In a former life (a little over a year ago), I was a radio personality on a local country music station. It was awesome in a lot of ways .. free concert tickets, got to meet a lot of famous people, they sent me on a free trip to Nashville for the CMA's, plus I talked for a living. I do way too much of that already, so why not get paid? All-time favorite famous person I ever met? Had to be Miranda. (Not at all a fan of Luke Bryan, though. Another story for another time.) It is also where I started utilizing my love for graphic design in a professional capacity. Fast forward to now, when I get to mash up my love for country music and graphic design (and self-deprecation). In all seriousness, music is a huge outlet for me. I come from a musically-inclined family, but I never quite got the itch to be musician. My mom signed me up for piano lessons down the street in my neighborhood. She was constantly on me to practice and go to my lessons, but she eventually gave in and let me quit. What can I say ..

So, my sister is SUPER pregnant. She is due at the end of November with my third niece (first kiddo for her and her husband, though). Funny thing is, I wanted so badly for them to have a little boy. Probably because my brother-in-law is a baseball coach, and I just couldn't help but picture this little brown-haired, blue-eyed future pitcher. I had every intention of having that little man wrapped around my finger. But, as soon as I found out it was a little girl, I went nuts. Nuts shopping, that is. I have spent more money on her wardrobe than mine this year. It's earned me the title of: My sis is definitely in her nesting phase. She has always had a knack for interior design as is, so I knew the nursery was going to be perfect. And perfect, it is. If you are going to spend a multitude of sleepless nights rocking a screaming bundle of joy, might as well be in somewhere beautiful. The crib is Bratt Decor and was a Facebook sale group deal. The crib sheet is Rifle Paper Co. The chandelier is Pottery Barn Kids. The side table is from Target. I am happy to say that I have contributed a few little additions to her room, including this "C" covered in flowers. It made the perfect focal point on an otherwise empty wall in my house during her shower last month. She also just informed me that she has chosen two of my prints to frame in baby C's room. Ain't it grand to have a supportive big sister? You can find those prints and more in my Etsy shop.
We have all been there. You're in a strange and new place, surrounded by a bunch of people that you don't know (because your S.O. dragged you there). Small talk is literally the last thing you feel like doing, pretty much ever. Besides, you have half a season left of New Girl that you could be binge watching. The worst of it is: here you sit, EATING up your data. You have that moment of deep contemplation .. "Are me and this chick on that level where I can ask her for the WiFi password without looking desperate?" The answer to that is most likely no. Wouldn't it be nice if "this chick" had thought of this: Talk about hospitality! Give this girl Hostess of the Mostest award, stat!

Welcome to the Happy Pointer, conveniently named and modeled after my very happy (spoiled) German Shorthaired Pointer, Macon. This is him on his last birthday, thrilled as you can see. His mama recently mustered up the courage to go after a dream, being her very own design business. And what better way to butter up some new customers than with a FREEBIE! It's fall, ya'll! If you are looking for a fun and creative (cheap) way to thank someone dear to you, look no further! I imagined this as a perfect teacher's gift, but it could really be used to thank anyone!
