Gift Idea for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is May 11. Yes, it’s coming very soon…so you better be close to having a gift ready for your mama. And if you need some help with gift ideas, I have one just for you: a Moo MiniBook! For those of you that remember, a while ago I put together the MiniCards that I would get from Moo swapping into a small, landscape art book (you can see that here). I would take the MiniCards and write up short notes about each one—what... Read More

Dear February: I Need More Photo Inspiration

It’s the second month of Project 365, and the challenge of taking one photograph a day is getting more difficult. I think I’ve exhausted the photos of my animals, and I know I’ve already taken photos of all my trinkets at home. And I’m not sure how many more selfies I can take (the bathroom mirror has been part of my photos for at least three days of Project 365). I go through Flickr’s Explore pages all the time to... Read More

Happy New Year

I love NEW! New Year, new starts, new everything. And to welcome 2008, I’ve got a new website. Again. I can’t help it. I think it must be a designer thing–the need to have to redesign everything I’ve designed. It’s also a writer’s habit. Write, rewrite, and so on. But at least it keeps us artists active, eh? Well, in addition to the redesign, I’ve resolved to stay creatively active throughout 2008. I know... Read More

New Favorite Person

I have a new favorite person. Her name is Ali Edwards. She’s a scrapbooking celebrity. Now, I know I’m not really the scrapbooking type, but all the stuff she does is beyond cute. I think it’s quite artistic. There’s depth to her work, and I call it more of mixed media collages than scrapbooking. If you’re curious, visit her blog: aliedwards.typepad.com. And she also has a Flickr site. You’ll read and see pictures... Read More

Brandon and 3D

Walgreens had these free 3D glasses, which were perfect for Brandon who has been working on making 3D photographs. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Brandon and 3D", url: "http://www.thinklia.com/2007/10/23/brandon-and-3d/" }); Read More

The Countdown Begins

I just turned 26 a few weeks ago. Not a milestone really, but I am now officially on the downhill of adulthood I believe. I’m too close to 30 (I’ll probably have to start buying Oil of Olay here pretty soon), and I’m starting to feel uncomfortable. Sounds Debbie Downerish, but it’s true. The other day I was reading through an old issue of STEP Inside Design, and I came across that wonderful “ink & circumstance”... Read More
