have yourself a merry little christmas!

"Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name"
Merry Christmas everyone! Let us not forget the true reason for celebrating this time of the year. Hope you have a joyous day full of family, food and lots of laughter!

moodboard / natural

Now, I have done some design work in the past, but nothing recently. Until now! I am working with a fellow blogger and friend on her upcoming business venture - everything from the logo to the website to her branding materials. I am over-the-moon excited! I have been wanting to get back into design and she gave me the perfect opportunity. So if you are in the need for any design work, just drop me an email. I'd love to work with you on making your dreams become reality!
Our aim for this project is to remain simple, clean & natural but adding a hint of whimsy here and there. We are going with tones inspired by nature - greens, golds, blues. This of course is right up my alley. I knew from the beginning we were the perfect match. The project started a little bumpy - it just didn't feel like her. So we started with a clean slate and now everything is going smoothly. I am loving everything we've created so far this round. It just feels right.
I cannot wait to reveal the results with you guys. We are hoping to have everything completed and launched by the beginning of January so be on the lookout! Have a wonderful weekend!

let's get coffee, pt. 3

01. What's the #1 most played song in your iTunes?
02. What is something you learned in the last week?
03. What is your favourite ice cream flavour?
04. Do you prefer wine, beer or mixed drinks?
05. How would your friends describe you?
01. Not surprised, Daydreaming by Paramore with Figure 8 by Ellie Goulding coming in a close second.
02. Take each day as it comes.
03. Sadly, I can't eat ice cream often because it upsets my stomach. However when I do, it has to be pistachio. Hands down, the best. It is a nice balance of sweet and salty which is right up my alley.
04. I am a mixed drink kind of girl! I hate beer and can't seem to acquire a taste for wine. Give me a Georgia Sweet Iced Tea and I am good to go!
05. Artistic, feisty, introverted, honest & loyal. Somehow anytime I ask a friend to describe me, feisty always makes it on the list ;)Now it is your turn! Feel free to answer any and all questions in the comments below. I look forward to reading your responses!!
