Graduated at Last!

So here it is, folks! My diploma for my bachelors degree in Social Science and History from Ashford University (cum laude). Not only was I the first of my family to graduate from high school, but I am the first to graduate from college. This is an amazing achievement that was over 20 years in the making. Next stop: Graduate degree from National University. October 1st is my start date for my MFA program in Creative Writing. I'm so excited about this. Who knows what comes next...paging Dr. Lee...?

A Little Desktop Peek-a-Boo

A friend gave me this lovely paper pen for my birthday. I put him in my soapstone seal pen holder on my desk. He looks like he's playing peek-a-boo with me--and what could be more productive and fun at work than playing peek-a-boo?

IT'S BLUEBERRY MONTH

Someone at my office made a glorious rainbow cake in honor of Blueberry Month. The cream cheese frosting was amazing;)

STM Love

I LOVE my STM bag for my new 3rd generation iPad! This bag is compact, sturdy and keeps my iPad safe from harm in padded splendor. This sage color is amazing. So bored with black and brown cases that cater to the corporate crowd. This bag is made by a great little Australian company that knows what the heck they are doing when it comes to portable machine storage. They have all different sizes to fit any laptop or tablet.

Dip Pen Set Extraordinaire!

Not at all practical, but when you feel like writing like it's 1869 this lovely glass dip pen will make you feel oh so Nathanial Hawthorne. Use heavy stock cards and stationery and dip often for best results.

Chachkas

Recently got some boudoir bling from One Kings Lane (www.onekingslane.com). After my first order they sent me a lovely embossed thank you card. It was one of the most pleasant buying experiences ever...other than the three-month wait to get my stuff.
