Sugar Cookies! Don’t get me wrong, I have a wonderful relationship with oatmeal cookies (sans raisins), as you may have noticed by description to the left. Oatmeal cookies are a responsible, family cookie that I knew would always be there for me. Sugar cookies are my guilty mistress. They have no pretense of nutrition in…

Hardest button to button
Me at 4:25 am this morning after finally finishing my button packaging. Oh the life of graphic design. I assure you, I worked really hard on this project from when it was assigned until I finished it last night despite the last minute-ness.

5: Classes I would love to take

One for each day of the week
I have a lot of glasses and I feel like I should explain that I didn’t pay a lot for them. I get them from this sketchy website called Zenni Optical which has starting prices at $8 for single vision frames+lens. You have to pay more if want bifocals, if you have very strong prescriptions,…
