The Most Beautiful Invitations

Matt and Jordyn's wedding invitations are in the mail and they are SO beautiful. The vintage postage stamps look amazing. Lovely attention to detail. And that handwriting on the envelopes sure looks familiar...Enjoy!

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Creativity awaits

I am so excited! Above is a photo of my new work bench!

A Day at the Office

Oh my goodness this really cracks me up. How goofy.

5 Minutes + 5 Web cams = 1MM views.

A new amazingly creative video from Ok Go. Pretty impressive.

Apparently the band and its hired geniuses spent three months building the two-story tall madness machine in a vacant Los Angeles warehouse.

Kulash wrote: “My band is famous for music videos. We direct them ourselves or with the help of friends, we shoot them on shoestring budgets and, like our songs, albums and concerts, we see them as creative works and not as our record company’s marketing tool.”

And of course, an oldie but a goodie, I just love this video. So creative.

Distant Dreamer

Although you think I cope,
my head is filled with hope...
of some place other than here.

Although you think I smile,
inside all the while...
I'm wondering about my destiny.

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life.

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope, from today.

Even when you see me frown,
my heart won't let me down,
because I know there's better things to come.

Today what are you dreaming about?
