Where did i go?!?

okay, so it's only been 2 days since i've posted but it feels like a WHOLE LOT longer. our internet went out on Labor Day due to these tropical storms and it's still not fixed:( my husband and i have been doing our best to keep ourselves occupied but truth be told, we love our internet and have come to the conclusion that we are FULLY ADDICTED to it.
i did finish a custom case (pictured above) for a wedding present. i like the simple font.

i also recieved my ORANGE ROBOT BANK from TrashBirdMakes and i am head over heels in LOVE with him. look how much personality he brings to my bookshelf! also, if you haven't yet entered my Giveaway from TrashBird you should REALLY get on it. click HERE

lastly, i finished up this custom order wallet for my friend Jocelyn (i call her Ace) who is the owner of FLOWERLEAF on etsy. she has been searching high and low for the perfect wallet. she finally found one and had it shipped directly to me for some sprucing up. i think the wallet itself is adorable and i hope Ace loves it to bits and pieces.
okay, my back hurts from working in starbucks all day so i'm signing out and hoping that our internet is up and running soon or else we may self-destruct!!!!

transatlanticism

as promised to my friend Jill over at LUNE, here are the photos of the custom order bag with the pegasus on it!!! it took about an hour to draw but i am pleased with the results. i hope the buyer is hap, hap, HAPPY:) today i received a belated birthday gift from my father and step-mom.
i NEVER thought i would be getting a pair of these, even though they have been on my wishlist for quite some time, and i was giddy as could be when i opened them up........

they are "studio beats by dr. dre" and they are PHENOMENAL! the sound quality is soooo lovely it's as though there is NOTHING but me and the music. i love being wrapped up in these guys. i found myself stuck listening to transatlanticism by Death Cab over and over over and over. it's such a moving song with a beautiful build up and it's long. i just can't get enough. tonight i plan on listening to Jeremy Enigk albms. i'm sure i will be brought to tears. there is no voice i find more soothing.
i'm feeling tired from this busy week. i had a TERRIFIC amount of sales, 3 photoshoots (i will be editing for days) AND launched my very 1st GIVEAWAY (if you haven't entered yet you can do so here...)!
looking forward to the weeks ahead:)
