quarter centur-aversary

Today is my 25th birthday! Although today is shaping up to be a thunderstorm ridden and rainy day in Georgia (and also a work day + monday), I got a full dose of pre-birthday fun this weekend. Thought I'd share some of the memories I'm sure to hold onto.

The night began at Canoe, a really sweet and classy restaurant in Vinings, right near the Chattahoochee river.





After our delicious dinner, we headed downtown to probably one of the coolest bars I've ever been to, Ormsby's. They had every bar game available including two full bocce courts, shuffle board, pool, darts, two skee ball machines, and a shelf stocked with board games to play with your friends at the tables. We grabbed a table, ordered some drinks, and to my HUGE surprise, my friends had brought along a home made cake!







..and got me some sweet starbucks swag, too! (minus that cranberry vodka, of course :)



After a game of yahtzee, and three games of uno, we headed over to one of the skee ball machines for a little more fun (one of my new favorite games, btw).



On our way out we spotted a photobooth, and knew we had to take advantage!



What an amazing night. And what better way to end it than with some "fireworks"....

Doodle Patterns

I've invested a lot of time lately creating seamless patters, and I'm kinda proud of them, so I wanted to share. All were created from scratch by hand, scanned in, turned vector in illustrator, then cleaned and made seamless in photoshop. A little bit of a process, but well worth it when I add a pattern overlay in my layer styles :) These are also all available on my new digital fold website/shop.

Happy Tuesday! The letter S is up this week, and I've brought back doodles for some mixed media type. It's been awhile since I sat down and really laid out a doodle I was happy with, and now I'm glad I finally did. I went new apartment shopping this past weekend, so thankfully I'm no longer 'lost at sea,' but I definitely felt like I had been before that. I've got something else in mind I'm excited to post this week, so stay tuned! Have a great Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday! The letter R is up this week, although I'm much more excited to talk about the other type I put up. A couple days ago, I officially launched my own online shop! It was a good few months in the making, and I'm so happy of how it all came together. It's a digital goods shop - so no physical products - and every template offered for download can be used for forever. You can check out the site here, and I'd love any and all feedback (it is my first online shop, after all). I'll be getting some new freebies posted as often as I can, too, so be sure to check back or follow the facebook fan page or twitter. Have a great week!

Happy Tuesday! The letter Q is up this week..can't believe we're almost done with em! The second piece, dreams vs. reality..is based off of a conversation I had last week with my sister. She's got the hectic college life going for her, so her sleep schedule is always off, which makes her dream more, and mix reality up with it. I could definitely relate from my college days too..I wonder if it's something a lot of people do. Anyway, hopefully you can make out the 'reality' from the dreams (look close!). Have a great week!

Happy Tuesday! The letter P is up this week, and a little bit of sorbet for winter nights that aren't freezing. I guess it's just a kick I'm on lately, but when I see raspberry sorbet in the ice cream aisle, i stand there contemplating, and can't bring myself to walk on without it..and don't even get me started about the magic that happens when it's scooped in as part of a smoothie :o) In other news..in case you missed it, the Nuna Petunia mark was included in Abduzeedo's Typography Mania post last week, along with some really amazing others. Click here to see em all! Have a great week!
