i love coffee...

i mean i really love coffee.
so of course i want to think about designing coffee cups.
i don't know about you but i'm in a much better place once i've finished my coffee.
that's sort of the idea here.
i hope it's coming through.

enough about the snow...

i've been married a really long time. my husband and i are at the point in our marriage where we joke about getting divorced.
we've even talked about who gets what...so far i think i get everything if i just set him free--ha! believe me at times it's tempting. but on mornings like today, when he volunteers (sort of) to walk the dog so i can relax with the paper and coffee---well, that's about as good as it gets.

and where do you think you're going...

um....nowhere.

if you parked a car on the street on wed you're not going anywhere until maybe april.

if you've got a canoe or amazing boots then you're in good shape. because every time you cross the street, you're waterborne.

how many more days of winter...

winter wonderland or hell?

my first headline for this card was, winter sucks.
and then i thought that wasn't interesting enough.
hmmm...

happy engagement cards..

it's snowing again.
which is precisely why i am posting engagement cards.
winter, snow, white-outs everywhere, bride.
makes perfect sense.

look familiar?

i took this photo on my birthday and thought it would make a good card.
i suddenly looked down at all the crap i use on a daily basis and just laughed.
age defying. age repairing. ageless eye cream. skin tightening.
of course i know all this stuff isn't going to do what it says it's going to do.
but i love these products anyway.
but i'm so not loyal.
the minute something new comes on the market--i want to try it.
as you can see i've got a lot of the new oil of olay rx stuff now.
i like it.
but it's not altering or shifting or defying (yeah, right) the 49 years i wear around my eyes, my mouth, my neck.
what would really be age defying is if i didn't buy any of this stuff.
but why would i do that?

the day after...

i went through all the things i've learned in 49 years and put together a list of my fav's. and because i am exhausted from all the celebrating this blog post is going to be very short.
