Happy Helping

It seems, my friends, that I've entered that time in my life where important steps are being taken by those all around me. Everyday a new friend is getting married, or getting pregnant. Now I have to say its not my time in the spotlight yet, but I love being a part of my friends special days in any way I can.

I've started helping a few friends make things for their events and I've really enjoyed the process and the outcome. Here are a few of the designs I have done.

This is a ticket for my friend Joanne's Jack and Jill. I love making Jack and Jill tickets. They always have such fun themes and are a great way to connect in a less formal setting with friends before the wedding. This ticket had a perforated raffle ticket on the bottom too for a door prize.

This is a mommy-to-be advice card that I made for my friend Ashley's baby shower. She doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl so I didn't make the colours and imagery gender specific. I thought the birds were sweet.

Neglectful

I have been a bad blogger and have fallen victim to the evil procrastination disease. There are so many posts past due now. So many updates in my lifethat are so far behind me they aren't worth mentioning. I'm going to take a cue I recently got from Hemingway and that is just to write one true thing. This I hope will help me get back on my blogging feet. So today I found this print. And it truly inspired me. I think I might have to buy it.

Its by Nazario Graziano. You can check out more of his stuff at the link. I love the colours and the simplicity. I've been trying to paint some art to hang in my condo. I could never create anything like this but so far I'm working on painting out some of the lyrics to my favourite songs. I'll post them when I'm done.
