"BeiJing Huan Ying Ni"

The summer Olympics in Beijing are almost here! ... I'm excited :) for all the sports, but mainly for the Track & Volleyball.

The Track & Field stadium is amazing. I can't even imagine how they built it! ... Here are some photos of Herzog & de Meuron’s National Stadium. (I got the photos from Dezeen ... but they were taken by architectural photographer, Iwan Baan)










I also really like the design for this Olympics Games ... the Fuwa in particular. They look so happy and friendly ... I probably would like a hug from all of them at once!



Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace -- and good wishes from China.

Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.

When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of Fuwa as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.







I went a lil link-crazy today ... forgive me, I told you I'm excited! haha

"holy jumpin f*ckin sh*t balls"

I want to create ads with swearwords in them! I think I'd be good at it :)

But, somebody out there is doin' it! Why can't I?

by special request...

photos of my love, Paisley! she is almost 17 months old by now ... about 100+ lbs (I'm guessing, haven't weighed her in a while) and still GROWING! she's a big baby and loves to cuddle ... she's getting jealous of Wallace sometimes when I have to pay attention to him (b/c he's a puppy) ... but overall she likes him and always tries to play with him! except he gets afraid sometimes b/c she's so much bigger than him!

just being lazy ... napping like always


rockin the old skool Kangol ... she's got dat flava


notice in this one how she was too lazy to climb all the way onto the bed! only the front 1/2 made it up there.


trying to play with Wallace ... he wasn't havin it

she's a dancin' machine...

I Believe in Advertising. creative ideas sell products ... this is absolutely true in my opinion. I often find myself buying things b/c the packaging is prettier ... and when the commercials made me laugh or make me think, I remember the product.

this site is dedicated to fabulous advertising! it posts some of the best creative advertising each day. the agencies that come up with this stuff are definitely raising the bar on creativity ... daaang I think I need to step my game up! haha


here are some of my favorite print ads posted on here:









also check out the oreo elevator and the iams windshield wiper!

this one's for KT ...

I came across this technology/gadgets blog and I think KT would love just about everything on here! haha there's crazy lamps, bookends, fans, ads, flash drives ... pretty much everything unique


this is the thing that caught my eye ... what a fantastic idea!



I need these stairs b/c that means more places for clothes and shoes!! :) hahaha ... actually, EVERY girl needs these stairs in her house ... yeah

puppy sighs

I got a new puppy on Friday ... kinda by accident! I'm really just supposed to take care of him until he gets healthier ... but I think I'll end up keeping him! He is the runt of a litter of 16 puppies, and just hasn't been able to get the food/attention he needs.

I named him Wallace :) ... he's a Great Dane and is only 8lbs at 8 weeks old!




I mean really ... could you give him back??


HERE is a lil story he reminded me of ... bc he loves to cuddle and be close (just like Paisley!)
