It's been ages since I wrote a post.... I'm sorry I've been away from the site, but I have been working night and day on the new <a href="http://ameliapresents.com/">Amelia online store</a> and brand new website.<br />
<br />
I also have a new <a href="http://ameliapresents.com/news/">NEWS</a> section there that will give the site a blog like section... aka, this site will be fading out. It's been fun but I have less time to keep it consistent.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, check out two new posts on <a href="http://ameliapresents.com/">ameliapresents.com</a>.<br />
<br />
See you over there!!<br />

Moving from city to city, the project moved with me. Starting in Boston on January 1st of 1999, then to Seattle, San Francisco, Memphis, New York City, Water Valley, Los Angeles, and back to Water Valley, ending December 31st 2009. Ten full years. The photos aren't perfect. The writing is messy. I wanted it to feel natural and more like a snap shot. I think I captured that. It's friends, writers, musicians, new pets, family, actors, activists and the parties in between. </span><br />

It's been a summer since I wrote a post. I had a really busy summer, so I'm glad I took a break, but also glad to be back. Thanks for sticking with me. With that, I have crazy big news.<br />
<br />
So awhile back, I entered a contest on <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/startsmallgobig/index.html">Daily Candy</a> called the <i>Start Small, Go Big </i>contest.<br />
I entered it with Amelia in mind. I have all these designs in my mind that I'd like to create myself, so<br />
that was the focus of my entry, to add my own brand into the store.<br />
Well fast forward a few weeks/months (I can't really judge time anymore because it flies by so fast)<br />
and I get a call last week from the sweet folks at Daily Candy telling me that I am one of the 12 finalist overall and only one of three in the home section. You have to understand my shock. I haven't won anything since the 2nd grade when I won an Atari, in a raffle. Although, in 1983, that was better than gold. I'm not complaining. Well, I was at work at the time, so I threw the "Be Back in 5 Minutes" sign on the door and spent the next 4 1/2 minutes jumping up and down with excitement.<br />
<br />
Here's where I need your help. To win now, it all comes down to votes. From now until September 16th, you can vote for me once a day, <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/startsmallgobig/index.html">here</a>. Please vote as much as you can and if you wouldn't mind asking your friends to vote as well, I would very, very much appreciate it.<br />
<br />
If you tweet it, please <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/search/dailycandy">@dailycandy</a> and throw in the #ssgb.<br />

I have started on a few different projects and the <a href="http://ameliapresents.com/">store</a> has been busy. All great news, but it hasn't allowed me much time to blog. I went back and forth with feeling really bad about that, but I've come to realize, it's ok. My whole adult life, I've always had a lot going on. Different projects that keep me going in different directions. Always pretty busy. I tell myself that I want to slow down. So I do. But when I do, I can't stop thinking of all the things I want to be doing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I just need to embrace it. That's who I am. I will always have a new project that I'm working on. Most of my ideas, I'll see all the way to the end. Others will fizzle out because I don't have the same drive to see it through that I thought I might in the beginning. They don't have the same jazz that others might. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">With that said.... I am hammering about a plan for myself to blog on a regular basis. I'm using the summer to figure out a plan. One that makes me want to get up and write. Take more pictures for the blog. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I also want to change the layout. It might mean that I will be moving the blog to another place, but in the meantime, I'll stay here. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I hope that whatever direction I take it in, that you will go there with me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Thank you. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">PS.... I have lots of great news that I will be able to share with you in the next few weeks. Ideas that are taking shape and such that I can start talking about soon.... </span>Afterschool Oxfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11200782033369559088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395420960446070466.post-63478661075616483842011-06-01T06:37:00.000-07:002011-06-01T06:37:24.594-07:00Weekly Pick...

I <b>love</b> stationery. I love buying cards but sometimes I hate to part with them, so I'll buy one to keep and one to send. When I was a kid, going to summer camp, one of my favorite parts of being away from home was writing letters and getting mail in return. As I grew older, I enjoyed sending postcards to friends from my travels from all over the world. When my grandmother was still alive, we always had a great letter writing relationship when I wasn't living near her. Sure we had our weekly phone call, but we also mailed a lot of letters to one another.<br />
I recently joined a pen pal club as well. Letter writing continues for me. I also just enjoy sending cards to friends when they've gotten good news. Or bad news. Either way, who doesn't love getting mail? Real mail.<br />
I went into the <a href="http://www.nationalstationeryshow.com/">National Stationery Show</a> with all of these feelings in mind. What would I love to send? What would I love to receive? I also love school supplies. Mechanical pencils, tape, folders, ect... I ordered a bit of that as well. With that, here are some lines that I picked up to carry in <a href="http://ameliapresents.com/">Amelia</a>.<br />
I hope you will be as excited as I am.... I'd love to hear what you think.<br />
