Bring it on, November
Today is the 13th, which means November is almost over. I’ve got 2 more long Saturday runs before tapering starts before my marathon (tapering is running lesser distances to give my muscles a chance to recover before The Big Day.) Tomorrow I run 15 miles, next Saturday 20 miles (gulp!), then 12 miles the following…

‘You’re every line, you’re every word …’
As if designing a wedding album isn’t enough fun, I got to design one for one of my closest childhood friends not too long ago. Jenny and Gary got married in May 2008 and I got to be a huge part of it by creating their graphics – wedding programs, favor books, and their wedding…

Sit-ups, 8es dancing, writing novels and ad design
A hodgepodge of thoughts today: ———— I’ll share a couple of sites I came across this week (mostly through social networking!): D&AD Creative Search: I saw this one mentioned by several people on Twitter this week. Go ahead, type something in. I typed “flowers” and then I typed “Melissa Oyler” … it’s fun! One hundred…

No idle hands at this house
This weekend, in pictures and thoughts: The run: I didn’t take pictures of everything, of course. I didn’t photograph me waking up at 4:30 a.m. just to get my run in because I knew I had a busy day ahead. I was home before the sun came up, so it would have been a picture…

Where I was
Last year, I was in New York City and I heard the names being read, first on the TV in my hotel room. Later I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, and they were still reading. So many names. It was so quiet in that corner of the city, that section where the towers…

Had the opportunity to update the ad for Melissa Oyler Designs for the September edition of Natural Awakenings Magazine (which I also do layout/design for). Check it out – what do you think?

Great photos, fun design, sweet baby
Ingredients for the perfect birth announcements: An adorable baby, modern, hip parents, and a great photographer. Check out the announcements I designed for my new nephew – the blanket he is sleeping on is his dad’s baby blanket – how cute is that?

Update on my novel (no, I haven’t forgotten about it)
I say I haven’t forgotten about my book that I have written, but I have regrettably put it on the back burner this year – but it’s not to stay there for long! My intent was to go through an edit on screen, and add scenes as needed, and then make a proof copy and…

I may suck at writing poetry lately …
But my friends at poetry assignment are rockin it! Please remember to check out their work and give them some comment love. In the meantime and to try to get back into the spirit of things, I have been designing a poetry book of my work, hoping that looking at it will bring back my…
