Allora…

Yay! I now have 4 nieces and 1 nephew. Vivian was born October 24, 2010. She was 6 lbs 14 ounces.

Can’t believe you’re turning 8 today! My favorite dorito picnic partner!
Love you.

Even happier with a dora pop!

pink eye takes over!

the planning begins! one of my greatest friends Michelle is getting married to the wonderful Christopher! I’m in the wedding…along with Bea! another great cohort. Michelle asked me to do their save the date’s and of course I’m all in. I need to find some time to get together with them to do an actual portrait for them.

I started playing with the type and the numbers. luckily they have some great numbers that will be fun to play with while designing this.

Since I am in the city typically more days than not, I have seen some famous people about. Especially around LC, the celebs run free. Here is a list, so that I don’t forget.

Christine Baranski

Tom Cavanagh

Val Kilmer…looking less like this version of himself:

and more like this version:

My little not-so-much-of-a-baby-anymore cousin GP is graduating from HS, and Aunt D asked me to design the invitation for his graduation party using a nice photo taken by a friend. Cool! Two early versions….pls note for family – the date on the invite is not exact. It is just placeholder text. In case you were planning a trip to Croton for the party.

theee yankees win!

cut off 7 inches of hair. i’m a new woman!

Chipotle marinatead skirt steak, with pepperjack mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts with turkey bacon. and then for dessert? sparkling red wine (can’t remember the name/variety) and lowfat chocolate sorbet!

here is what the couple went with. they asked me to design their wedding invites which is a pretty big undertaking. not so much for the design, but for the paper stock, envelopes, etc. You can have a wonderfully designed wedding invite but if its on cheapy paper – it looks cheapy. So hopefully I can find some good paper resources/printers. I don’t think I can use my usual Vistaprint on this one.
