Paperself

Now that's just a little crazy.



These incredibly detailed papercut eyelashes are by Paperself. I would be afraid to blink while wearing these, but I'd feel like I had something to talk about with my most stylish friend, Jillian.



I wonder how Dita would feel about these...

Good Ideas

This Pennant Rubber Stamp Roller by Cathe Holden is so cleverly simple, I want to make one right now.


I can't stop watching the organized chaos of This Too Shall Pass, by Ok Go. Suggested by Mallory. Another fun video for this song is here.


This promotional video for Design Week Vancouver has made my list of needed office products one gadget longer.

Ridiculously Excited

All I'm saying is that fortune cookies come true. I have one more week with the company that laid me off and then? Then I start smiling bigger every day.

Because I have a job. But not just any job. A job that is frighteningly close to my dream job. At a company filled with some of the coolest people I've met. I'll be sharing more details as I settle in.

I hope it's as great as I imagine. I hope I can make a difference in their company. And, like a nervous kid on the first day of school, I hope they like me.

Lost Things

I have a thing for stop-motion photography. Clearly.

My Fortune Changes

Last Monday afternoon I was told by my employer that they would be ending my contract in a few weeks due to budget restraints. Obviously I'm sad and a little unsure about the future, but I am confident that this is an opportunity for me to find something new that I love. And I don't only think that because my fortune cookie told me so.



I want to let you know why my posting may be a little sparse over the next few weeks. I'll be polishing and printing my resume during the time that I'd normally be looking for things to tell you about here. Wish me luck. Thanks for reading (Hi, Mom!) and I'll check in again soon.
