About

The Story in Short...
I am a creative. I don't have it all together- although I like to pretend I do. I have hit a point in life where I don't know what or where to go next. So it begins...

This is Me...
I am a graphic designer with a background in print. Yes print... a dying art that makes me sad. I have worked with the same company for almost 10 years, and sadly the company has been bought and I no longer have a job. Although I take on many freelance design projects, I am currently looking for a full time job, but as expected, most people are looking for web designers or UX designers. Not my cup of tea. There is just something about holding a finished piece in your hand that really appeals to me. But anyway... let's move on...

I love creating. Weather it be with a computer, or with my hands. It doesn't matter. I am talented. I know this, I have family and friends that remind me everyday and for that I am lucky. My problem is that I don't have a focus. I have had one failed (in my mind) Etsy shop and another shop currently in need of attention. I am not sure where I want to go with it.

I also recently discovered, because I don't have enough going on... that I have a gluten allergy. Although really upset at first, I have been gluten free for about a month now, and actually am feeling better than before. I am still learning. This is a life long process.

I would love to have success in something I built from the ground up. But what that is... I am in the process of discovering.

More of the Details...
Although I say I am "new" to blogging... I really should say I have little experience with blogging, because I have done this before- more than once. The problem with me blogging is that I am lazy at actually posting. My head is full of ideas of what to post, and then per usual... I get sidetracked and a month goes by with not even a visit to my own blog. Lazy is not a word I often use to describe myself, but in this instance... it's the only way to describe my lack of posts. Once my blog goes with out attention, I tend to lose interest, and move on to something new.

I am familiar with blogs. I, like a lot of people, read them everyday. My feeder is full of them (insert sad face for google reader going away). I admire the dedication of bloggers who can post daily. I admire even more the bloggers who cook, paint, draw, make and can document the process. My process usually goes something like this... "will this work? Let's see". 9 times out of 10 what I start with for an idea is not really how the project plays out.

This blog is new and hopefully different. I am not going to promise "one post per week" or that I will even have a schedule like I have in the past. Maybe eventually, who knows. The truth is- I have no idea what this blog is going to be like. I was just in the need for something new. I am hoping that getting thoughts, ideas, inspiration or what ever else comes to me all in one place, will help me figure out what I want to do next. Do I want to revamp what I already know? Do I want to start on a journey that is completely different than anything I have known? We'll see.

What I can tell you is that I have LOTS of ideas. More often than not, I can't get them out of my head quick enough...

What's with the Fox?
Have you ever just had a thought in your head and ran with it? That's what I did. For week's I kept thinking (on my long commutes to and from work) that I wanted to start a new blog that was completely different than anything I had done before. Per usual... I got so caught up on what to name it and what it should look like, that I finally said to myself "run with the next idea you come up with" and so the fox was born. The thought of a fox with glasses put a smile on my face.
