we're 1 + a gift for you!
Today marks one year for Me and Jilly. Certainly cause for celebration!
The idea was born as I lay on bed rest last August after intense knee surgery. Just a way to force documentation of all things good and bad in my design world. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that nothing I do is complete without my best girl Jilly. I called her up and told her we were starting a blog together, and that was it.
I won't say that every moment has been the most! fun! ever! But I will say that I've learned a LOT about computers, following directions, and patience. Each time I stayed up until 2am mastering things like how to download actions in Photoshop, or how to make a button code (and it actually worked), I took a victory lap around the family room.
I have loved spending time with Jilly, looking back at past projects, sharpening my photography skills, and documenting many moments that I wouldn't have otherwise.
Jilly and I will be celebrating our anniversary next month in New York (oh, now it sounds like we're married). Of course we'll document the whole thing and maybe even bring you a shot glass from the Statue of Liberty. But in honor of today, please enjoy a party favor from the pair of us.
For our followers and subscribers, we've turned a few of our favorite quotes into 8 x 10 printable works of art, and we'll be giving them away for one month (through Sept 18th).
You like? All you have to do is leave a comment with your email address, and we'll send all four prints your way. If you're not currently a follower or subscriber, simply sign up on our right sidebar and leave a delightful comment. We'll rush the prints to you as fast as our little fingers can push send.
*Hint- we like these printed best on {bazzill} white card stock, but any heavy paper will do. Frame it, mod podge it, give it away, keep it, the sky's the limit.
After you've posted a comment, you may want to stop over and check out the projects we've recently added to our {tutorials} page.
