Photo-A-Day #7 & 8

Photo-A-Day challenge days seven and eight. Day seven is something that's a favorite. My most recent favorite thing is the camera Zoei got me for christmas, LA SARDINA! I haven't had time to use it BUT, I will plan to take pictures this week. I love LOMOGRAPHY. Day eight is my sky. This lovely evening sky of provo. I'm totally enjoying this photo challenge! It's not too late!

I'm back, and ready to blog

Before I start this post, I must apologize again and again for missing so many Music Mondays! I was going to wait and post this on a music Monday post, but I thought i must take a minute and explain myself and tell where I have been for the past few Mondays, but don't worry, I won’t go on and on about all that I have been doing.. I’ll keep it brief. (I’ll try at least) 

 

1. Designing, Designing and more designing--- It feels like that is pretty much what has consumed me most hours of most days the past couple of weeks. Downside to this: everything else in my life has had to take a back seat. Upside to this: I have so many new designs that I am super stoked to start printing and share them with everyone.

2. Family stuffs--- This also has consumed a lot of my time in the past month. I mean they normally do consume a lot of time in a great way of course, but lately it’s been a lot of family time. Downside to this one: Not very easy to get stuff done with family parties every weekend (using the week before to prep you know) Upside to this one: I get to see my most favorite people in the whole world!

3. Life in general--- You know, work, sleeping, eating, breathing. It’s amazing how many days go by and you realize you really did nothing but just live.

I know, I know, I said I was going to keep it brief, but when have I ever kept anything brief, remember I LOVE talking. So now that you know what I have been up to, I hope you forgive me for not blogging, trust me if you have been missing it, then I have been missing it like a trillion times more (that’s a lot!) So be ready for Monday January 9th, I am going to throw so much awesome at you, you won't know what to do with yourself!!

Over and out-- Gold Canary (explanation on code name coming soon)

And in the meantime while you wait patiently for Music Monday to return, here is a song that I am absolutely in love with. Enjoy!

Yes this is the song from that one commercial! Go to their facebook for a free download of this song!

Photo-A-Day #6 Makes You Smile

Photo number SIX: Something that makes you smile. As always the one and only CHAP-STICK! What would we do with out you, smile a lot less that's for sure.  Pretty awesome isn't she. 

Lets be friends: Chad VanGaalen

I see cool people all the time and always think to myself, man I would love to be there friend. That's exactly what I thought after watching this video. I know what you're thinking, I don't have time to watch a 12 minute mini-movie. But you know what, do your self and favor and take a break and enjoy this video. You deserve it. You can respond to those emails and Facebook stalk people later. Ok, so maybe you don't have to watch the whole thing, but at least listen to the first little ukulele song and there's another one near the end. They are both fantastic.  I'm pretty sure you'll be thinking the same thing I was, I want to be friends with that guy. If you like him check out THIS and if you like the way it was filmed check out THAT.

Oh Chad, you're too cool. - Mint~Tea

Photo-A-Day Challenge!

Ahoy! So yesterday I was reading one of my favorite blogs GOODNIGHT LITTLE SPOON and came across this lovely photo challenge that FAT MUM SLIM was doing. (Her blog also has some amazing tips!) It looked like so much fun that I just had to join!  Although I'm a little behind, I'll just have to play catch up! Which is kinda the story of my life, always two steps behind. 

Mint~Tea

Well ahoy there! So the other day me and Zoei were in the car and she turns to me and says, "If we ever need code names mine is Gold Canary." All I could think was, DARN that's a good code name. Ever since then I've wanted a code name also. But not a lame one that's boring. So after much debate me and Zoei finally came up with MINT~TEA. A few in the running were yellow ostrich and blue moon. But Mint~tea seemed to fit me well. Green is my favorite color and mint green does make my heart dance. Sometimes I drink tea, but I really added that because it sounded cool. So there you have it, I'm not sure if I'll ever need a code name. I can think of many situations were it might be helpful, but none that actually seem like they might happen. Regardless, I've got the name just to be safe. 

Until we meet again- Mint~Tea. (aka) Remi (aka) The girl with the glasses that kinda looks like Ugly Betty

The beginning of the end.

Phew! What a year it has been! So many ups and downs, but we push forward! A new year and a fresh start. This year will be better if not equal to last. Or at least I hope. Oh, the high hopes for 2012. We just sent in our first designs for another company! Its a first for us, so very nerve racking like all new things. Still organizing the studio to get ready for tons of printing. (I'll post pictures soon) NEW NEW exciting happenings!

Lots of new years resolutions for 2012. Getting better at writing more blog posts being near the top of the list.I'm so glad Zoei has been doing MUSIC MONDAY, even though I've gotten lazy myself and haven't written a post for a long time. BUT, today is a new day. With that said, HAPPY 2012!
