Hello, lovely readers! Just a heads up, the time has come for Bows & Sparrows and Blogger to get divorced. Yup, that's right, B&S is moving onto to bigger and brighter things...namely its own URL: www.bowsandsparrows.com. Hope you'll join me over there! xoxo

Bloggin' Ladies Series

{screen grab from Femmena Mala}

Stephanie, over at Femmena Mala, was kind enough to include me in her Bloggin' Ladies series, a weekly column featuring Q&As with inspirational female bloggers. *Totally blushing that she thought of me* At any rate, you can check out my interview here.

Pick A Card, Any Card

Several months ago I signed up for a letterpress class with Jordan Ferney, a San Francisco-based events planner, letterpress printer and blogger. During the class we were slated to print our own business cards - yay! Unfortunately, the class got cancelled - boo!

Well, the classes are being offered again and I just enrolled - yay! That said, I need your help picking out a design for my business cards. I've already created (and blogged about) a couple of designs, but I have new readers and I want to hear what everyone thinks. If you have a second, let me know which design you like best and why. Thanks, guys!

15 Minutes of Fame

When SN&R writer Rachel Leibrock approached me for the rag's 15 Minutes column, I was super flattered and, truth be told, more than a tad nervous. I mean, at one time I was an SN&R staffer. During my five years with the publication (I left in 2008), I worked in the front office, editorial and finally in the design department. I was used to being the one asking the questions, not the one answering them. So, armed with a little liquid courage, I took Leibrock's call and did my best to answer her questions in an somewhat intelligent manner. Well, the time has come, the paper hit the stands today. Onliners and out-of-towners can check out this digital copy of my 15 minutes of fame. Oh, and a special thanks to Leibrock for thinking me worthy of being featured in the column!

Art Happens :: Bows & Sparrows Business Cards

Ok, readers. I really needs your help. I've worked out a few potential designs for some business cards I'm making. I've asked all my friends and they seem to be pretty evenly spread out among these three designs. I'd love to hear what my readers think. So, if you're feeling inspired, leave me a comment with the letter of the design you like and maybe a few words about why. Thanks, guys!

Oh, here's a link to the PDF version - so you can see them better.
