Day Before Thanksgiving

I know that Thanksgiving is tomorrow, but I figured it will be such a busy day for everyone, so I'm going to do my Turkey Day blog today.

I'm so thankful for everyone's support!

Weither you're one who reads my blogs, buys my designs, or simply visits my site, to you I say:

THANK YOU!

Seriously, it means a lot to me & I appreciate every single person.

I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving Day, and eats WAY too much. haha.

I always watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and each year they showcase the musicals on Broadway during it. Seeing that most of the musicals have or are closing, though, I'm anxious to see who performs tomorrow.

Now onto store news...

Some new designs have made their way into the store:

-Audrey's Garden
-Peace & Love (seen above)
-Bunnie-Loon

So, if you have a minute, go take a peek at them.

:)

Have a great weekend!

All you need is L-O-V-E

Brand new design in the store! It's called LOVE (if looking at it didn't give that away. haha).



You can order the design on so many items, such as a tee, hoodie, or even a tote like the one you see here.

So, if you have a few minutes, stop by!

In other news...

Taylor Swift's new album Fearless dropped this week. I'm not a country music fan, but for some reason, I absolutely love her music. The lyrics are what really draw me in half the time.

I've had just about every song from the album on repeat all week. If you're a fan of hers already, then I'm sure you'll love this album just as much as the last.

She's also on the cover of CosmoGirl for December. She's wearing this AMAZING Vivienne Tam black dress in the issue. I would post a picture of her in it, but seeing that I always get my copy of the magazine in the mail way before it hits newstands, nobody has the pictures online yet.

I guess you'll just have to go see it for yourself when it arrives at your local grocery store aisle. haha.



Toodles.

November Notions

This is such a magical time of year.

As soon as I flip my calender over to November (Yes, I have a wall calender. haha. It's Andy Warhol.), I start getting excited for all that this season could bring, and what memories occupy my thoughts from the past.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and has been as long as I can remember. I always wake-up in time to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, as my house gradually fills with the scent of delicious food.

It's all a sweet reminder and kick-start to another great holiday... Christmas.

The feeling in the air is undeniable. I absolutely love it and look forward to it each and every year.

What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving-time memories?

DIY Video Filmed

Just posting to let everyone know that I just finished shooting the DIY Video! It'll be up tomorrow.

This is me in the shirt I made for the video. There are actually two templates that will be up for download that you can use for your shirt. One is the skull that Aly has on her tank, and the other is the butterfly that is on the shirt I made.

I love the rigid and distorted outcome of it, with the lace. Lace is usually looked upon as very girly, and so this puts a different spin on things.

Check back TOMORROW for the video & templates, that way you too can make a shirt.

One last thing...

If you make the shirt and want to send me pictures of your creation, feel free to send me the links to them through the contact form on my website.

Chao til tomorrow!

Calm Before the Storm

I completely forgot to tell everyone about my latest design in the store.

It's called "Calm Before the Storm" and it's avaliable on everything from tees to totes.

Tomorrow I will be filiming the DIY video for the Aly tank design, so look for that to be posted by Sunday.

Sorry I wasn't able to get it done last weekend, as originally promised, but I can ensure you it'll be done tomorrow.

I'm going to also be working on some more holiday designs, and I'll update you on when those are in the shop.

Which means Christmas and Thanksgiving are right around the cornor.

I've added a lot more seasonal designs to my store, so if you're one of those people who love to shop early, then be sure you take a look around there.

Unfortunately, I was not able to film the DIY video this past weekend, but I WILL do so this upcoming weekend.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween. I sure did.
