Happy Holidays from Printcopia!

I am so pleased to give a huge shout out to Printcopia.com. They contacted me to try out their photo to canvas printing and it was great! I have wanted to get one of our photos printed to canvas forever, so it kind of worked out perfectly.
I chose this photo of Andrew and I in the Highlands of Scotland. It was COLD.
The process of ordering this photo was ridiculously simple. And it arrived just a few days later.
I need to actually hang it up now…
A photo print would make a wonderful holiday gift and given how quick and easy it is, the hardest part is choosing which photo!
Many thanks Printcopia! Happy Holidays!

Yep, life is definitely better with the illustrations of Ruben Toledo.
I would love to have an enormous one of these hanging somewhere in my house. I especially like this last one with the bobby pin and comb.
a great present

Oh man.
I love my husband very much, but omg I love him even more whenever he gives me presents. Andrew has an amazing, amazing ability to give me the most perfect, thoughtful gifts EVER. ALWAYS. This dates back to when we were dating in high school. He has always given me the best presents. I have received surprise purses, satin pajamas, an autographed first edition of my favorite novel, footie pajamas, my best kitchen tool, an iPad, and who knows what else.
This birthday was no different. When we were in Asheville back in September, we looked at these books together at Malaprop’s and I drooled over them. Of course, they were a little pricey, we left and I forgot about them.
Until…
I opened my present a few days ago and not only did he order me the two basic volumes, but every. single. book. in. the. series. OMG. OMG. OMG. Overwhelmed doesn’t even describe it.
These yoga anatomy books written by Ray Long and illustrated by Chris Macivor are amazing. So beautiful and written in simple language that is easy to understand. They are great.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving–I’m hoping to have a great one full of brisket and birthday, photos to come.
these people look like crayons

Happy Sunday morning! Stumbled across these sculptures from Italian artist Willy Verginer. Loved them–the colors and texture remind me of crayons and you know how much I love that…Ha!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend–I am!
thank goodness for those Gomers…

OMG. MAKE IT STOP. NPR—you are boring me silly. I cannot take anymore punditry, debating, and senseless political chatter. And of course there was all the Hurricane Sandy coverage, which I listened to interested, but wouldn’t recommend for listening…
Thank god for the Gomers, who start a new podcast season every Fall!

some new art

I actually worked on some new projects this past weekend. I’m working on getting my pieces scanned and into the computer with (finally) some decent photos so I can start my Etsy store…Eek! Who knows if I’ll actually sell anything, but hey, I have nothing to lose right?!
Here is a little preview of what I’ve been working on. Still kinda obsessed with this mosaic/stained glass thing.
some super creepy coffee mugs

These photos are pure genius.
I will never understand how photographer Tim Flach is able to achieve such craziness in his pictures of animals. I especially love his dog portraits, but he also photographs other animals. Amazing x 1000.
