*Sigh*

Sneak Peek

Below are a couple spreads from my degree project. Can't wait for it to be finalized...only 2 more weeks! When it is all finished I will definitely post all about it. At the moment I can barely write another word about it.

Parental Units

Check out these awesome mother's and father's day cards from Hello! Lucky , I got my dad the BBQ one for father's day a couple years back. I also got them an anniversary card from this letterpress company. I love the complexity of the drawings, paired with the small color pallete.

22 birthday

Today is my birthday and this is how I wish I could have celebrated it, but that is not the case with only one month left until graduation (literally one month today). But my friends made it very special and made a surprise birthday party and I am not sure exactly what is going on tomorrow but I know there is some other birthday party which I am really looking forward to!

My friend are the greatest my roommate got me a box of small items for my summer of commuting into New York City for my internship at Martha Stewart Living. She got me a small bottle of sheer sunblock, some packs of gum, a tupper-ware case for eating cereal on the run and a bunch of other great stuff. The craziest thing which goes to show how well she knows me is she included a Bumpit which is really funny because I have alway wanted one, but felt it was a big waste of money and I NEVER mentioned that I wanted one to her. I can't wait to try it out!

The Great Urban Race

I have been watching the great race, and I love it! I want to be part of it...but I don't think I am actually going to apply for it. But in the mean time I became aware of The Great Urban Race, Which seems like so much fun. "The Great Urban Race is a wacky urban adventure. Teams of two solve twelve clues, have a wild city adventure and complete fun challenges while discovering the city in a fresh way."

These are located all over the country in big cities. It cost $50 dollars to participate, but seriously I can't imagine a much better way to spend a day, and what a good date idea!

Subtle Safety

I read about this in a book, and it caught my attention because this summer I will be traveling around New York City on my own and I need to consider safety. I know that 9 times out of 10 the weapons people use to protect themselves end up getting used against them so I will probably not buy any thing like pepper spray. But this does not seem like the kind of thing that could be used against the wearer. It is designed by a jewelry company out in San Fransisco, RedStart Design. They are marketing it more as a way to remember to make safe choices rather than an actual weapon. Would you consider wearing this? I am not sure if I actually like the design or it, but the concept and function is interesting. How to you ensure your safety?

Unexpected soft things

These lights look so cozy, How sweet would they look on a bed...well just like the picture below. I feel like everything about them is perfect, except that you cannot really adjust where they will shine, say if you're reading a book or something. But OH MY GOSH! they are so pretty like little twinkle stars.
