This lovely warm saturday morning, Ian has dragged me out to Temecula for the Apple store opening. Looks like a good sized store. Definitely bigger than anything out in the OC.

We will be heading down to Cabo next week. It will be a much needed break from the hubub, as well as a nice transition periord before I start at

Change of Scenery

Today I make the hard decision to leave something I have known and grown accustom to for almost 7 years. Today I turn in my letter of resignation at the Playhouse.

I have been offered a position at SCR, and I am going to take it. I am looking forward to growing and starting a new challenge. However I am not looking forward to being unable to see such dear friends everyday. I will still talk to them or meet up for lunch, but it is not the same. Especially when they have become like family over the years.

It's hard to say goodbye. But I know I need to do it. It is the best path for the moment.

What a lovely treat to be waiting for us when we came back from the beach and State St.

We definately wish we could stay in this caliber hotel more often.

Even the gym was stocked up on uber lovely amenities.

Impromptu weekend jaunt to Santa Barbara. And the hotel is free, which makes it even better. See you all on the flip side of this holiday weekend

Green with Envy!

As if taking on a new business venture isn't enough, I will be tackling some projects for our house in the coming weeks.

Our most recent project is to fancify our windows, without using up a lot of money. Enter in Little Green Notebook and her lovely DIY post Mini-Blinds Yearning to be Roman Shades.

Stay tuned for pictures.

Lynching..

Background story:
So last month I started putting together an online store with items brides would be interested in for custom work. I then add a page to my personal site that linked to this store. Also on my personal site is a listing of things I am purging from our own wedding leftovers as well as a few things from around the house.

As with most websites there is a navigation header on my personal site, and it is visible on the For Sale page. I have posted on the knot and in my signature is a link to the For Sale page in case someone wants to check out what I am trying to get rid of. Per the 'rules' of the knot boards we are no longer supposed to promote ourselves as 'knotties for hire' so I don't have a link in my signature directly to website. But someone didn't like that I had a link on my For Sale page that went to my design site.

Insert lynching here. I have had a few people not like my attempts at listing on my personal site about my new adventure: of starting some semblance of a design company. But my issue is that I am not directly advertising it on the boards or to anyone on the knot. In fact just the opposite. I assist people on the DIY boards, because I like to help people discover their inner craftiness. If people find their way to my storefront it is because they are curious of what I might have to offer, not because I am directly advertising my services on the boards or my website.

I am currently banned from posting on the message boards because of the navigation bar on my website. I have since hidden the bar on the for sale page so that I could be allowed back on and offer my expertise and knowledge to those that want to do for themselves. I have a feeling the folks who are reporting me are other knottie for hire that don't want me to get any business but have links on their own pages about the products they sell. Karma might find them soon. As they may also get reported.

On a happier note, if you would like to check out the beginnings of my storefront go to designs.squared

Collage Time

I have been meaning to recreate a new collage for the most recent years of our lives and now I might have the time to do it.

Here is the one I made almost 4yrs ago:

New Lease on Technological Life

So i finally got a new phone. And one with a full keyboard to boot. I am super excited, as i can not only blog, tweet, and email with better ease, we were able to fix our plan and now I can access the internet and not worry about the per kb charge!
