I subscribe to so many different blogs and things through my google reader and email newsletters. As I read through my reader items and emails, I use www.delicious.com to bookmark and keep all the things that I like and want to look at again later. I found a way that I can put it on my blog and kind of like it. I made it a page, so if you are bored and want to see some of the things that I’ve been looking at and loving online lately just click on “link love” in the pages list on my blog (right now it’s in the top right hand corner, but that may change if I change my theme). Or you can visit my delicious page.

Looking through all my saved bookmarks though, I just wish that real life could be as cute as the world seems online.

Maybe someday I’ll get there.

Mostly I love the blue ceiling and want to do it in my house… hmm. Which room to pick?

As much as I love skirts and own many of them though, I do not love hanging them up.  I’ve tried many different options for hanging skirts: skirt hangers, folding them over regular hangers, just folding them… I didn’t like any of them.  Really, it just all boiled down to the fact that I wanted a way to hang my skirts, keep them mostly wrinkle free and still be a lazy as possible (sad, I know).  Then one day I came up with a fantastic idea:

Small, light-weight hooks, made by 3M with the little removable sticky thing on the back.  I had an empty wall next to the door of my closet, stuck a bunch of these little hooks on the wall in rows and dun, dun, dun daaa-SKIRT WALL.

I kind of love it.

I put up the top row, then about a foot below that, staggered the other rows below it.  Using the tags inside the skirts they hang up very nicely and surprisingly stay pretty wrinkle-free. The best part is, after a long day of meetings and church, I can come home and slip the skirt off and hang it up. My skirts have no longer become a decoration for my floor.

I’m thinking of making a similar one for my purses, I just have to find the right wall.

We also rearranged the office just a little while ago to accommodate a new desk that we bought for Bryan.  I love my new space.  My desk is not looking right out the window, but when I turn I have a beautiful view of the park behind our house (before I had a wonderful view of the power lines and the church).  Here’s where I was before:

Here’s my new workspace now with the great new pictures above it.

I kind of LOVE my new space.  I think the pictures above the desk work so well.  After I take the time to make Bryan’s desk look better, then I’ll post pictures of our whole office.  Since both of us have our own computer and like our own space, we have two desks in our little office and it’s a little cramped, but I think we’ve done pretty good at making it look nice anyway.

Sometimes, I’m just so proud of my decorating skills…

Another exciting thing:

The last couple of days at work, I have been creating a special VIP invitation to an event we are putting on for the President of our company and a couple of other important people.  I was talking about the invitation with some of the other designers and we came up with the idea to do a pop up card to invite them.  So with Andrea’s help we came up with some options. We had some big plans for out of control mountains popping up out of the card, but we took a little different route. So today, I finished it and I think it turned out really cool. We only need to make five.  We cut out all the parts today and will put the cards together tomorrow. I’m pretty impressed and was very pleased with the final results. (the pictures aren’t the best… sorry)
