I decided to pick up a paint brush for the first time in 6 months. I was contacted by someone to create a three-canvas piece and….I had fun! It’s a bit blurry. The photo was taken on my iPhone!

The home page was approved by Jewel. I’ll be working on the interior pages after the holidays!

Everything’s a bit foggy. I’m going to take a break and rest. I hope you all had a great day!

The other day I realized how much I missed being surrounded be people that I admire. It has taken a long time for me to digest what my college experience really meant and how it affected me. During those four years, I was blessed to work, create, and spend time with some of the most talented people I think I’ll ever meet. There are many more but I decided to feature these 7 artists today. Now let me introduce you…

I haven’t been posting as regularly. I’ve been trying to be more intentional with my time. I’ve been trying to get more sleep. I’ve been trying to create freelance work that I’m really excited about.

I’ll have a lot more work to post after the holidays. I’m currently designing wedding invitations for three couples, a website for Jewel Hazelton, a collaborative project with TOTSPUPS.com + many other artists, and finishing up a few more details for past projects.

The picture above is my puppy (Desh) trying to eat my dinner. For more pictures, go here. My husband  has recently started taking more pictures. He’s fab.

(image from here. Kristin Wiig is one of my favs. She’s seen here wearing Emily Elizabeth’s Saltine Necklace.)

I design print materials for Emily Elizabeth Jewelry. Obviously since I get to look at all her wonderful pieces while I’m designing, it shouldn’t surprise me when they get featured or worn by stellar and famous people.

Seriously if you’re looking for a Christmas present- check out her online store. Also check out some of her recent press. It’s impressive.

I have 17 Google Wave invitiations. Won’t you join me? Send me your email address to allielehman@gmail.com if you’re interested. And no- I still don’t know how Waving will directly impact my life but it’s fun to try it out!
