Give it some gas

So, I took my little boy to the Denver Aquarium last Saturday along with his "Agi" {that's short for grandmother in Cherokee} ... anywhooo ...

We were killing some time down in on the Broadway Antique district and I came across this site. Gasp!

I LOVE this old gas station and had dreamy late afternoon visions of having this type of building to house the whole Bozeman Collaborative and, more importantly, the BirdDog Press. It is just perfect with the nostalgic look and garage doors plenty big enough for presses and bindery equipment to move in.

Someday.

Roller Coaster! Ooo Ooo Ooo!

When I was a little girl, my dad used to sneak me on the big roller coasters at the amusement parks even though I wasn't tall enough – according to the ride rules – to get that stomach-in-your-throat thrill. We would hold both hands up in the air and chant "I'm not scared ... Oooooo!" and laugh (even though I probably was)

Same is true today I suppose. I am on the rollercoaster ride of mompreneurship and I just printed these coasters to prove it! Stationery Show .... here we come ... I'm not scared .... OoOoooo!

crazy good, like a fox

Okay, worries are over for the time being. I have entered my calm submissive state. The show must go on.

Today is Earth Day. One of my favorite days of the year next to loved ones' birthdays and Halloween. Today I will be sending my friend some foxy cards that I printed on the BirdDog Press like this one in honor of her son who left this earth nearly a year ago. They are planting a beautiful garden in Cash's name at the Children's Hospital in Denver. One may remember a poster I designed for his benefit concert earlier this year on his birthday. Cash is an angel watching over his Mommy and Daddy these days – often appearing as a curious fox on an evening run near their house. His foxy spirit will always be with us.

super stressful serenade

eek. having a super stressful day. feeling overwhelmed with projects for others when the focus should have turned to my own studio projects over a month ago. i just can't seem to get ahead no matter how hard i try. not for a lack of inspiration or motivation. just never enough hours in the day. i just popped over to iomoi.com because i love their designs. this one about sums up my current state of mind. must find a mantra and push through.
