Directions for June?

I was doodling at Giant's Causeway and this is what became of it - the June wallpaper calendar! It's all about direction - or maybe misdirection - actually it looks a lot like the road signs here in Ireland - and I'm only kidding a little bit. Dr. Seuss seemed the right source for this month's quote - it is from my favorite book of his "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"

We can thank my sister for her loving reminder to get "her" June calendar done in time for June :)

May Flowers Brought by April Showers

The new calendar/desktop wallpaper for May is now available! I read a quote from a Hans Christian Anderson story a few months ago, and unknowingly created a graphic to fit. Made me happy :) I wanted to use this sweet quote somehow and I guess this is it...enjoy!

Bright Designer Spot in My Day!

Very cool hotel and the best reception desk I've seen in ages! I was very pleased to see such creativity in the design of the hotel where the Dublin church meets. Then I saw the reception desk and I knew why the hotel was so quirky cool! Words! Words! Words! Typography is such a beautiful thing - a true love of mine.

It is so hard to get a picture of it that can be read, but the hotel is prepared for that - they gave me a printout of the wall! They've received so many requests for it that they have a handy file ready just for people like me :)

Appreciation. That's what I felt. Appreciation for creativity.

Not that I wouldn't think it could be improved on….tee hee hee :)
