Some of you may have noticed the ALT button on my sidebar the last few months. It's a cool-looking button, eh? Well, I'm proudly going to be attending the Altitude Design Summit this weekend, and I couldn't be more excited. The speakers are going to be out-of-this-world awesome and the activities are going to be glam-fabulous. I'm super excited. In preparation for the conference, I needed to print more business cards. Of course it wasn't going to be a simple re-print of the cards I gave out at BlogHer. Oh no. I need to redesign my site, cards & everything. It kind of snowballed into this huge thing. As you can see the site hasn't changed, yet. Lame. I've been a little busy getting the business cards perfected. Didn't they turn out beautifully? I bought some small envelopes a while back, and decided I'd use that to package the business card. I also designed a die-cut vinyl sticker that says "i still love you" in my own handwriting to stuff in the envelope. They're gold. You really need to see them in person to really appreciate it, but they're beautiful. It's so funny how a printer can make or break your day. The printer who did the stickers for me gave me a good deal, so long as I weeded and cut them myself. Weeding is when you peel out the negative space of the die-cut sticker, which is time-consuming and unusually fun. The weeding was a piece of cake, and so was the cutting. . . well, until about 11pm last night when my rotary cutter slipped and took a turn for the worse. You want to know how sharp brand-new rotary cutter blades are? Effing sharp. It went clean through my nail and through part of the pad of my finger. It even took out part of my middle finger. It was a good thing Chris was around to help. Penelope wouldn't be much help in a situation like this. Gross, hu? I was thinking about giving myself a manicure for ALT, but this was clearly not the one I had in mind. Chris so kindly scoured the entire Salt Lake valley for steri strips and got me some old fashioned liquorice to bite down on for the pain. Man that hurt. He's thoughtful, isn't he? Besides the minor set-back of having my index finger out of commission, things are moving right along in preparation for ALT. I can't wait for tomorrow!! Tomorrow night is a 1920s social and I have the perfect dress for the occasion. It's orange (awesome, right?) it's real hand-dyed silk, it's from the '50s and it was my grandmother's. I love it. Are you going to ALT? Are you excited, too?!?
