Minted Business Card Challenge

My friend, Cassie, introduced me to minted.com when I was designing her wedding invitations, they had very sweet, airy letter-pressed invitations. I looked over the site at least once a month after that just see what was new. Some how I missed the contests, until now! They have one about once a month, this month was to design a stay in touch business card. 

Here's mine, it was fun to work on something outside of my day-to-day and I'm really looking forward to next months challenge. If you'd like to look at the other entries and vote click here.

2011 Calendar

For the past two years the creative team at work have put together a calendar as a gift for the account team. I'm always impressed with what we all come up with. To check it out click here.

It's been a while...

Wow! I kind of fell down on this job. It's been a busy 5 months since I posted last. I had a birthday, we bought a new car, Hayden started the fourth grade, Allen and I had our 10th anniversary, Hayden played soccer, and Allen had a birthday. In October we drove to San Antonio for a long weekend, it was a LONG drive. We went to see the Alamo, the Riverwalk and Sea World. I loved, loved, loved the Riverwalk! It was kind of a grown up thing to do with a kiddo and Hayden wasn't as impressed as we were, she was a good sport though. We walked through the Alamo, Riverwalk and the Mexican market all in one day, by the time we made it back to the hotel we were pooped. Here are a few of my favorite photos that I took with my phone.

112th Tontitown Grape Festival

Allen has worked at the Tontitown Grape Festival every year since we've been married. Hayden and I finally decided to go see what it was all about. Whew! It was H_O_T_! They serve fried chicken and spaghetti dinners that must be incredible because people stand in line for hours to buy tickets to dinner and then stand in another line for more hours for the food. The line is too much for me! We listen to some music and then Hayden rode some rides and I took some pictures.

Glasses!

Hayden had to get glasses this week. She was SO excited about them she tried to take the pair from the doctors office without the right lens in them. I went and picked them up yesterday, so far so good. She looks super cute in them.

Giant Moustachio

I love him!

Grilled Cheese and Goat Weed

This Saturday night Cynthia and I went to Fayetteville for a girls night out. We went to Hammontree's to eat dinner, a restaurant that specializes in grilled cheese! How brilliant is that? I have had the Where the Wild Things Are and it was awesome, but Saturday I tried the Caprese Melt, also good but not AS good as the other. After that we went to Kingfish, a new bar off Dickson St., probably my new favorite. We stopped at a gas station on our way out of Fayetteville to use the restroom and I snapped this picture with my phone.

Yeah, I don't know what it is but we sure got a laugh out of it!
