Yeah, we've been a bit busy....

I know, I know.  It's been 3 months!  Things have been crazy around these parts and all good stuff I must say.  Projects have been keeping us on our toes and have been rolling in at a fast and steady pace which is amazing.  
BUT, most importantly and definitely way more exciting is that......




I'm having a wee one in May! 
Jake and I are thrilled to be expecting our first baby next Spring and it has been glorious to enjoy this time with family and friends and share our excitement and happiness with them.  And so I wanted to also share it with you.   I will probably post little tidbits about baby Salz-Smith here and there like the fact that we find out tomorrow if it is a boy or girl!!!  And perhaps other baby things that I just can't keep to myself.  


So now that I have my energy back and have found a good pace, I made a promise to myself to post more regularly and share what's going on design-wise with maybe a little baby thrown in too.


I hope everyone is doing well!  I have truly missed participating in blog land and visiting with my fiends here.  Talk soon, I promise!! P.S. how funny is this photo?  A bit ornery but I like it.  : )

the weekend at last


The weekend.  Finally!  This has been a crazy week.  So crazy in fact, that I didn't get to go estate sale-ing and thrifting with my Friday finds friend Bianca.  Bummer right?  I did get lots accomplished but it looks like I will be working right through the weekend which also happens to be my and Jake's b-days.  So, I'm hoping we get a little R & R at some point and some fun packages like the ones above.  :) Speaking of packages, I just sent out a lot to a dear friend for a super fun blog event coming up.  I love creating little treasures with a simple, homemade with love feel.  And I can't wait to find out how the recipients react to them.  I will be sure to share details and pics later....  

Happy weekend and I hope you tear it up!  Or enjoy it quietly too.

holla!



I don't know about y'all but I am super stoked that the weekend is here!  This has been a good albeit busy week.  I turned in my final grades and can relax for a week before I begin teaching this next semester. Lord give me strength.
I had a blast happy hour-ing it up with both new and old friends this week and am looking forward to another round to come!  
I wrapped up two projects this week and am focusing on new ones in the works...please keep 'em coming!
For the weekend, in between yoga, BBQ, and art show, we are going to cram in some relaxation somewhere before Monday, maybe even get a little beach time while Summer is still kickin' around....
I hope your weekend is fantastic and I'll see you Monday!  We have a super fun "meet and greet" planned.  You don't want to miss!


P.S.  How cute is this sign?  And if you're not a gangster like me, ahem, it comes in other sentiments too..

Here is a little update on what I have been working on lately.....



I recently teamed up with Alluminare in a new column called "World Class Designers" where I get the incredible opportunity to meet and interview the talented surface pattern designers that contribute all the patterns and colorways for the various products on the site.  Be sure to check back here and there to keep up with all the goings on!
