Font Friday – April 30
As I said last week, there as SO MANY choices out there for a nice wedding script font. I'm starting on a new wedding invite design project for my friend Kelly so searching for these great fonts at the same time has been good timing.

Meal Menagerie
Going out for meals with young kids can be a challenge. Trying to get them to sit still and be quiet is an impossible feat without some distractions. Most kids like to doodle on napkins but when I was wee, I loved to fold things instead. //Read More

I started my new job last week as a User Experience Designer. Huh? you might say. Well, the best way to describe what it is, is to tell you what user experience design isn't. It's a totally new role for me, a departure from what I've been doing for the past few years but I'm really excited about it. //Read More

I get that not everyone puts as much thought into wedding invites as I do. I'm an admitted wedding invite snob. I do understand that for budget reasons, many brides want to design it themselves.

This is a great resource for any designer and while you may have come across some of these pairings through your own experience, this list is a handy reference if you're looking for some new combinations. //Read More
Clearing Your Own UPS Package
If you're reading this, chances are you've been stuck with an unbelievable bill for customs brokerage from a shipper like UPS. For a while I figured it was par for the course and that shipping goods from the US would be costly. NOT ALWAYS TRUE! If you want to learn how to avoid the hefty fee, read on. //Read More
Patterned and Personal
I love my Blackberry. Derrick wants an iPad. We both own iPods and take our laptop home for work. You can call us slaves to our personal electronic devices, but we love 'em. I was browsing etsy and came across Seaside Sew and the plethora of cute and wonderful pouches, holders, cases and sleeves for all of these gadgets. //Read More

Choosing a font can be like choosing ice cream when there are hundreds of flavours on offer. You see your favourites, some you'd never try and others that can be tasty on the right day. In the end, you choose the flavour that will satisfy whatever craving you have at the moment. When I'm looking for a font, that's exactly how I feel. //Read More
