Times they are a changin'

     Today faired to be much better than the past couple of weeks. I had an interview for an assistant custom invitation designer position at Party City. I'm super excited about it because I really do enjoy doing design work. I'll admit it's been a while (4 years) since I've had to design anything for print. But I think that getting to do something that involves both retail AND graphic design would be fantastic. Seeing some of the cool things Diane our local specialist has done really got me feeling creative this evening. So I think I am going to force myself to finally sit down and get some things accomplished this evening. Not to mention I shared on facebook that I will be having a giveaway soon! So I have to come up with something super duper exciting that will catch peoples eyes and make them want to enter to win it! Aiming to have the contest up and posted before this weekend! 

    Ohhhh speaking of this weekend! I'll be going to the Vintage Marketplace at the Springfield Flea Market on friday! I was lucky enough to win a ticket from the lovely Theresa at TimeWorn Interiors, so not only do I get to meet lots of awesome people but I get to get in fo free! Heck yeah! I'm going to take my camera. So be prepared to see lots of pointless pictures! I'm sure I will take pictures of lots of cool things I cant afford and awesome ideas that everyone has come up with! Ahhh...I'm getting more exciting while writing this! Should be a uplifting fun filled weekend! 

Today's Question

Have you had anything happen lately that just made everything seem like its going great?

Slacker Sunday

    I'm slacking on keeping up with my daily posts! I've been rather busy this week/weekend though. Thursday was mom's birthday so I didn't get to do a whole lot online then. And friday I woke up feeling horrible so I slept most the day. Saturday I spent the day with my mom, because for her birthday I bought her 2 tickets to go see "The Lucky One" in theater. Of course we went out thrift store shopping before we went to watch it, picked up a new lamp which I loooooove and a glass jar with an eagle imprinted in it. Last night I hung out with a good friend of mine while he was working at a local corral. Met lots of new...interesting... people there! Haha! And last but not least, today was dedicated to watching and bidding on some items on an online estate auction! It's like junk pickin for lazy people! I love it! Got 9 lots of items for only $30 bucks! Lots of little goodies and a few bigger pieces! An old rusty metal fan, a 6 drawer workbench and a paint covered 6ft wooden ladder! The workbench I may be repurposing into a dresser for my own room. Gotta see if I can cram all my clothes into it first though or if it will even fit into the area I want it to! 

    I'm forcing myself to shutdown the laptop and take photos right now though! I have been putting off taking product shots for the past week! I really gotta get to it now though! So catch ya'll on the flip side!
