I am currently working on a logo/header for a website that sells all sort sorts fun girly things. This is one of the roughs, I think it is okay to show it since the final won’t look exactly like this. The site is
CCCGifts and Diane sent some products to me to take a peak at and to help me in the design process. This type of project is right up my alley. If you check out her site, you will have to check out the
cute clogs that you can have monogrammed with your intials. (Imagine that, monogrammed clogs!)
On the other half of my life, I have been a bit hesitant to post about this but I think I will after all. It is tough to know what to post because my website and portfolio are my business card. I have vaguely mentioned that I have struggled with some health issues this summer. I began have these “episodes” back in March. Nausea, dizziness, chills, headaches, when they hit they came on fast and hard and last long. Since they were happening when I flew, we thought it may have been acute motion sickness. Then they started happening with no “motion”. Then they started happening frequently, then back to back. This is the real reason my sister came to visit, to help out with doctors appointments and to distract me from getting to despondent.
My Doctors have gotten on board and I have been tested for just about everything you can think of! I have been doing well lately and have gotten back to working and let me tell you I am SOOO grateful I am an artist with an office at home so I can work when ever it works for me, so so so grateful. Probably the biggest turning point for me the last couple weeks has been to get my head out of the fog and know that God has me in the palm of His hand.
A lot of people have been praying for me and I feel it. I ran across this in the subtext of Tom’s bible (hee-hee, the one that I gave him for Father’s Day) it said that “Happiness is temporary because it is based on external circumstances but JOY is lasting because it is based on God’s presence within us.” Wow! I have talked a lot about “joy” in the last year and I thought this quote really put it so well. The big part for me during all this is to actually lift my head, my spirits, and rely on the peace and presence of God within me.
