blogs and social media
I ran across Trent's thoughts on blogging and social networks and completely agree. I just had to share his analogies.
Ideas of March | Trent Walton: Places on the web for sharing content and ideas often remind me of real life interactions. Facebook is the everlasting high school reunion. Twitter, which I love, is maybe half cocktail party, half party-line. Flickr & Instagram can be the best way to send a postcard, while LinkedIn is the best way to send a fax ;) To me, there’s something sacred about reading a blog post on someone else’s site. It’s like visiting a friend’s house for a quick meal ‘round the breakfast table. It’s personal— you’re in their space, and the environment is uniquely suited for idea exchange and uninterrupted conversation. In many ways, we should be treating our blogs like our breakfast tables. Be welcoming & gracious when you host, and kind & respectful when visiting.
253 super sunday
outing for almost two months now, so it was good to finally get it on the
books and make it happen!! We had brunch at the tapas place, Cafe
Ba Ba Reeba - the cinnamon french toast was spectacular. But, in true
tapas fashion, it was a single piece of french toast - I could have eaten
three!!
We headed around the corner to make custom 1154 lill bags. This was
the first time I've actually done this, Robin has like ten of these bags.
It's fun, you pick the bag shape and then all of the fabrics. I chose two
bags { I just couldn't choose } the Lexie in navy and steel gray and the
Sophie in two black fabrics with the accents in red. Luckily I had a
Living Social coupon and the Lexie was on sale! Woot!
One last mission for the afternoon was to ride the Navy Pier ferris wheel. I purchased a groupon for
tickets and it's up this coming Friday. Ridiculous I left it till the very last minute, but whatever! Sadly, the
wheel was not running because it was hella windy, so I guess I will have to try to make it down some
night this week. Boo!
On a completely unrelated note ... I was thumbing through my mountain of magazines and Martha Stewart
inspired me to whip up some homemade pasta. Put my Kitchen Aid attachment to work and it was SO
much better than that crank machine! Oh it was so good!!! 'Twas a super Sunday! Hope yours was too!

Had a positively lovely Saturday! Woke up to the sun streaming in and just lounged around catching up on some DVR in bed. I love it when I don't have early morning plans!! Once I got myself up and going, I finished two photobooks - a groupon I had purchased that actually expired (oops!) and they gave me two more weeks (yeah!) to complete my books.

things that make you go hmmm
So I have never googled any of my images to see if they are floating about on the internet till tonight. I had an online news source ask if they could use my image of the NCAA trophy and had granted them permission - they gave me a credit and all was good. I had forgotten the name so I went looking for that image on google. To my surprise I found it all over the web!! Like four pages of google entries and one even has it as the cover image of their facebook profile ... Isn't that nice. Bunch of thieves ... sadly I don't think there's a thing I can do about it.

I am a graphic designer. I sit in front of a computer all day, every day. I am finding it difficult to find the "beauty" in this ... so back to the beach I went today. The sky was stunning - somewhat angry, but the blue from the sky to the water created the most beautiful gradient effect. { love }
