about my pool is that I can bike there.  I can get some reading done and trust me reading I have (read: four chapters by Monday!). Pool time has inspired me for this weeks Friday Fancies (thanks {av}!) I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Blueberry Cake | Results

My thoughts are YES!! Especially since I actually did the challenge with egg yolks! LOL. This challenge was perfect timing because we continually have to RE wash dishes if we don't wash them BEFORE we put them in the dishwasher...where is the point in that?!?  My Mom actually suggested these ActionPacs before I even started this challenge!  I have been trying to use more natural dishwasher products, but at the end of the day it seems counter productive to wash dishes twice just to use a natural product.  Is that saving the environment?  Not really.  So I am pleased with the ActionPacs!

I have sample boxes to send to the readers listed below!
