Woke up at 2:45 am. It felt like morning. But it looked like the middle of the night. Could not fall back to sleep. Drifted off into some horrible haze around 5am. Had a crazy dream about banks of light not turning on at work and the backroom being reorganized so I could not find…

Anthropolgie has done it again. Their newest catalog has book pages tacked up as wall paper. I think it looks fabulous. Impractical, obviously, but I love it. Here are some other interesting bits that I have been saving in my bloglines: Carrie's apartment info via Orange Beautiful. Creating a Business Plan article from Design for…

When I went to Europe, I brought a bag of "craft tools" to make an album while on the trip. It was the perfect place to keep all of the random ticket stubs, museum handouts, etc. The STUFF that you HAVE to collect while vacationing OR ELSE. For Hawaii, I am bringing another tool bag…

When I scrapbook, I make 8.5×11 size layouts. Most patterned paper comes in size 12×12. Therefore, I end up with a lot of 3.5×12 inch strips. For this little book, I used the strips left over from my Cupcake Scrapshop June kit. I just folded them in half and stuck them inside of each other.…

I got an email this morning that said "Our duck is better than your geese." And inside was the above photo. Turns out, all the Blaha's are bird whisperers. And we might as well open a bird zoo with waterfowl from around the country. Thank you for the quick response on the new letterpressed adventures.…

So the thunderstorms never came around. But it turns out that one can only enter the pool area when there is a lifeguard on duty. Even if they are 23 years old. Even if they are moderately decent at swimming. Even if they are not planning on touching the water. So I decided to venture…

Once upon a time, I had grand plans to lay in the sun today (with SPF 30 – obviously) and stir up some sort of pigmentation in my skin. I am currently blending in to our very pale couch. And if it was not for my Fushsiamania nail polish, I might not be able to…

Friday Free Day. Nine more work days until Hawaii. I just called the water department to see HOW we used 5000 more gallons of water this month than any other month in history. They do not know. I do not know. Paul does not know. Both the environmentalist and the cheapskate in me are NOT…
