More Bold Fabric Necklaces
I just met up with an old friend, Angela Barrow, last night. I know Angela from our days living in Richmond, Virginia. Angela moved to New York City around the same time I moved to Austin. Since then she has started her own accessories line called Cheek-ie. I checked out the site this morning and it is absolutely fabulous. Check out some of the goods:

Today is the year and a half anniversary of dating my love, Mark. We are going out to dinner and a movie to celebrate. We are going to see UP, and it looks great:
Wedding Cheers
I always like to design my cards with a specific person in mind. In this particular case, there are two people I had in mind. My old roommate Jenny and her partner, Siet, are having a green wedding on July 4th. Jenny loves butterflies, so I wanted a congratulations card with butterflies. After I finished the design, I spoke with Jenny on the phone and found out that her grandmother had just passed away and they had the memorial at a butterfly center.
Here is the design:

June Goals
Before I list my June Goals, let’s take a look to see if I met my goals for May:
May Goals:
1. Design a wedding congratulations card (Congratulations Jenny and Siet!)
I have designed a wedding congratulations card, and plan to post the card later this week (possibly tomorrow!)
2. Design another Father’s Day card (this one will be for my dad)
Wolf Father's Day Card
Check! Added my new wolf Father’s Day card design to my shop yesterday.
3. Finish unfinished art
I completed four 5x7s, i didn’t exactly finish ALL unfinished art I have, but I decided I still get to cross this off the list.
4. Complete text and links for glademade 2.o (Thanks Mark!)
Not only are the text and links completed for glademade.net 2.0, my new site is fully launched! Check it out!
5. Bring card designs to Parts and Labour (South Congress, Austin)
I did not do this, so it is moving to my June goals. Unfortunately my truck has been broken down for most of May, so I didn’t get to do much away from my house this month.
6. Clean and organize studio (I will post a before and after photo)
This continues to be a work in progress. I will try to post the before pictures this week!
June Goals:
1. Clean and organize studio and post before and after photos.
2. Bring card designs to Parts and Labour (South Congress, Austin)
3. Update out-of-date flickr photos, and upload new card(father’s day and wedding congratulations) photos to flickr.
4. Work on a 10 card pack. Mix and Match or greeting cards for each occasion throughout the year.
5. Start research for business plan, and create a time line for writing business plan (time line to start this month).
6. Take a trip to Dallas to research Dallas Market Center. Investigate whether I want to “go to market”. Anyone want to go to Dallas with me?
