Many thanks to Claudia over at Venerate Blog! She did a super-sweet feature of some of my work and I am so grateful! Check out her adorable, paper-loving blog.
Weird Science
Well, it has been a while! Forgive me. I have been busy partaking in all that the summer has to offer - travel, food, family, housework, etc. It has been lovely.
Alas, all things come to an end; I am returning to the world of the working in a few days - as a 7th grade science teacher! Earth science teacher to be exact. How cool is that? It is mega-nerdy and super-awesome all at once. I can’t wait. Here are a few science-ish things that would look great in my class!

Invitation Buzz Mention!
I got a friendly little convo today from Heather and Emily of Invitation Buzz letting me know that they featured one of my designs in their blog about veggie stationery! Lovely company to be in - check out some of the other shops! XOXO.
Catalog Living = Hilarious
So, it is late on Saturday night and I have a gift for you all - an amazing, laugh factory of a blog called Catalog Living. I just went through all of their posts and LOL’d many a time. I’ve never really thought about it, but catalog photos ARE impressively stupid and they SHOULD be made fun of. Happy 4th of July! XOXO…
Random Moments
Just a few photos from the last few BUSY weeks! Something is always going on - including teaching Art this summer. 
Rad bike on the street at Summer Soulstice. Yep, I said rad.
Strawberry Fest - my favorite fest of them all!
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros at the Pabst Theater.
Gertie got a homemade haircut. She looks like a tiny goat.
Some of the color chaos from my art class! We make serious messes.
Harlem - “Someday Soon”
The feel-good chaos of Harlem’s Someday Soon was exactly what I was looking for this morning. This video is amazing in a way - it lets you vicariously live out all the things you’d do if you and your friends collectively lost your minds for a while. Fireworks, cemetery pinatas and spray paint…say no more, as I am sold.
