optimism/pessimism

Sometimes I have to remind myself that often it is the outlook that you take that makes all the difference.

sweeter than honey

These are honey jars that I just packaged! They are hand jarred from a local ranch, the Riverdog Ranch. I designed their logo out of the initials RRH and incorporated that logo on the lid. It is part of the bee illustration. Such a fun project! I look forward to designing annual honey labels with each harvest!

PAPERography

I was completely blown away by the simple, elegant beauty of this PAPERography. This is done with just pieces of paper. So stunning!! You can see more here.

fall print

So suddenly, before I could really start enjoying fall, we skipped right to winter. Now, I need to get my winter clothes out because it is officially cold. I already went threw all the hot chocolate I had left over from last winter, am taking multiple hot baths to warm myself up, and even broke down and turned on the heater today. Still, this is a pretty fall print...I wish we were enjoying golden leaves here.

lovebird print

Jen Skelly has these really precious screen prints. This is one that I liked, but I really enjoy her exotic bird series...you can click here to see it. So sweet and endearing!

fall fun

So I have been falling in love with the idea of fall. I found all of these pictures for inspiration in my fall decorating and crafting. Also, Jeff and I will be decorating a pumpkin together with some other MS1's and their wives so, I am looking for a really cool idea!

If you have any thoughts, pictures, or ideas for pumpkin decorating, please let me know!

colorful!

beautiful. found here.

pretty packaging

I have always been a huge fan of creative Kleenex packaging and this is just so wonderful! You can see more great Pentawards winners here.
How fun is this packaging? You can read more about it and the designer's thoughts here.

This is the memory game designed or designers...I am not really sure that is is fully appreciated without years of studying typography...but if you have studied type, it is funny. Below is another series of packaging designed by the same woman. You can read about both here.

dynamic type

The typography in this is really fun and creative.

fall

As I said, I have just gotten into fall holiday mode. So, I am collecting pictures of things that are cute, creative, fun...and so on.

I would love this minus the exorbitant amount of leaves.

Do you have any fun holiday ideas to share?
