Tickle Me Turquoise by Flakes Paperie

Co-Op Crush

I've got major web-love happening for the Lost Type Co-Op. This super stylish site offers a collection of fabulous fonts with a unique twist - you can pay whatever you like and your donation goes straight to the designer of the font. Genius, right?!  

Sweet

Loving the new crêperie downtown...and the fact that Cory surprised me the other day with both a savoury and sweet to share. Serious husband points were gained. Obviously.  

Pink Sprinkle donut

Cute, right?! It's a busy time in the FP studio - lots of wedding invitations in the works and a whole slew of brand new greeting card designs will be completed in the coming month. Sit tight for some exciting new paper goodies! 

Two tunes for Friday

Finally Friday is here! I plan on attacking some overdue house projects this weekend (groan) as well as getting some more printing done for the upcoming spring One of a Kind Show...and of course, I'm most looking forward to some quality vegging with Cory. I'll leave you with two songs that have been playing on repeat while I illustrate my latest card designs. Have a great weekend! 

 

Don't let the naked man fool you, the build up is totally worth it...

 

Shoppe

If you still don't have a 2012 calendar, they are now marked down by $10 so get 'em while you can! Also, check out these floral thank you card sets just added to the shoppe...

Toronto Life Weddings

My good friend Kelly's wedding, which you may have read about here or here, is featured in the 2012 edition of Toronto Life Weddings. Yeah to Kelly + Murray! Is that one good looking bride and groom or what?! 

Of course I was also excited to see a shot of K+M's Flakes Paperie stationery included in the spread. This current issue is on newstands now and of course I recommend picking it up to see all of Kelly + Murray's details, as well as the other fabulous Toronto weddings and vendors featured. To close, because I loved them so, how about a shot of their program fans once more...

Guilty Pleasure

My mid-morning snack prompted me to wonder, is a thirty-something gal too old to eat pop tarts? 

Studio tunes

Loving this entire album right now...

 

red berries and fresh snow

It's with great sadness that I put out our Christmas tree out at the curb this morning...ugh, I hate that part. It was a wonderful holiday - lots of quality time with our families, lots of eggnog (my Dad's is the best), loads of damn good food (too much according to my waistline) and the joy of the season culminated at our annual new years eve theme party - this year, a 1980s Olympic theme. Neon headbands and spandex never looked so good let me tell you. Rather than embarrass myself with photos from that ridiculous (and blurry) night, how about a few wintery shots from Collingwood last week. The trees were heavy with fresh snow and pulling into the driveway of my parents' cabin with the Christmas lights glowing...sigh...it was winter perfection! Now let's just hope it doesn't last too long...  

Hope you have a happy holiday...

Just two more days until Christmas!  Last year at this time Cory and I had just returned from a nice little trip to NYC. Here's a little video we took one afternoon while waiting for the subway. I think we let ours go by at least twice so we could keep enjoying the music. Sigh, one of the many reasons I love New York at Christmas...
