Best of 2009 roundup/catchup
I apologize for the brief interruption in blog posts! Christmas was sneaky this year and left me *almost* unprepared. I was scouting out stocking stuffers on the 24th… so last minute I am at times.

My most favorite packaging this year is 100% for sure the Francie Pants Packaging! I am so so happy with the way it turned out. This was my first stab at packaging design, and working together with Ciaran and Patrick from Francie Pants, we totally nailed it. I keep a box on my desk and [...]

Best book I have read this year – Gary Vaynerchuk’s CRUSH IT! Why? Being an entrepreneur, naturally I was drawn to this book… I pre-ordered it. I waited and waited for it to come.

I can’t think of a favorite article. I have lots of boring articles that I have bookmarked and reference from time to time… mostly design stuff and freelance stuff. My favorite reads lately have been from my kids. With school in full swing, there are plenty of papers being written around this homeschooling house. A [...]

You know, the thing I like most about Gwen’s challenge is I have to reflect on this past year. I have to sit down and think about all the fun, exciting, crazy, wonderful things I did over this last year. Being a mom to 8 wonderful children.. married to a fabulous husband, working a day [...]
