September 23, 2011
This week has been absolutely bonkers. The weeks up until mid-October are just going to be insane, I tell you. But I've made sure to squeeze in as much fun as possible. Here's what's been going on:

Remember how I posted about this delicious flatbread technique over at Rhodes blog? Well I shared it over on Simply Modern Mom with a few adjustments. I make flatbread sandwiches using this technique at least twice a week. It's soo good I can't get enough. Check it out & go make yourself some Rhodes flatbread right now.

I make yarn pom poms for decorating our tree every year, but this year is going to be different. Check out Skip to My Lou for how to make killer jersey pom ornaments using old t-shirts. Heck, use this tutorial to accessorize your hair. I know I'm going to.

Last night was the best night out I've had in a long time. Jill, Libby and I drove to UVU to listen to JESSICA HISCHE (my design/lettering/illustration icon!). She was so inspiring, transparent & approachable. Honestly, I'm more thrilled about meeting her than I would be if I had the chance to meet Heidi Klum. She's way awesomer. (No offense, Heidi, you're still cool, it's just Jessica is cooler). I hate my expression in this pic; it's a little scary - but you see my excitement?!? It was a dream for Jill & me to actually meet her. So much talent right there. Seriously. That woman can letter circles around me. Also, I'm way jealous that she & her husband live in San Francisco. So jealous.

What are you up to this weekend? I'll be teaching another calligraphy class - can't wait!
