a little bit of retro love

Super cute retro typewriter that I bought my mom off of Craigslist for her birthday!  I thought that it was SO awesome...my mom sees it, and goes, "Elysa...this may be retro for you, but I grew up with these."  Ah well.

And here's a close-up of the card that I made for her as well. Total sucker for a good pun.

things to do: make a list

• sew an adorable laptop sleeve for my new macbook, totally digging this one i found on Etsy
• transfer all the fonts from my old computer to this one
• download even more fonts
• because, seriously, who can ever have enough fonts?
• run
• finish the two canvases I started on vacation. in the next year, ideally.
• learn more about photoshop
• dye my hair. bought the dye today. hooray for progress.
• read and bookmark more sites like this
• because--ohmigod--of gems like this
• vow to be more organized this quarter
• again.
• read more. the new shopaholic book totally counts.
• (fine.)
• write handwritten letters
• become the next Amy Atlas
• wake up early and  go to garage sales
• so that i can score incredible finds like this
• research grad schools where i can get my master's in Building Your Own Incredibly Successful Indie Craft Business From Scratch with an emphasis in Event Planning Like It's Nobody's Business.
• stop making lists and start doing.
• but first post pretty (and not in the least bit styled) picture of crafting table while on vacation
