Huge thanks to my friend Alora for taking these pics!





Cookie Loves Milk!!





I want this on my wall.







I got to meet Mimi! She had these adorable equestrian boots on (not shown, sadly)





They had all these AMAZING PIZZAS. There was S'mores, Lasagna, BBQ chicken, macaroni and cheese, veggie, pretty much everything to feed your pizza soul.











This is probably the best picture of the whole bunch. I dare you to feel sad looking at this.





Charlie Festa! He's so nice







Hey that kinda looks like Charlie Festa OH NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING




aaahhhh









This cake. Oh my god this cake.





It should be noted that my awesome Mom made me this dress out of a Mens 2XL It's Toile About You shirt! She even hand-crocheted the little flower in the front. Thank you, Mom! (I'm going to torture her with all the threadless dress ideas I now have.)


Anyway, it was a really fun trip and I got to meet a lot of great people and visit a few friends I have in Chicago.
Big thanks to everyone that came up and said Hi to me! It was lovely meeting you all!
Thank you so much Threadless for having me!! :)]]> Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:46:56 -0500

Oh man it is 4 AM! I shouldn't have had s'mores for dinner. So hyped on sugar. Ok goodnight!]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:03:43 -0600
When the spring comes back, and the sun starts to shine undeniably bright, it's like a spiritual experience for me! The flowers come back, the birds come back and I come out of my metaphorical burrow. I feel like I see clearer, hear clearer and everything smells great like old leaves mingled with fresh green grass!

It's so good!

This year is especially good! I'm pushing myself to do new things, and to not be so afraid of what people think of me and just reach for what I want.
This is very hard for me, a person who lived most of her life fear-driven, but slowly I am finding my footing and even making a name for myself.

Winning this contest is such a blast. It is really amazing to see what can be done when people believe in you and like what you do! It's not often that I take chances like this, let alone see it pay off.

I am very much a new kid here on this website (oh my gosh what a welcoming committee!), but I am settling in and sticking around! It's a great website. It is full of good people and killer design. My two favorite things!


Thank you, kind readers and cheering-onners and friendly-nodders and say-helloers!
I'm gonna see you all in Chicago at the annual meetup I think! I am so excited for that aaahh!


Check my livejournal for my initial reaction to all of this (also check out all those amazing GIFS! I LOVE GIFS!)

Nice little interview I had with Coty Gonzales, a shirt reviewer! If you leave a comment there, you'll have the chance to win $25 of threadless store cred! Check it out :)]]> Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:26:06 -0600 When I first put it on, I thought to myself, how could I thank Threadless? Who is to blame for my boost in self esteem and where could I aim a shout of gratitude? I thought a little blog post would be a good way of getting it out there without specifically bothering anyone with an email

So! To everyone who voted for me, bought my shirt, or even just dropped me a positive comment: Thank you! Thank you the most.

Thank you to the cool staff at Threadless for making my shirt turn out amazing, and being such an accessible company to both customers and most importantly, artists.
Artists have a sucky time in any industry they set foot in, so when we come across a company like this that goes out of it's way to make an artist feel compensated, credited, and heard, It's a real treasure.
When I saw my whole name screen printed on my own shirt, when I realized that there were all these people around the world wearing my shirt with my name on it, I thought, man, this is a rare opportunity to feel amazing.

I've had nothing but a positive experience with this website, and I hope to continue to do so!

Thank you
