Mid-September Monthly Goal Meetup

A SNEAK PEAK AT NIBBY'S MOST RECENT CUSTOM WEDDING SUITE. MORE TO COME!

In an effort to keep me motivated, and feel more a part of a community I'm participating with the blog Modish Biz, and their monthly goal meetup. That is, each month I will be posting my new goals, reviewing my past goals and talking about the biz. Not that I don't regularly talk about the biz, but this will be in a more organized fashion. And we share our blogs with each other! Hooray!

Anyhoo, here are my monthly goals for the rest of SEPTEMBER:

≥ Get fictitious business name
≥ Complete printing of Isa card Run #1
≥ Refine logo design
≥ Refine blog design
≥ Shutdown computer everynight (and close all of my Firefox tabs)
≥ Blog at least 3 times a week

I can do it!

The Greatest Love of All.

I may have the greatest purchase of all time on my hands:

A 22-Volume set of the Life Magazine Science Library!!! For SIX DOLLARS! And it was published in 1963!

First of all, how well does this go decor-wise with my Mad Men Mixers, where I pretend to be working at Sterling Cooper and attempt to match them drink for drink? And how Nibby is this? At least, this is what I want Nibby to be—the essence of these books.

I mean, really!

August Schmaugust

It appears that I fell off the face of the earth during the month of August. Either that, or I went to Hawaii. I'll ignore the fact that I was only in Oahu for five days and blame all of my unchecked "To Do" items (such as this blog) on my solo tanning contest. But really, it had a lot to do with my newfound obsession with Mad Men and a hectic work schedule.

Alas, I am here again, and ready to face mid-September.


Why do you have to be so good?

The Print Queue.

I may have mentioned that I started printing the isa collection, although I realize I haven't given any visual reference to the line. I'm only halfway done with just the notecards, and I was hoping to have them completed before I posted any imagery. However! I recently updated the look of the Nibby blog here to include a little snippet of what's to come. I'm not sure why I'm always so cryptic—perhaps it's because Nibby is in a constant holding pattern, and there's always something (and simutaneously nothing) to tell. The organic illustrations in the background image are indeed drawings from isa, and I'm truly excited about how the line is looking. Slowly, but surely!

I've printed just one color, and each print is slightly different. Once I slap on the second color(s) and trim, and score, and complete my handmade envelopes, and decide on packaging, they'll be ready to sell! Not a lot of work at all!

The other project in line to print are my highly-popular coasters, by which I mean, my brother and my friends think they're cool. But really, they are. The project started as a mere Christmas gift (which these things often do), and were too good to not include in the line. Sadly, they must be reprinted as the old logo mentions The Office, and I doubt that would fly. Luckily, NBC doesn't own the phrase, "Beer Me."
