7 things you may not know about me....

7 Things
1. If given the opportunity I will eat Nutella straight out of the jar, and it be gone in less than a week.

2. I have ‘practice – sketchbooks’ and real sketchbooks. I’m too nervous to write all my thoughts/ideas down in my ‘actual’ sketchbook. I think this is from years of reading ‘found lost sketchbooks’ type things from long-dead architects. What if I write a stupid note to myself and someone finds it 200 years from now. Perfectionist much?

3. I don’t have a Mac. I always get gasps about this one since I’m a ‘designer’ and all. 2 Reasons a) They didn’t make AutoCAD for Macs until very recently (like within the past few weeks). b) The boy is an engineer, he can fix/take apart/re-build a PC no-problem, but a Mac would be the equivalent of Chinese finger trap for him. I enjoy having my IT staff in-house.

4. When I lived in Italy I didn’t like wine. Tragic, I know, and I think about it every-single-day. Talk about a wasted opportunity. I still drank it of course, but I didn’t appreciate it like I would now. I love wine now.

5. It really bothers me when my toenails are shorter than the end of my toe. I don’t like seeing the nail stop short of where it wants to go, it is trying to protect the top of my toe (which I need because I’m consistently clumsy) and I’m going to let it do its job; much to the chagrin of my pedicurists.

6. I'm loose (and not in the sexual way).  I'm very flexible, especially in my arms/shoulders.  If my hands are handcuffed behind my back, my shoulders are flexible enough to allow me to rotate them around to the front of my body.  I should do a video of this - it's kind of gross.

7. I only wear my hair completely down maybe 30 days a year.  It's curly and unruly and I'm lazy.

Two exciting things...

1. I got a DSLR for Christmas!!!




Quite excited about that!  Now I just have to figure out all the shmancy settings.   I also got some best-buy gift cards, so I'm going to grab a filter and probably the 50mm f/1.8 lens.
Let the picture taking commence...

2. I'm thinking of starting an Etsy store.  I love designing paper goods, and will mail out a virtual invitation for just about any occasion I can think of - so the store would be full of goodness like that.  Birthday party invites, cute notecards, maybe some wedding invitations?  BUT I need some help on the most important part....the NAME!

Heres my short list so far (well really its the whole list):

•fourth and folded
•crop
•mrs.ink
•gloss
•spread
•tint
•p is for paper

Any suggestions?!
And what was your favorite Christmas gift?

I added reactions to my posts!  So, if you love me - but not enough to leave a comment - maybe you love me enough to just click a box?

We are now featuring :
Like It, Love It, or Gotta Have It

Um, yeah - those are also the sizes at Cold Stone, because if we are being honest, my life really does revolve around ice cream.
