i want her idea.


there are SO many things that are good about getting paid to design stuff for a living. perhaps the BEST thing is the company i get to keep. over the years, i have worked with and met many wonderfully talented people in the ad biz. there are all kinds of personalities in this field, but if i were to generalize, i would say that the phrase "ego driven" describes quite a few of us. for many years, i sadly fell into this category.

but not everybody is that way. for a long time, this girl has been my "hero" designer. she has more talent and sheer love for design than almost everybody i ever met. and she is so humble and sweet i cannot stand it! she's also branching out now, so that everybody can get some of her beautiful "wares." she just designed her own line of WONDERFUL little jewelry charms! they are made from old silverware, and they are just the sweetest things! she told me today she has one saved for me that has a "B" engraved on it! oh, i am happy.

go see her stuff so that she can be your friend, too!

Wow! Do you think she went through the 'crafty gene' line more than once??

yes. she double-dipped. apparently, this talent is passed on from her dad, who is an Ace hardware man.

i am jealous ;)

Ok, you guys are being far too kind. Really! Actually the designer I always aspire to be, is Bobbi. Anytime anyone around the office said Bobbi designed that, you know its amazing! :)
