Again and again with the Mondays. This week I will: Celebrate Bethesda Restaurant week at Grapeseed Keep my desk clean Write cards to my spread out across the country girlfriends Run and Run and Run and Run Watch Wipeout + Project Runway + Secret Life NOT USE MY ATM CARD UNTIL FRIDAY : enough is…

I had to order some after seeing Kelly’s amazing cards. They were printed by VistaPrint and I am happy with the results (and the pricing). If I order again though, I will go with the glossy finish instead of matte. Otherwise…very, very cool.

My plan for today was to run some errands then go to Starbucks and dream up a website. But instead I took a look at my messy TV room and nearly went back to bed. It looked like a craft bomb exploded. I have been organizing and packing etsy goods down there. And I have…

Yesterday, I bought a fantastic book. Called FIVE. It is not so much a book to read as a book to look at and enjoy. The typesetting alone excites me. I have been thinking a lot recently about the next five years. And who I want to be then. If five years ago you had…

Wanted to answer a few questions left in the comments or via email: + I use a cheap Polaroid camera that I bought at Target. It does nothing exciting except spit out pictures. I did not even realize there were multiple types of Polaroid cameras until seeing the amazing work of artists on flickr. My…
