Win It: The Storyboard Book.


When I worked in advertising I would have killed for something as clever as The Storyboard Book. The concept is simple: a frame for the action and and space for whatever notes you have to go along with it. Take notes, make a list, write a movie, whatever. It’s also perfectly pocket-sized so you can take it anywhere. And this week we’re giving away a 3-pack to one reader.

To Enter, Tell Me:
1. Who would play you in the movie of your life?
2. Leave a valid email address (For notification if you win! Sadly, those who do not will be disqualified.)
3. Do it all before Monday, February 15th at 9am CST

For Your Valentine.

Every year I say how I’m not a big believer in Valentine’s Day. And every year I fall a little further into the trap that is February 14th. Here are a few things I’ve spotted recently that I think would make great gifts. The kind that someone keeps around until they’re 85. The kind that are sure to bring fabulous stories with them wherever they go.

Pretty Vases.

I’ve been on the hunt for a vase that does its job or is okay with just sitting there and looking pretty. Yesterday I picked up a ceramic one that is tall, slender and adorned with a white on white raised honeycomb pattern. It’s new home in on my mantel.

But then I saw these. They’re actually called Pretty Vases. And I love the bold, bright colors paired with the unconventional pipe-mimicking design.

Subway Art Tutorial.

I know I’m not the only one out there who’s noticed a surge in subway art over the past few months. And I’m obviously not the only one who’s toyed with the notion of creating some of my own. Just look at this step-by-step tutorial from Ashley at lil blue boo and tell me you’re not going to be running out to the hardware store to pick up wood and spray paint this weekend. {via Shelterpop}
