Win It: Up Up Creative.

I love a good calendar and look forward to the new ones being released for the following year. It’s like Christmas to me! This week’s giveaway is from uber-talented Up Up Creative. You have the chance to win a 2010 Take-Along calendar in the color palette of your choice. Thirteen pages – 12 months and a cover – plus an adorable custom mini binder clip! It’s small enough to keep in your purse or bag and big enough to jot down appointments and important events.

To Enter:
1. Tell me what you’re most looking forward to in 2010
2. Leave your email address (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before next Monday, August 24 at 9am CST

Also make sure and check out her blogs – Each Penny Pretty and Up Up Creative!

Happy Weekend.

Hurrah, Friday is here! As much as I love what I do I won’t ever turn down a weekend. Did you have a good week? Do you have big weekend plans?

This Weekend:
• take Piper to the dog park
• conquer the ever-present laundry pile
• go to the farmers market
• work on some drawings
• wrap L and C’s birthday gifts
• weed my messy flower bed

Happy Weekend!

Missed Connections.

Sophie Blackall of Brooklyn is the mastermind artist behind Missed Connections, a blog all about missed opportunity and interaction. She takes random passings and creates the most beautiful imagery, then tells short stories about the moments behind them. I love her style and quippy humor, not to mention her handwriting!
