happy friday:

new card design :)
Hello there! It is finally Friday - I have been down in San Diego this entire week and am just so excited to get back to my husband! (it is still weird for me to say that - how long did it take you to get used to saying 'husband?') It is just too hard to be away from my Nicholas for so long.

The week at UCSD wasn't bad... okay, a little disheartening as I got lots of my products stolen! Mainly rings. Some pocket watch necklaces. I don't know what it was about this week and theft but at least I got to meet lots of blog readers + friends..

I ordered some new business cards, which I'm excited about. What do you think? I really like the back a lot more than the front. It's always fun to get a new business cards printed. So these will be lovely to hand out for my upcoming holiday shows. Hopefully next I can get going on a blog re-design. (note: tags + tape strips used in my design are from pugly pixel)

Oh, I almost forgot to announce the winner for the amazing Olive Manna giveaway! Winners were chosen with random.org. Here are the lucky winners:

  3. That stinks! I am sorry your stuff got stolen.

    Yes, it's nice to say husband, isn't it. I love it so much that I never even call Brian by his name when i am talking to him, it's always "husbo", "babycakes", "darling", or "lovey". I just can't get enough!

  4. I'm so sorry that you got a lot of stuff stolen this week! That makes me really upset that people could be so BLAH! Anyway, I used to go to UCI and always went to your vendor booth!! I absolutely loved all of your stuff and have gotten some of the best compliments on things I've bought from you.

    You're so cute about calling Nick your "husband!" I'm so excited to feel the same way--to go home to your husband, wake up with your husband, and know you're spending the weekend with your husband! How precious!

  6. Hey Danni!

    Love, love, love the business card design. May I ask who you are using to print your b-cards?

    It took me a LONG time to get used to calling my Jon, my husband, but it also made me so excited every time I said it because...well, I guess because it's just a really fun stage in life to be in. Yay to Newlyweds!

  10. As someone who lives in SD I am so ashamed. But you really should report it because that is a public school funded by Calif taxpayer dollars and that kind of s#!@ shouldn't be happening.

    ON a happier note, I have been married 25 years in April of 2011 and I still get little giggles in my tummy when I use the word husband or see my cutie husband across the room. Hope you have just as many happy years.

  11. Haha. I call my husband "husband" only jokingly most of the time. He calls me "his wife" when I am upset with him and he is trying to make it up to me! So fare married life is awesome! Hope yours is as well!:)

  12. It was much weirder for me to get used to "fiance." Sometimes it can sound so pretentious. We call each other "husband" and "wife" all the time. When answering the phone, out in public--we don't care. We're so happy to be able to say that! :)

  23. i'm sorry to hear that some of your merchandise was stolen -- that sucks!! it's really sad to hear people steal and i seriously never thought it would ever happen at a craft show of all places.

    in any case, it's nice to hear that you're reunited with your honey! and, your business cards are beautiful, Danni. I LOVE them. :)

  24. Where do you do your business cards - they are amazing, as always.

    I went to UCSD and am pretty disappointed in that place. It's very surprising for me to hear you say that, but with everything going on there it's not a huge shocker.

  25. this post is like a roller coaster of emotion for me! first- huge bummer about the thievery! boo!! i am always shocked when people are bold enough to steal from artists and craftspeople, it's crazy obnoxious.

    but i am thrilled to hear that i am one of the winners of the giveaway! i never win anything! i'll go send you my email addy :)
