a visit!

ian, emily, and addie are coming to town in a few weeks! can't wait!

water...plus a party

colorado is dry. because of this, it is important to keep myself hydrated. therefore, i purchased a bottle that holds 8 glasses of water. i fill it every night, place it in the fridge, and bring it to work the next day. this is all very well and good and seems like a successful plight, and yet, often times, it's unsuccessful. this is because i find the taste of water to be a bit boring. i really love water when i am super thirsty or during a workout, but during my work day, i need more excitement. this is where the crystal lite drink packets come in. as of today, i am a first time user and i have been very pleased with the results. these little crystal lite packets are a great invention. they are sugar free and add a party to your otherwise boring water bottle!

these are the books i have read over the past couple of months. i actually listened to "kill the messenger" on cd when i drove to utah a couple of weeks ago, but i think that made it all that much better cause the guy who read was AMAZING! and i am not quite done with "the lost symbol". i saw "the lovely bones" in the theatre a few weeks ago. it was ok, just like the book. not my favorite. "the lost symbol" is mediocre. "kill the messenger"...phenomenal!

life's work

i love my job. some days i hate it. but i am grateful to have it. i work with interesting artists, i meet new people all of the time, i get to be creative, i get to organize, and most importantly, i get to be me. i think it's what we do that determines who we are. and i guess it's who we are that determines what we do. either way, i think that heavenly father sets it all up in his own way. and some how, it becomes our way too, even if we didn't expect it. but in the end, it's what makes us happy that is important.

cover art

i made a cover for my sewing machine. i designed it specifically to my taste. pink, purple, and wild!!! plus, with the signature "L" on it, it will never be mistaken for any one's sewing machine cover but my own!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Valentine's Day was always one of my favorite holidays. All the way from elementary school through highschool i enjoyed the colors, the candies, and the boys. truth be told, i have been in love at least a hundred times. even if it was for fifteen minutes. i strongly believe in love and all of the wonderful things that come along with it. i don't believe that i myself will ever be married, but i feel that those who are married are very lucky to have found someone to share a life with. john lennon once said, "all you need is love." i think a person can do anything and will do anything for love. and if that is the case, then all we really need is love.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

i was on the news last night!

for some reason it only shows a half screen version, but you get the idea! this is the show we have been toiling over for months! sweeney todd!!!

poster art

i have friend who commissions me to do what i call "poster art". i draw an image and he makes it into a theatre poster for a show he is directing. this is the fourth image i have drawn for him (oliver twist) which i finished today. i am posting three of the four (the other two are a halloween show and into the woods). i don't know where the one i did for rabbit hole is. i like doing these little drawings. i put them in my portfolio and earn some extra cash on the side. :)

lost and found

i was going through some old emails and i found these pictures!!! i haven't seen these photos for a while because my lil laptop is giving me troubles and won't start up. what a great time we had in annapolis! i loved every moment. (i believe there are some pics in there of us in dc as well) i love looking at pictures that i haven't seen in ages. floods of memories!!!!
