Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back!


Waaaaayyy after high school they re-met. I don't have the details but I want to know them. All I do know is they dated back then, they are in love now, they're getting married, and I got to be the designer of an invitation to celebrate it! What a kick!

david vs. GOLIATH


A party with a theme is almost a must. I'm a sucker for any party, but when it has a theme it really sucks me in completely! And it is a delight to work with people that think the same way I do in that regard. Of course working with someone that lets me create a theme is pretty darn fun too.

David vs. Goliath, a splurge wine tasting. I think this is a fabulous theme, and for an auction item at a Catholic School's fundraiser what theme could be better? Well maybe Let's Turn Water into Wine would be an option but I don't think they'd find much success. They will be blind tasting well-known, good and reasonably priced wines with some that are two to three times the price. I don't get to go to the party but I did get to create the invitation for it. And that was fun.

Tools of the Wire-Hanger Trade


The other day someone asked me if I made these cute little hangers myself. Why yes! I do. And since I'm normally behind a computer creating instead of twisting wire I wasn't sure just what I had around the house that would help me with this new creation. So this is it... aluminum wire, wire-cutters (at least I think that's what they are), needle-nose pliers, a shot glass from the San Diego Zoo, a chopstick, and rockin' in the background I've got Keith Urban's latest Defying Gravity. Man he's good! But a shot glass from the San Diego Zoo you ask? Weird, I know, but when the daughter turned five years old we went to the zoo and in one of the many gift shops we said, "You can pick one item under $5." and that is what she picked. Whatever! It works for me now.
