i got so busy!

And it's not getting less busy! But luckily, I got a new full time job that doesn't make me want to throw rocks at co-workers -- it's enjoyable, but adds to my busy-ness.

PROJECTS

• Family Wrench - Web site. CHECK.
  
• Sunrise Montessori Academy - Web site. Brochures. Business cards. CHECK.
• Final Class Project - Brochure. (Got an A!) CHECK.
  
• My Online Portfolio. I put a deadline on myself. Wise or unwise? Not sure. Check it out: hellochristine.com
• In The Stix - Web site, brochure. It's an adventure/hiking/kayaking/all-that-fun-stuff-that-requires-good-hiking-boots company. I honestly can't relate. I like to go for a tumble in the woods every so often, but not hardcore like that. In fact, the last time I went hiking, I'm pretty sure I fell out of a tree. It hurt.

Here's a look at the finished stuff:
The Family Wrench Web site.


The Sunrise Montessori Academy Web site.


And business cards! I love business cards.

i love weddings!

Weddings are beautiful. Just think -- this is the moment that a couple chooses to share with their friends and family, to share their love and hopes for their new future together.

Oh, sigh. So lovely.

My dear friends have finally decided to get married! They are going to fly to Vegas and get hitched -- which suits them perfectly. He will wear jeans and she will wear flip flops.

Actually, she's wearing this dress. And flip flops.



Here is the happy couple.



They are having a gathering to celebrate when they get back from the Little Chapel.



I imagine them looking like this, standing in front of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Oh, and Bonny really is quite tall with the legs of a gazelle.



And here is what I am working on.



I am so excited and happy for them!

a fresh start

It's a new year, a new city, a new leaf.

I am terribly excited.

It is quite unfortunate that I chose to escape the harsh winter of New York and flee to Kansas City right in time to be hit by the unusual winter weather that is sweeping the southern part of the nation.

I do have to say that it feels like home. Home during the winter. With the cold and the snow and the ice and the wind.
