It has been about a month since I have updated, shame on me! I really want to keep the blog updated at least once a week, because I have a lot to share in my life. First of all...
TODAY is my Birthday!! Very exciting 23 :) We celebrated this Easter weekend with a giant strawberry shortcake and too many candles for me to blow out at once! One highlight is the adorable puppy that Will got for me! We named him Cody and he is so sweet! I don't have the good pictures on my computer yet, but you can be sure that I will post them soon!
I am also very excited because I got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
on Blu-ray! I am a Potter fanatic, which you will find out soon enough when the summer and last movie release come around!
You may remember from my previous Chicago post that one of my favorite paintings there is Nighthawks by Edward Hopper
. My mom gave me a print that I will be getting framed for our new place!
I've had a wonderful birthday weekend so far, and I am hoping for an equally wonderful day :)
I wanted to tell more about my Frontgate experience, but I didn't have a chance because they kept me very busy and tired! They launched two new websites over the past 2 months, Grandin Road and Frontgate. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to help with the graphics side of the two sites. It was very tedious work but they paid me well and I met a lot of great people. My last day was Friday and I am taking a much needed "break" to work on my crafts business and freelancing. I am considering starting my own design company, so I am hoping to be available when they need temps again for the Halloween and Christmas seasons.
I have a lot more to share, but I don't want to overwhelm you with it all! I will be volunteering at the Crafty Supermarket in Cincinnati the first weekend of May, so I will tell you more about that opportunity in the next post. Of course, I will also be sharing photos of Joe and Ashley's wedding and the DIY ideas that she had!

My mother-in-law got me the Vera Bradley Laptop Portfolio
, which I desperately needed since my current laptop bag had straps that were hanging by a thread. This bag is really great because it has a zipper pocket for your cords and anything you need to store. There is a pocket on the other side perfect for papers and books. The inside includes a sizer block to hold smaller laptops, like my 13 inch Macbook, in place. It holds laptops up to 17 inches, so if I get a larger computer in the future I don't have to buy a new bag, I'll just take the sizer out.
