Fabulous Finds and Worthy Causes.
Ok, dear readers, I still have an upcoming surprise to show you later on this week, but until that's ready, here are a few sites that I have to share.
The first is a webzine created and run by one of the most original girls I've ever met. Miseducated.net is a great place to read up on a bit of whimsy and build community with creative chicas from around the globe. Be sure to check out the penpal cafe where you can post a personal ad for your very own snail mail pal.
Next up, a fabulous find and worthy cause combined into one. Found thru MadebyGirl's blog, Improv Everywhere is a group dedicated to spreading joy thru random and massive acts of hilarity. Spend some time browsing their many 'missions' including the Look Up More dance sequence. In the meantime, here's a taste:
[FYI: I plan on participating in this one next year since I'll be in Chicago and actually have access to a subway.]
And finally, the sexiest of the worthy causes, a commercial deemed too scandalous for the Superbowl:
I'm seriously contemplating going full veggie [and not just for better sex], I've been slowly making the transition for years and I'm thinking of kicking it into high gear soon.
I'll keep you posted.

A is for Adorable. C is for Cards.
Another adorable find in article research.
This one actually made it into the final list, but I just had to post it here as well. Made by Girl is an artist-owned company that I just happened to stumble upon [it reminds me of something one of my creative college friends could come up with, entrepreneur-style]. Adorable and quirky, Girl's designs are right up my alley [and printed on recycled paper, of course].
My favorite: the 'you're my peanut butter, i'm your jelly' valentine.
A is also for Apple. As in Apple #3 for my design class.
I went for a children's book theme:
This one was actually harder than it looks since I had to teach myself how to change the gradient tool from grayscale to red [which took me about a half an hour...I'm not proud of that, but at least I got it].
Last Note: Be sure to check out my article on WUNT that resulted in this fabulous find.

heart of glass
So I'm working on composing an article on environmentally friendly valentine's day gifts [hopefully I'll finish it up tomorrow]. Anyway, this evening as I googled for eco-fabulous gift ideas, I stumbled across a find that might force me to make room in my cabinets for more glassware.
The Green Glass Company not only recycles wine, beer, and soda bottles to make their products, but they also use environmentally friendly production and shipping methods to produce their oh-so-adorable cups and goblets.
My favorite: the multilingual 'protect our Earth' goblet.
Another favorite find: [given my fetish for all things bluebird] this baby bird ring made from recycled silver.
And my last love would be perfect for V-day cards: I Wheelie Like You Cards printed on cotton rather than paper.
