I made these snowflakes out of paper to hang from the ceiling at the store during the Christmas season. I must have made about 30 and the few that survived after the holidays made it back to my bedroom!

We sat around and enjoyed the last day of the old year in front of the TV. It was the perfect opportunity to draw the back of friends’ heads.
It’s a new year

I have a brand new phone to kick off the new year and with it I am writing the first post of 2011! Using a wordpress app for android and a built-in camera I can now post on-the-go! It’s very exciting!
Weekly Goals

I spend a lot of my time making lists of things to do, things to buy, and things I need to accomplish in my planner. I never thought about making my lists into a weekly checklist so that I can actually make sure I get to them all on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Then I came across the UpUp Creative shop of Julie Green on Etsy.

One of her sale items is a personalized checklist to better your life.
(picture below)
I give her all the credit for the original idea. If I didn’t see her design I would continue to attempt organizing my life with post-it notes. I wish I had the money to just go and buy her version, but one thing about being an artist/designer is that sometimes it feels silly to pay money for someone to do the work you can make yourself. I had fun spending an hour just making the list for myself in Illustrator. It’s just for me and I don’t plan on making it for others, or using it for profit, or even using it in any portfolio because clearly I’m copying someone else’s work. If you like the idea and want one for yourself just visit UpUp’s Etsy shop!
