introducing...

I’m very excited to introduce yet another side project by yours truly. Appalled at the horrid manners I see everyday, the Mistress of Manners vents her frustrations in a daily tip that even Emily Post would approve. Please take a visit to the Mistress of Manners and submit your questions or annoyances!

portland friends part three

I’m about three months late on this post, but better late than never right? The final person I met up during my Portland trip was Amy Wing. What a gal! She has her own jewelry business and makes these beauties. Available online and at Portland Saturday Market. She also knows how to throw down a doughnut or four. We ate doughnuts at every meal (yes, including dinner) we had together. Anyway, she’s sweet as can be, so if you live in Portland, go meet her at the Saturday Market!

take a moment

I hope everyone can take a moment today to remember that today is not just a day off work, but to honor those who have fought for our country. Traditionally, people take a moment of silence at 3:00pm local time to remember those who have fallen in service.

Sometimes you just have to tell yourself that everything is going to be okay. Head on over to the Pugly Pixel for a fun tutorial on creating a letterpressed look like this in Photoshop!
