You've Got the "Power"

Check out the logo design I was asked to do for Florida Energy Choice, a start-up company hoping to bring competition to the energy market in Florida.

I love working with companies that have a great cause behind them! I encourage everyone to check out the energy options in your state.

 

Bang!Boom!CRAFT! ... and RAIN!

Despite the record amount of rainfall last Sunday, the beginning of Bang!Boom!CRAFT!, which was organized by Nice Things Handmade, was fantastic! With a cool summer breeze and turn out of over 5,000 people it was a great way to start a show.

Unfortunately, the rain sent everyone packing around 2:30 and didn't let up the rest of the day. I managed to transport almost everything safely and only lost a couple product packing pieces to the downpour.

I loved being able to set up at a craft fair so close to home and can't wait for the next event off Passyunk Ave!

Tacodelphia

  
Just a few more changes to make before I get it printed. The final piece will be a tri-fold on 11x17 paper, so much easier to read and follow along :) Super excited about how this project is turning out for the Map Making Skillshare class with Anne Ditmeyer.

World's End State Park

Just a few of the pictures I took on our trip to World's End State Park in Forksville, Pa. It was one of the most beautiful parks we've camped in and I definitely plan on returning to finish up more trails.

 

Forksville General Store, this was one of the only stores / restaurants in the area we were staying. They saved us when we were ready for some fresh coffee pot coffee!

 

Becky's Ice Cream was definitely worth the drive to the town over. 

 

The view from our tent in the morning and our dinner of veggie and chicken kabobs, bacon wrapped asparagus, beans, and baked potatoes! We were taco free for 3 days, possibly a record :)

30th St Craft Market

It was beautiful all day Saturday at the Porch at 30th St.

It was a really unique spot to set up, and overall, I had a great first craft show experience!

The City as an Egg

I recently signed up for a map-making class on Skillshare, which has resulted in some seriously intensive internet searching on unusual maps.

Here are some examples, that I found rather interesting.

USA Flags

There are so many ways to approach map making. I really like how different they all are. My favorite ended up being Cedric Price's simplified map of the City as an Egg.

The Story of a Family Who Lost Everything

If you know me, you know I have been excitedly waiting for the return of Arrested Development, which premiered on Sunday.

I also was super excited to have my Secular themed love card been featured in by Etsy in the "Top 15 Arrested Development Etsy Finds".

This Tobias-themed mug, made by A Bird in the Hand, is probably my favorite from the list of goods...although it is hard to pick just one.
