It’s St. Vincent Friday again! What better way to celebrate than posting a picture of her. What a beauty.
Of course you do…I talk about her nonstop because she’s my best friend! Holly picked me up from the airport when I got back from San Francisco a few weeks ago and we took these fun photos, ate pizza and had a sleepover. I was sad about leaving California, and found her presence to be so very comforting.
Holly is swinging through my town tomorrow and I get to have a dinner date with her! How lovely, I can’t wait. She’s going to stay with me, too, which will be a nice way to take my mind off the stresses of school and work!
HOORAY for HOLLY!
colour palettes! yay!
This is the most invaluable resource for me: FREE color palettes through the online community of color enthusiasts (!!!!!!) at Colour Lovers. C linked me with this site and I’ve gone crazy on it checking out all the palettes and getting inspired! I would consider myself a “colour lover.”

I must be doing something wrong. I lost a follower! What should I do? Start having giveaways with my stuff? Post videos of me juggling and eating Oreo cookies? Cut my hair into a pink mohawk? Post my credit card number? I’m at a loss.
Oh well. I’m a busy gal and that’s the bottom line. Here’s the good news of the day:
• Had a review for the BA exhibition that I’ll be a part of (PSSSST…it opens March 7!) My stuff was approved (even though it’s not done) (my professors are placing their trust in my hands) and I am excited to show. I’m working on some signage for Rubbish & Bosh (see these posters, which will be in the show). It’s a large hanging sign and I’m excited about where it’s going. I’m starting to find a niche with 3D sign making and it’s something I’d like to continue.
• Received a lovely gift in the mail from a beautiful Oklahomian named Kat Hodges — an autographed David Sedaris book! Wowowowow! THANK YOU KAT and JAVEN.
• Took a 3 hour nap in front of the heater…on my bedroom floor. Passssssed out! So delicious.
• Now roaming through my computer’s Font Book. I have 346 fonts.
Let’s see if I can accomplish anything tonight?
I’ll leave you with this man:

So, so much work to do…
Semester is just starting and last months of college are in overdrive!
I need a stunt double to work magic for me.
Dr. King is greeted on his return to the United States after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Oct. 31, 1964
“
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through his example – the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership. On this holiday, we commemorate the universal, unconditional love, forgiveness and nonviolence that empowered his revolutionary spirit.
We commemorate Dr. King’s inspiring words, because his voice and his vision filled a great void in our nation, and answered our collective longing to become a country that truly lived by its noblest principles. Yet, Dr. King knew that it wasn’t enough just to talk the talk, that he had to walk the walk for his words to be credible. And so we commemorate on this holiday the man of action, who put his life on the line for freedom and justice every day, the man who braved threats and jail and beatings and who ultimately paid the highest price to make democracy a reality for all Americans.
The King Holiday honors the life and contributions of America’s greatest champion of racial justice and equality, the leader who not only dreamed of a color-blind society, but who also lead a movement that achieved historic reforms to help make it a reality.

Can I tell you a secret? Today for the first time ever, I had one of my secrets published on PostSecret! (I’ve been sending in secrets for years.) The funniest thing about it is, it’s a secret I sent in over a year ago!
I won’t tell you which one is mine…just leave you to guess!
