Go Find Lisa!!

Yes you read me right, there's another way to find me!!

I've created another blog which is basically an extension for urbanLove.

It can be found on WordPress as I wanted to see what the fuss is all about. I have several friends and colleagues who post on WP and love it.
And I like Blogger ALOT, but am always up to check out new things.

So!!
You can find me here: http://urbanloveinvites.wordpress.com/

This being said, I can't confirm how often I will be on Blogger, but I'll probably check in from time to time!

Happy reading! :D

Pics with Captions Part #2

Yep, same old story as before: super duper pooper busy!
I've finalized a couple wedding orders, taken some time out to be the "cool, hip Mom" for my daughter's school trip, went on a hike, took some pics (pft, obv....like I even had to say, lol) and have also continued on strengthening my wedding designs so I can launch that new site of mine and soon!!
Dang.
I know!!

Plus there's a slew of birthdays a-comin' so I've been out and about gathering trinkets as gifts and have found some GREAT finds...including an old wooden school desk (the kind with the lift top) for, get this, Three Freakin Seventy Five! And there's a decimal in between the Three and the Seventy Five! $3.75! No lie, yo. I'll post pics later as I may just do a whole entry on that alone :D

Anyways, a few pics for you...enjoy!

















My sister collaborates with the yearly Fashion n' Motion show held at Wilfred Laurier University. They rocked it as per usual!!

















The cast finishing up a number :)

























You ever see that Reitman's commercial where that "catwalky" type song plays? It makes you wanna strut when you hear it? No, don't remember? I do. And this is the song I think of when I see this picture.

















The boyz in the 'hood get ready to give us a show down, a throw down, hell no they ain't gonna slow down.

















Took my Zoe to an art fair at the local downtown library. The Handmade Festival has a closing show on May 6th. I will be there, will you?

















Ireland's baby shower!!! Her parents, (seen above here) Tyler and Sarah are also HUGE Pumpkins fans so I made them....

THIS!



















A custom-made baby tshirt with the caption Smashing Pumpkins Friggin Rule and (shown above) What Do You Mean "Who is Billy Corgan? Seriously?" LMAO...

























This is Rebekah. She's been one of my BFF's for like, a long long time. And in that long long time, she's never really bought her own house. Until now. And now, she's fixing it up. Like, tearing down walls, ceilings, mudding and painting and...from time to time, peppered her days with a little swearing. Because sometimes, an artist needs to.

















Went on a road trip. Found a cool sign. Sharing it with you.



















Same road trip, different sign. Still sharing.



















The tornado of energy that is my son. Love Love.

















My gorgeous childhood friend Cat. I call her Kitty Cat, and this day, the Kitty was in the City. We met up at the Galleria and took a nice stroll through...















...my favourite park :)













This is my Pretty Deb, another childhood friend. I'm designing her custom-made wedding invitations and yes, not to sound pretentious but I f'kn rocked them. They will be printed and mailed out soon, so watch for yours!! :)

















This is wall gum, downtown London. Oh how I love Richmond Row, lol. You find the coolest shit.

















Took Zoey on a hike. Showed her nature at sunset and how beautiful life really is. Then we looked down and to the left a little. Never guess what we found: a nudie mad with torn pages strewn across the forest floor. Talk about a "nature" walk, lol.

I took pics of such hilarious debris, however I'm unsure of the restrictions of Blogger so I didn't post the picture I took...however I guess I could have just pixelated her lady bits out. Another post for another time I suppose, lol.




















This is a local centuries-old train station that is being restructured. You can't see it but there were two (hot) workers up on a boom near the corner. Thanks to the wonders of Clone Stamp, I was able to remove them. One day, I may have Content Aware, but until then...

























Dammit, I'm blocked in again! (perimeter shot). I see Timmy in the window, hi Timmy!

























Simultaneously eerie and beautiful.

























Yeah the office is down at the very end of the hall.

















Click click goes the shutter on my camera :D
