Up Up, The Blog: and great things will happen

i am...

... an indie business owner slash entrepreneur slash graphic designer trying to find my way (emphasis on MY, not way) to earn a living and do it beautifully. you can find my wares at upupcreative.com or on etsy. i'm also a designer for snapfish and minted.

... a former college teacher and ph.d. student (in english) with a thing for words and a need to speak the truth

... mom to evan (who turned four in june '11 and who cracks me up, frustrates me, and amazes me on a daily basis) and emily (who is the sweetest baby ever ever ever - she will be 2 in december '11)

... married to a lawyer. enough said? nah... i'm just kidding. married to brian (who is awesome and just happens also to be a lawyer) for six years as of june 2011.

... slowly recovering posts from the old blog (see archives) (which, sadly, disappeared into thin air...)

... a post-partum depression & anxiety survivor. if you found me because of that, definitely read through the archives, reach out and say hi, and more than anything else just hang in there.

:: and great things will happen ::

i originally sketched this in my notebook and planned to embellish it before turning it into a desktop wallpaper, but the more i played around, the more i fell in love with just the original sketch, rendered a bit sketchily and in graphite gray.

download it and imagine that i drew it right on your desktop.

cool, right?
