Happy Halloween

Wow! I am on a role this week – this is my 3rd post! I have really enjoyed having a bit of extra time to scrap…of course, that’s how life is…some days you’re so busy you want to pull your hair out and other days you have more free time than you know what to do with!

A lot of people dressed up at work today so you know I HAD to join in the fun. I found this great bag of candy blood and then these awesome wound tattoos and the whole thing just sort of came together at the last minute. But I really grossed some people out so that made it totally worth it!

I hope you all have a safe and spooky Halloween!

Luck is a Ladybug...

Here are a few more shots from my lunch with Ashley and Griselda! A little ladybug landed on us at lunch so we passed the luck around.

Lunch with girls

I finally found time to do some digi-scrapping. I took these photos last month when Ashley and I met our friend Griselda in Austin for lunch at Romeos. The weather was absolutely perfect and we enjoyed sitting on the patio with our margaritas and beer. It was a busy day in Austin because there was a UT football game and the Austin City Limits music festival.

I am also almost finished with another kit so check back in a few days for a sneak peak!

Keeping Busy

I haven’t had much time to work on personal projects lately because I’ve been so swamped with work and school. So, I decided to show you some of the other things I’ve been working on.

Here’s a logo I created for work – this is for a month long contest in the sales department:


I’ve also been taking on as many freelance projects as I can. I really need to build up my portfolio and build my experience. Here’s a poster I’m working on for a friend of a friend. He wants to display this with his race car at races and shows. Eventually, I’ll add a large picture of the car between the title and the body text - and maybe some smaller photos along the side over the checker boarder. (I’m just waiting on feedback from the owner before I go much further.)

Mystic Zoorific

I have several friends involved in Teams in Training, an organization which provides professional coaching to run marathons in exchange for fundraising to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. This past Saturday, I went with my friends Ashley and Stephanie to a fundraiser at the Robot Art gallery called Mystic Zoorific. Both Ash and Steph have run trained for and marathons with TinT and now they volunteer to help train others.

This fundraiser was quit unique! Zoomagination brought in exotic animals and that we got to touch and feed. Here, we got to take a picture with a sweet little wallaby. There were also magicians, a DJ and plenty of wine and hors d’oeuvres.

Leader Poster

I was asked to design a farewell poster for one of our senior leaders. This was printed and will be signed by all our employees. It turned out so well, I thought I would share it with you all.

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog. It’s been a rough few weeks. Where to start…my company was purchased and is merging with another bank so I don’t know how much longer I’ll have a job. Then, my husband’s grandfather passed away so we were out of town for the funeral. And of course there’s the ever present homework that takes up so much time. I can’t wait for June to roll around!
