I’ve been working on a few new designs lately…a T-Shirt for a local political organization, my twitter background & a few print pieces. I love visual and graphic design for just about anything. When we talk about events for the church or for the community, my marketing and advertising wheels start churning!
Even though I’m looking for a job right now doing what I know best, admin, or finance — my heart would be most complete working in the back of a sweaty print shop, designing business cards and such. Actually, lets step that up a notch…wedding invitations and such.
People ask me all the time, why don’t I pursue that as a career? *as the excuses begin to fly* — It’s my arch nemisis, alter ego, slightly O.C.D, people pleaser side that cringes at the thought of constant complaints and construction from the public. yikes. it’s there. It’s not just the miniscule issue of receiving ridicule, it’s my “never satisfied with less than the best” attitude, that tends to drive me to perfection.
So the Finance world was a fit for a while….until I found my creative free bird side was going crazy to CREATE!!!
Right now, I’m just having fun desiging my little ads and images, balancing our checkbook and discovering the in-between.

Just wanted to say that I’ve read a few of your entries and I find you absolutely amazing to read. You are creative and interesting, and I love the fun yet serious spirit about you. I would love to just email you and get to know you a little bit. I don’t know how old you are or what excactly your life situation is, but it seems like you may have some wisdom and life experiences that could be of encouragement to me. Have a great day.
