Here's the business card design I did for the McKenna Salon! I love it. (I just covered the address for privacy sake). We took over the salon today, and wow!! I'm bushed. Ryan too. We worked all day and there is still a lot of cleaning and arranging to do tomorrow. It was SO cool to see the sign go up. I'll have to take a photo yet. It's going to be a great adventure!!
Speaking of adventure, Janel is taking on a new adventure with her sister. It's called Yellow Barn Art. I had the privilege of designing the blog header for her. Check it out!
I just had to share this... Helen Dardik has created a book about embroidery!! It looks fabulous, and I'd love to order a copy.
Now for a little giveaway! This is one of my most favorite hair products right now, and I use it allll the time. So I want the chance to share it with you! Leave a comment, and I'll draw for a winner sometime this weekend, most likely Saturday. :) You'd loooove to have some Dust It.
xoxo, holly
