TypeOh! Tuesday #83

Happy Tuesday! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! It was mostly the same as every year at my house this year, minus my brother and sister in law who spent it with her parents. They stopped by on their way back to Jersey yesterday morning, and finally, the family felt complete. Guess I lost a little bit of time in all of it, just realized it's Tuesday and I hadn't posted anything! My original plan was to head back early tomorrow morning, i.e. 3-4am-ish, but my parents said there might be some snowy roads in PA and part of my drive down to Binghamton, so I might postpone til early Thursday. My goal is to drive straight through again, so being held up because of snow would not make me very happy. 16 hours is enough travel time to begin with without being held up. Anyway! Since it's the Tuesday before 2012, a little wine type - my favorite kind, to ring in the new year. Happy travels and have a great new year's!

Happy Tuesday from NY! I ended up driving straight through on Saturday and got home a little after 3am; I think I'm still recovering from that :) so amazing to be home with the people I love most, and eat my mom's incredible cooking! Have a wonderful pre-Christmas week!

home.

So, this is happening tomorrow. Or, part of it anyway.

I don't think I've been this excited in all of 2011, even though I'm looking at a 17 hour drive. Probably won't be posting much aside from typeOh!'s until the new year, going to soak in as much family as possible. Hope you all have safe + happy weekends! See you next week from NY!

TypeOh! Tuesday #81

Happy Tuesday! Today is an especially happy Tuesday, because my next Tuesday will be spent at my home in NY with my family! Time could not be going any slower than it is for me now; I haven't seen either of my parents or sisters since last Christmas..it's been a difficult year, to say the least. Anyway, I was listening to The National at work yesterday, and caught this line (from 'Baby, We'll Be Fine'), which seemed fitting with the holidays coming up, and my unending love of argyle patterns. After I threw some digital type together with it, it came off a lot more sarcastic than I originally planned, but I like it better this way, even though I think of it in the opposite. Also love the line, 'all we gotta do is be brave, and be kind,' was torn which one to use..maybe that'll make an appearance in a future Tuesday. Posted the song below if you fancy a listen, loveee the alligator album, major props to my friend, Mark Elkins for introducing me to that one.

Holiday Invitations

Had my holiday invitations approved over on graphic river yesterday. Also broke the 600 sale mark and over 100 followers! Love the envato marketplaces :)

TypeOh! Tuesday #80

Happy Tuesday! This past weekend I attended the Indian wedding I had created the invitations I posted on here, as well as a bunch of other items (i.e. programs, water bottles, escort cards, etc.). It was pretty amazing seeing a different culture first hand; I even wore a lehnga that I was given as a gift straight from India! So, there was very little time to get some hand type in this week, which I really wanted to do :( Instead, I've decided to show off my favorite artist's handwriting, Kurt Halsey. I was super bummed to find out he's closing his shop because of tough times..my apartment has a LOT of his artwork in it, so here is my very heartfelt wish that his work returns much, much sooner than later.
