Roadtrip with my coworkers #1

 

My coworkers and I + Dean went on a day trip. But my friend definitely tells the story way better than I can so I'm going to let her tell the story. (Guys, she's a copywriter. She writes scripts and clever taglines. My writing capability of a designer can't compete with that.)

For the story, click here.

Also, I definitely looked like an asian tourist, with my straight bangs, asian looks, messenger bag, & most importantly, a holga camera around my neck. But hey, if a white Blondy wore the exact same outfit, with my haircut, and a holga camera around her neck, she would look like a normal artsy girl. NOT FAIR.

Raspberry Goodness!

Sorry, I accidentally deleted the post! So I'm rewriting this.

I've always wanted to go berry picking. Luckily, Saturday was the perfect weather to go pick some raspberries. I heard from a friend about a farm in Spanish Fork where you can pick your own raspberries. 

Dean and I had so much fun picking berries. We ended up picking 5 pounds of raspberries! The couple who runs the farm were so nice, they gave us a discount on the berries we picked. They even threw in some tomatoes for free! 

When we got home, I decided I wanted to make some jam. This was my first time making jam all by myself so it was really exciting. I made 8 jars of jam and we still have plenty of raspberries left!  If any of you have any suggestions on what I can make with raspberries, let me know!  

Also, you can get a glimpse of how I've decorated the kitchen/dining area. The white & gold prints you see on the wall are from one of my favorite design studios, seesawdesign. They used to be a 2011 calendar but I couldn't wait until next year to frame them so I cheated!

PS. I am officially back to blogging now that pre/post wedding madness is over! And no, I have not forgotten the promise I made about posting my wedding pictures. I just have so many that I can't choose which ones to share!

Mini Update!

My wedding photos are done! BUT I still haven't gotten the actual files yet. So here are screen-shot versions of a few of my many favorites....

PS. Lately I've been feeling a little down about Etsy. I feel like it's starting to get over-rated. I'll find a few vintage etsy shops that may have a few items that I think are ok but other than that, my feelings for etsy has slowly been dying. Until I saw this shop! They seriously have the cutest collections of everything. Not to mention that the photography is great and the pages are categorized by COLOR!!!!! LOVE IT Rox & Sam!

Paris!

My friend Amanda (she's a great designer!) had this on her blog post. And I decided to give it a shot although I have terrible luck when it comes to winning things.

I've actually been to Paris twice in my life. But both times I wished I got to explore the city beyond all the tourist spots. If I go next time, it'll be nice to have a local be my tour guide!

PS. I promise I'll post an update WITH PICTURES of my wedding when I get them.


UPDATE: Didn't win :( But doesn't matter because I've got a little wedding picture sneak peak!

SELLING MY CONTRACT!

If you know anyone who is looking for a spring / summer place, I live right by campus!

I think I found the one!

So for about 6 months now, I've been looking for a tote bag. Something versatile and yet in my price range. I think I found it! SeeSaw is doing a giveaway. Hope I win!

And guess what I purchased last week? Remember these?

Genius!

Genius Idea. Thanks Design Crush for sharing!

Maybe when I'm married and poor, this is what we'll do. (Slash, I really want an excuse to try this idea.)
