Thursday Thanks ::: 2 :::

I realized yesterday with that post from yesterday that I forgot to to my Thursday Thanks. Silly me. I am so thankful for my family and friends. Even more specifically my mom and boyfriend. They are most definitely two rocks in my life. Without them I just might not make it. They cheer for me in hard times and laugh with me in the good. Thankfully there's a Lot more laughing!

1. Davidson Basketball game // 2.  Mint Museum in Charlotte // 3. Building furniture for my new Venice Studio // 4. Nap time on the floor

5. Annual Moonlight Beach Trip // 6. Riding at Mom's Ranch in Palm Spring (aka my childhood home) // 7. Annual UCLA game at the Rose Bowl //  8. Customary carb load before my first LA Marathon

Bad News. Good News.

I got some unfortunate news yesterday. But there is a very definite silver lining. That is that I have a very supportive man in my life and who is encouraging me to make a very scary move in the Right direction.

Branding & Identity

I have been taking this Letterpress class for a few weeks now. And we are finally getting to the point where we can print on our own, whatever we choose to. I thought I would take this opportunity to work on branding for myself. If you are a designer, you know that that's always the hardest. I worry I will want to change it in about 3 months, but most likely I will, so I should really let that worry go and just work on what I think it best for now. But in my quest for a new image, I found a few others that inspired me.

Nothing simple about this black and white:

Logo lovin':

ABCDEFGHIJKLM NOPQRST

Monday. Monday.

Today is definitely feeling like a Monday. It's a bit overcast and draggin' a lot. So I thought I would throw up some inspiration from my friend over at Pip & Estella.

Handletters Logos

These hand lettered store logos are pure perfection, and what a great collection from Designer Christian Annyas.
