Sugar-holic's Return
It's that time of year again, apparently the fall is when I get just crazy enough to try some self-experimentation.
Once Again:
30 Days. No Sugar. No Sanity.

be the lorax.
I've planted a very small seed...
After months of mulling over ideas and stumbling across inspiration, I have finally created my own fledgling webzine dedicated to environmental topics.
Water and sunlight are still needed, but check it out and watch it grow.

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.

piece of [cheese]cake.
Some quick updates before dreaming:
1. Job search: I have my third and final interview at The Cheesecake Factory tomorrow. If I don't have the job after it's done, I must have taken off my clothing and asked the man to help me find my spaceship during the interview. Ok, not really. But seriously, if I've made it this far don't you think I deserve the job?
Note: some of you may be thinking 'The Cheesecake Factory?!? I thought you quit your last job to find something more inspiring.' But here's the thought: waiting tables will [ideally] get me more money in less hours, therefore freeing up more time for me to pursue other interests.
2. Speaking of other interests: I wrote another article Tuesday [see sidebar]. Working half days this week has allowed not only the time to write, but [more importantly] the time to find the inspiration to write. This week's inspiration came while watching the presidential inauguration. Words cannot express the amount of inspiration and hope I get from watching our new president in action so I won't even try. See my previous entry.
3. And finally: another apple.
Is it sad that this progress excites me?
I guess you have to start somewhere.
Stay tuned next week for info on my celebratory last day at Reeves and [hopefully] my first day at the new job.
