Awesome Studio Handbook...

I was just sitting here playing around...doing the hunt for who knows what...LOL and came across this awesome handbook with tons of beautiful lettering.  I am kind of a font freak... When I was young...back in the days... I took this great lettering class in college.  Loved it...even though I didnt make a career of it, I really had fun playing with letters...hand painting them, drawing all types of creative type letters...I even did an airbrush painting of my initials which I thought at the time was amazing!  Today though...WOW...there are soooo many fonts, I have such a hard time not downloading them all...LOL..

Sooooo, I hope you enjoy this handbook as much as I do!

Sitting here making some new creations

Its been way too long since I posted something fun or beautiful...so I decided I would make a post of what I am creating right now.  I wont show you a picture of it, mainly because I am hoping to submit this design very soon to a magazine once I am done with all the pics and write up.  But I will give you a little bit of a mental visual..

So, to set the mood, I am listening to quiet music on Pandora...love their easy listening music, but I am not crazy of the ads...but since I dont pay for their services, I must suffer them out..LOL  I have some nice hot tea, a glass of water...seed beads, sea glass beads, and my essential tools with a nice bright OTTlite shining brightly sitting near my granny glasses so I can see what the heck I am doing!  My notebook is on hand, along with a fun glitter pen with black ink...didnt realize it was glittery until the ink dried and to my surprise...it sparkled!  You know one can never have enough glitter..heheheh  Oh, and beside all of this cluttery fun stuff, sits my camera waiting for my beck and call!

~I just love my mug...it was a gift from a friend..although we dont drink or shop a whole lot~

Now for the real visual...this is a picture I took at the coast last weekend...My birthday present get-a-way with hubby...  Pacific Star Winery and Fort Bragg...love the ocean!

I did enhance the colors and played with some fun features on my newest version of Paint Shop Pro.  If you love to play with images..I strongly suggest this software as an alternative to Photo Shop..but I do use them both... 

I miss the coast...we were told there are 3 ways you can live on the coast.

1. (1) you either have lots of money
2. (2) you have a successful business (growing pot..hmmmm)
3. (3) you live a life with far less than you have now. 

Well, I dont have lots of money, I dont sell pot, and I really dont want to live in poverty if I can help it. So, looks like we will stay right here in our happy little house, cluttered with all my (and hubby's) stuff!  Well, now we have our youngest moved back in, but only for a month until he gets himself settled in his newer place he is going to live.. hopefully with less stress...  :-)

So this is it for now...  More coming soon..I promise!
