Letterpress goodness...

{found this here, bride designed}

and an interesting article too! 

This article talks about the value of letterpress education is the design world and how most schools aren't offering it anymore. It's timely since I'm considering a move back to school to get a B.A. or a B.F.A. in Graphic Design and Printmaking at a local university. I'm very lucky because not one, but three local schools (University of Alabama, UAB (Birmingham) and Birmingham-Southern Collage) have very developed printing programs and UA (in Tuscaloosa) is one of the leading programs in Book Arts in the nation apparently. Enjoy!

Yes, please!

I'm in the process of deciding on whether or not to go back to school {I promise I'll share everything that's been going around here this week} and how great would this be for a laptop/book bag? Currently I use a ridiculous LV purse for a laptop bag and it kills my shoulder when it's heavy. For an extra $10, you can make the strap adjustable and wear it like a messenger bag. Yay! Moop makes a couple of more styles and I love them all. Check them out!

Where does the time go?

(from here)

Even though my daughter started school last Monday, this was her first day of carpool! We're sharing duties with two other families who are in our neighborhood (she attends a private school about 25 minutes from our house!), so I'll pick up three on some mornings and a couple of afternoons. The mom who just picked up has three plus the other two, so her car was QUITE full! My only child was very excited to see all those kids this morning. It's so weird that she's growing up and getting bigger. Here's to a great first year of 4k. We love you Lillie.
