Getting back to our Roots...

Tom and I took a trip to the Natural History Museum on Saturday.





We had a grand time to say the least.

Some work from Work--Holiday 09

A lot of the work I produced when I first started at 77Kids is now in stores (well, online, my mistake). They seem sooo long ago and old!




riding under the stars tee here




dashing through the snow tee here




peace tee here

and these are some of my favorites done by other talented co-workers:




good for you tee by joe here



superstar hoodie by keith here




danger mountain tee by steve here



snow shoe crew by keith here which is merchandised horribly on the website by not showing the back which is the best part of the graphic.


77 hoodie by steve here (I really wish I could buy this for myself, but would probably be a belly hoodie on me)

These are my Everyday Heroes

Happy Veteran's Day Ed!

I hope you don't mind I stole these from your Facebook! :)

You pull off fatigues AND wearing an apron!




And Happy Veteran's Day to my Uncle Brian (Air Force...sorry my mistake earlier) and my late grandpa (Navy).




I'm so proud of all of them. xo

Getting back on the horse

Remember this?



And remember this?

19. Put up wall frame collage

I'm working on it. Pictures to come soon! :) sooo giddy to show...

I was going through old pictures from my cousin's wedding and fell in love with these pictures again. Something about Catholic churches, although very old-fashioned, is very comforting to me.




Plus this church, SS Peter & Paul, in Hamburg, NY is a church I grew up with. This is the church my grandparent's belonged to, that my grandpa was an usher at, and where I could always zone out and read the stories in the beautiful stained glass windows instead.
