A little off topic...

We moved to a new office location today. Besides the few complaints we've already received from customer service (who doesn't like to hear a screaming stuffed monkey fly across their cubicles?), my view of the mountains is nice, and we still have plenty of our quirky art "stuff" around. Check out the newest member of my desk:

Mexican Boa Worm

He started out as a basketball player trophy awarded to me for being the "tallest and youngest at Biblica"... but then Buster came in and stuck my boa worm on him. I got angry about it, and stuck a Mexican's face on it. Take THAT Buster!! Now I have a Mexican Boa Worm for being the tallest and youngest at Biblica. GO ME.

He's insanely tall in comparison to Napoleon Dynamite.

The new workspace. I can't complain. It's...fine.

The left side of my desk (and the top of Sarah's cute little blonde head).

The right side of my desk. (I know you didn't see that coming.) It says "MEL" btw. 

The kleenex box is just covering the "L."

My cool view. I like it. ^_^

And after a LONG nine hour day at work, and all the projects I worked on, I made this Bible cover the last five minutes at work with my wacom tablet and the a nice scripty font I found. Uhm... yeup.

I love random moments in the midsts of completely stressful times. -_-

The End.

Pre-Wedding Mahem

Still so much to do... and only 26 days until I become a Mrs. =) 


Some of my little projects...

Wedding bells. 

These little guys were tricky when it came to putting ribbons on them. >.<

Kind of Cute.

Love Paint.

I had to paint something- so it started with our initials... and graduated to...

A Mailbox.

Orange. Very Orange.

So. Much. Orange.

You should see our living room, dining room, and my room.

Orange everywhere.

It's kind of pretty.

Time.

Making your own bookmarks seem like a good idea... until you actually have to do it. 

1. Figure out what you want on it (the most timely of all steps). 2. Get it printed. 3. Wait for them to arrive. 4. Punch lots and lots of tiny holes. 5. Cut lots and lots of orange ribbon. 6. Tie ribbon.

Still... not... done with them.

And that's only a piece of everything that's going on around here... <3

So I started a blog...

Why? Maybe because I'm a little fearful of what my pastime will become once wedding planning is no longer in existence for me. Or maybe it's because facebook has become a tad bit boring. Maybe I just want a place to document the crazy little nothings that happen all the time in my life... whatever it is, my life for the past six months has been nothing but wedding planning and designing, which designing is what I do for a living, so wedding planning has become my little "hobby," and that's soon to go away. I've decided to blog about my new life as a wife and designer. I've only been a professional graphic designer for a little over two months now, and I won't be a wife until October 9th. In the aspect of design, I want to share my thoughts, my interesting design lessons learned, and possibly some random design team stories. I have also become quite the elite DIY bride, and absolutely love it. So I'm thinking this may be a trend in my life, and I predict many more DIY adventures to come (poor John). Also, I'd like to become a semi-good cook, so I'll document a little of my cooking masterpieces... and disasters. So I start blogging... much to my fiance's dismay. (The only reason he really opposes it is because this morning he watched a movie about a blogger that would write intimate details about her life, including details about her husband... so I see his precaution with it.)


After my wedding, I'll work on designing my own template (so no one hound me for using a pre-made one), and hopefully get the time to document some of my crazy pre-wedding projects and moments.


I love cool evenings in Colorado.
