Quote Poster Mom's hug

This quote is a good reminder to savor the moments you have with your friends and family when you’re together, and cherish those moments when you’re apart. Just like that sunset pictured above, the light and the glow last long after you can’t see the sun anymore.

Enjoy your weekend! Happy Mother’s Day.

Birthdays Are Always Better On Fridays

| terriaw

TGIF! Weekend Postcard tools A few highlights from the week:

  • I received great news of more freelance illustration projects coming my way, perhaps a new collection of licensed art each month.
  • I illustrated a new map that I really love and entered into a design contest. (did you vote yet?!)
  • We had a great visit with my dad last weekend. We spent the day at his upholstery shop, helping him with a new computer set-up.
  • All of our snow has finally melted, and our brown matted grass is slowly starting to perk up.
  • We finished our taxes.

Birthdays are always better when they land on a Friday. Happy Birthday to my husband Dave! Dave at Cabo Wabo The first thing I remember about meeting him was his great laugh! He does love making people laugh. Dave also loves Las Vegas, donuts, cats, Coke, pizza, carbs, movies, video games, Journey, Rush, 80s music, taking things apart to figure out how they work, science, space, chocolate chip cookies, the beach, and so much more. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, he’s obsessed with napkins too. Everyone has their quirks. I do admire him for his individuality, confidence and convictions. I count my lucky stars everyday we’re together.

We’re going to a swanky place for dinner to celebrate, and then we’re going to the Zoo this weekend for some adventure. Happy Friday to you. Enjoy your weekend!

TGIF, Friday Five

| terriaw

Yay, it’s Friday! Time to reflect on things that made me happy this past week, and share a new weekend postcard featuring one of my recent photos.

Weekend Postcard grackles

Here are five highlights from my week:

  • A coworker brought in large coffees from Starbucks for a meeting. Buying me coffee almost always makes me happy.
  • My first licensed art illustration project is done and submitted.
  • Catching up with a long-distance friend always brightens my day.
  • Great advice from a mentor about human behavior helps me keep perspective and stay positive.
  • A haircut and fresh highlights put a bounce in my step.

In between general weekend fun and adventure, I will also be working on a logo design for a client, getting a new branding project lined up, and looking for my next freelance illustration project.

Happy Friday. Enjoy your weekend!

TGIF – Weekend Exploring

| terriaw

Yay, it’s Friday! Time to reflect on the past week, and share a new weekend postcard featuring one of my recent photos.

Weekend Postcard Avantis Bar

Five Highlights:

  • It has been a busy week at my day job, and a busy week of freelance illustration work.
  • I was excited to receive a request to purchase a print of my butterfly infographic map, so I listed it as an art print in my shop.
  • We’ve had some warmer temperatures so a lot of our snow is melting fast.
  • I can see our grass again, which is a treat, even though it’s brown and muddy.
  • I received some great snail mail this week, including postcards from California, Ohio, and Northern England. I also got another beautiful illustrated Paris Letter.

I am immersed in a freelance illustration project with a chocolate focus, so it will be a busy weekend full of fun design work.

Happy Friday. Enjoy your weekend!
