Cupid Personality
Remember those posters with over 50 yellow heads explaining your personality type. In this digital age, we call them emoticons. I came across this one that is the epitome of Portland types. Maybe Portlandia needs to use it...oh wait, they've already touched on most of these stereotypes.
10 lessons for young designers
1: Be authentic. The most powerful asset you have is your individuality, what makes you unique. It’s time to stop listening to others on what you should do.
2: Work harder than anyone else and you will always benefit from the effort.
3: Get off the computer and connect with real people and culture. Life is visceral.
4: Constantly improve your craft. Make things with your hands. Innovation in thinking is not enough.
5: Travel as much as you can. It is a humbling and inspiring experience to learn just how much you don’t know.
6: Being original is still king, especially in this tech-driven, group-grope world.
7: Try not to work for stupid people or you’ll soon become one of them.
8: Instinct and intuition are all-powerful. Learn to trust them.
9: The Golden Rule actually works. Do good.
10: If all else fails, No. 2 is the greatest competitive advantage of any career.

The over-rated Hallmark holiday
First time I've received flowers at my work. The best part is that over half of the flowers have not bloomed, delayed gratification at its finest. I will admit, it started the over rated hallmark holiday with a smile on my face. The unexpected is always the best.
Baylee Photography in the NW
What a beautiful picture. Her photography is astounding! This is one of my favorite since I'm obsessed with ladybugs.

The Graves Wedding Programs
Im honored to be able to create projects for family and friends. This past September I was able to create wedding programs for an outdoor/backyard wedding in Chico, CA. It was a rustic-feel wedding with burlap accents on the reception tables. As the sun went down there was candles and lights everywhere. It looked like a scene straight from the movie. But before the night breeze set in, the ceremony was extremely HOT!! I was able to create programs and mount them on wide/thick popsicle sticks for guest to use as fans. It worked out perfect because it ended up being 105 degrees. It was a beautiful and fun backyard wedding.

Winter Wedding
Currently I'm working on a wedding invitation for a wedding that will take place in February. A rustic/antique wedding that should be very romantic and down-to earth. I know this because there wedding invitation will be the color 'pool'. 'Pool' is a color scheme from paper-source. Check it out:

Every color has a different meaning and a different feel. What color applies to you?
