Happy Friday everybody! :)
I hope you had a great week. I had a great week. I am graduating college NEXT WEEK. How can I not be totally and completely stoked?
I feel like I've had a great couple of blogging weeks. I mean, I'm still not up to the content level I want to be at, but I'm definitely improving on posting more! :)
Oh, and random, but.. I want to do this to my hair next week.
Thoughts?
So I figure since everyone else does something like this in the blogging world.. I would try it out too! This week I have been on StumbleUpon a great deal (as opposed to Pinterest) because StumbleUpon has a lot more Graphic Design content.. like actual tutorials and stuff, rather than just inspiration, which is something I feel Pinterest lacks. I was going to keep it design based.. but I got bored. So I have some nutritional ones for you too, because nutrition is a major interest for me.
Friday Findings
Check out these great movie fonts. Mock movie posters? I see something like this in the future.
This is a great article about finding logo inspiration.
Some great free Photoshop textures, which I can never feel I can get enough of.
A great list of graphic design interview tips. I especially like the one about bringing paper and a pen!
Superfoods for the win!

Custom Yoga workouts... I might need to try this!
Simple nutrition tips.. My favorite is "Eat less, enjoy more."
What is in 4 lbs of food.. This kinda blew my mind.
Facts about foods.. Made me rethink my love for bananas for me.
In Case You Missed It...
I shared my first ever JULEP box. Such pretty colors!
I showed you my final graphic design project..that includes ZOMBIES. (My favorite creature.)
I talked about how I have sucked at goals lately. And how I plan to get back on track.
Have a great weekend loves!
I'm going to spend this weekend cleaning out my garage. For reals this time!
What are you up to this weekend?
Happy Friday Loves! :)
I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately, I have been out doing things! Ever since I stopped drinking soda and only water I have come home from work with ENERGY! I have been cleaning, and crafting, and cooking (okay, okay, let's not kid ourselves) but I have felt very active. Which is an improvement for me, because I usually came home from work to rest and watch tv, and left the doing things to the weekend.
But lately, it's been every night. I have had this extra energy that I have to GET UP AND DO
SOMETHING.
Dakota has been very impressed.
Things like this:
I bought the frames, painted the frames, found artwork for them, and laid them out on the floor.
Not all in the same day. But still.
And it is even on the wall now! Thanks to my hunky hunky boyfriend hanging stuff.
I will be doing a post on this probably this weekend, or next week after Christmas.
Let's just say you all have been doing gallery walls wrong this whole time and I would love to show you my better way.
Is that mean?
I'm just trying to help. I swears.
Since it's Friday, I will share with you what I have been loving this week (and probably last week, let's be honest):
I loved Ashley's post on how Success Requires Attitude.
Check out this list of 40 free handwriting fonts.
And here are more free fonts.
And fonts for logos and headings.
Can you tell that I love fonts?
I love these design quotes. I want to get some for my wall (see above)
Abigail and I are making these homemade mint patties tonight.
I love these free printable tags! I might have to make some for my last minute gifts (anyone else wait til the last minute? I have to get a present for my DAD. I am horrible. BUT I made him awesome gifts that I will show off after Christmas ;))
AND, I have a freebie for you today! :) I made it for Stephanie when she interviewed me this week, but I will give it away here as well. Click on the preview to download. Very inspirational, especially with the start of a new year quickly approaching!
I hope you guys have a great weekend, and an even better Christmas. And here is a wish from me to you, I love all of you guys for reading my ramblings and putting up with me on Twitter and Facebook. You guys are the best.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Friday, Loves! I am so glad to have made it.
I have been oh so busy this week! Writing posts and planning some awesomeness for my lovely readers. I am so excited I can barely contain it! I want to hit "publish" on all my queued up posts!
But their time will come!
But for today, I have been carefully (read: stumbleupon) looking for great links to share with you!
Ashley After Nine to Five is celebrating her two year bloggiversary! Check out her reflection on the past two years. Warning: Lots to read!
I love these cheat sheet wallpapers! Might come in handy!
Check out 25 Best Sites to Download Free Vector Files... what a resource!
I might have to experiment with these watercolor brushes for Photoshop and create a portrait like Kristen did.
I love this Kate's post about Posting Frequency and Blogging Guilt. Great piece. What a reminder to easy on ourselves and remember why we blog in the first place.
I found a great article about things you didn't know Illustrator could do. I knew most, but I learned something!
This week I broke my life into numbers. I also wrote a little bit about myself for the Liebster Award. I showed you a little bit of inspiration through Minimalist Movie Poster Design. And today I showed you a fall color palette that I love.
I am really excited about what is to come here at the blog. I know what I want to blog about. I know that I have a lot to teach you. I hope that I can do that well. And I hope you will stick around for this journey with me.
I am definitely looking forward to it.
Check back tomorrow for a Design Tips post on making your own color palettes!
