This and That

One of my favorite things about design is change. I do something different each and every day. I’ve known for many, many years that I am not the type of person who is able to sit still for long periods of time. Physically, yes … mentally, no. The wheels are always turning, which proves to be both a blessing and a bit of a challenge! At least that’s what my husband will tell you, especially late at night when I can’t stop talking!

When I started looking for a career, design was such a good fit. Not only was able to tap into my creativity, but I would have the opportunity to work on different types of projects and even mix in my nerdy computer side. I love tuning into the mindset of a client and putting together something that fits their brand. Whether it’s whimsical, modern, vintage, simple or full of color, bright or muted … the wow factor upon seeing the end result never gets old. Here are a few variations on style. Enjoy!

Grateful

The week started off and everything was organized and ready to go. I was on top of my game, maybe channeling a little “This Girl is on Fire” … had a little swing in my step. Kids/school/activites … check. Work … check. Cooking dinner … check. Laundry … check. I felt great about my workload and client schedule. Even though the kids had a ton of activities, there was a plan and I was confident it was going to work.

We had an unexpected funeral mid-week and then things never really got back on track. It’s a domino effect. One thing shifts and it sets off a chain reaction. It usually leads to evening and weekend hours, little sleep and an abundance of diet soda.

Our Christmas decorations are still up. I was pulled over for driving with expired plates. October. Are you kidding me? Who does that?? Apparently me. I was so nervous I couldn’t even find my insurance card. That’s not good either. It’s probably worse when you tell the officer it’s at home and he’s welcome to stop by. Nervous word vomit. Gets me every time, but I did only get one ticket instead of two.

Our house isn’t clean, we need groceries, we now have overnight guests staying this weekend, a surprise 40th party and a 92nd birthday celebration for my grandma. I’m embracing the crazy, getting caught up and for all of this … I’m grateful. I’ve been inspired by this project and you can see what I’ve come up with here. Let me know if you join in! Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
