I don’t have any recent work to share. So much of my time has been dedicated to creating contracts, finalizing web content, meeting with future clients that I haven’t been designing. It could also have to do with the fact that I took three whole days off, left my computer at our apartment, and travelled to Indiana to spend time with family over the Thanksgiving holiday. It felt great. But I’m back and I thought I’d share some links:

I’m on Google Wave (add me: allielehman@googlewave.com) and I found 10 gadgets to make Google Wave more productive.

I want to serve these at a dinner party.

I’m itching for a vacation. Next stop: here.

This is amazing. Creative people in their creative spaces.

Found this site in my bookmarks…I need to use my Holga camera again. Anyone know if a good place to get film/prints in Columbus?

Wouldn’t mind doing a little shopping here.

That’s all I have for you this fine Monday. The image above is the streets of Gaylord, Michigan last winter. SNOW!

I’m ready to make cookies, decorate our first tree together, buy gifts, and listen to Christmas music. [photo from Christmas last year.]

Just realized there were some pieces that aren’t on my blog or my personal site. I’ve had two external hard drives crash which is why I switched to DropBox but I still like documenting my work on my blog just in case something crazy happens and my DropBox gets deleted too. So this is for me…but enjoy :)

It’s been a good year.

I didn’t take a lot of pictures from my weekend but I needed and loved it. I’m excited to be spending another long weekend with my new family. It made me re-evaluate a lot of things and I’m excited about the future. I have a lot of projects that I’m working on but I can’t share them yet! Stay tuned.

I hope this Monday is a start to a very short week for all of you! I had a wonderful weekend in Illinois and it was so refreshing to be with my family and close friends. But now I must work until another fun extended weekend. Enjoy these links and remember to be THANKFUL!

The painting featured above is one of Steve Kim’s. I love it.

A way in which children and adults can be creative together.

Does AOL’s new logo make anyone else cringe?

Let it snow.

I just bought this vintage Christmas tree topper. I wanted something with personality and this screams awesome.

I’ve been excited for this shop opening and now it’s here!

Some items that have made it onto my Christmas list this year are: these adorable banners, this bag, this necklace, and a trip to the beach.

Enjoy your Mondays and make it fun!

I’m on a retreat of sorts. Off to see my family after being away from my hometown since my wedding! Enjoy your weekend, readers and create a retreat for yourself! I’ll be back Monday.

Wrapped up on the Infinity Salon Brochure yesterday. Looks great and I’m glad the salon values consistent branding!

Thank you to all who voted for the book! It was one of three books that won the GRAND PRIZE! It was so fun designing this piece for TOTSPUPS Fine Art Photography. Her photography is outstanding and she really helped push the design direction throughout the process. (photo via here).
