MYkind: our art wall.

Our dining room is one of my favorite rooms we’ve renovated (the before and after is insane!), but it still needed… something. There are a lot more somethings it needs (a Swedish trunk to house party games, for one!), but this past weekend, Ken and I tackled a big to-do off the list: our monochromatic

MYkind: alt summit recap…

… plus, how to survive your next conference, wherever that may be. Alt Summit felt very different for me this year, possibly because it’s grown leaps and bounds since I first attended (with my sweet roomies Vic and Jaime) in 2010.

MYkind: late night surprises.

After arriving home from SLC (more on Alt Summit later!) at 1am last night, we came home to a 48 degree house and discovered our furnace had flown the coop while we were out of town. Instead of stressing out after a long flight, we set up camp with a bajillion blankets, pillows and sheets

I’ll be taking a week or so off for the holidays to visit friends/family near and far and indulge in some festive fun (we’re even including a fun bowling tradition into the mix!). Until I return, enjoy those sugarplum-enhanced dreams as the holidays mark the end of yet another lovely year. Happy holidays, friends! I

MYkind: 15 friends.

Last month, Twig Creative asked me to participate in a fun art game where a set of bloggers/artists pass around a canvas throughout their respective cities to craft a mixed media canvas of awesome. This weekend, I received the canvas from Naomi and it was my turn to play! I added a stack of cute

MYkind: thanksgiving traditions.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday (I’m quite certain the bulk of carbs play a role in this decision), and in an effort to remember this day, I wanted to write down my very, very favorite Thanksgiving traditions. Join me in reminiscing?:
