Off and Running...

Well people, here are my final project perspectives! The retail space/gallery is called "Reveal" as it is a place for UNC-G students to reveal their talents to the community. I still need to do some touch up's and well there is still tons more to do for my final project, but this was the most time consuming and hardest part. I have come a long way! Enjoy!

Tired of the Turkey

Well folks, I wish I had more time because being busy has kept these turkey lurkey's on my blog for too long. I am a person who likes change, I love to re-decorate, re-do, and just make it pretty! My blog is a place for me to show my personality, vent, and just doodle. I am not wishing away my life but PALEASE Christmas break hurry up so I can [re-doodle] my blog. These turkey's are boring me to death... my patience is hanging by a turkey leg! For now, its back to work on this FINAL studio final!! Wish me luck, because at this rate I need it... ;)

Coffee Break

No surprise here, but life is getting a bit crazy right now with my fall semester wrapping up, internship interviews, and the holidays. So, with that being said the image I found on Photobucket speaks greatly to my mind set. While this started off to be a "venting" post, I would like to credit my new found favorite kitchen gadget. I am a proud owner and the biggest fan of a Keurig! You do not have to be in love with coffee [although I happen to be] you can make hot tea, hot chocolate, and coffee. There is something for everyone when it comes to this fabulous kitchen appliance. I own the mini which is perfect for just me, and yes I travel with it thats how obsessed I am. So, sip on this post for minute, while I get back to work. Cheers!

Revealing [The Hatchery] what I have thus far...

Gobble Gobble

Hello All...  I feel like a lost soul amongst the bloggers. I have been so busy that my blog has not gotten the attention it deserves, or should I say that I want it to have.  With Halloween now behind us, I have jumped head first into "holiday season" mode. My itunes playlist of choice is "CHRISTMAS!!!" and, I am loving it. Many people think it’s too early for the cheerful songs and holiday spirit, but it is merely something to look forward to. I will not overlook thanksgiving though, I am counting down the days until I am allowed to feast on yummy food and drinks and relax with my wonderful family. The Hoffman's are a lively bunch, and every time we get together it’s sure to be loads of fun. We have been e-mailing each other in preparation for the big day, and boy these e-mails give you a belly laugh. My contribution to the e-mail chain was a quote I found on thanksgiving.

"May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

                     Stay off your thighs!"

So in honor of Thanksgiving and all the things to be thankful for, let the turkey trot begin!
