Work Sucks!

work-sucks.jpg

Hello people in cyberland! It’s been a LONG LONG week and I think this is the longest stretch of non blogging from me. I literally worked 80 hours this week and I’m not sure I could feel any worse right now. Everything hurts and I’m so tired I feel it in my teeth. Not to mention that I have to go to work tomorrow on Sunday. I think about it and I get so MAD. I’m trying to hang in there and stay positive but that feeling really left mid week, especially after the 17 hour day I had on Wednesday. It’s not like I’m a doctor doing shift work making people feel better…I’m a graphic DESIGNER!

Anyways, in trying to keep a positive attitude here’s some word art for you. I’m trying to embrace this sentiment and plus it was a good distraction =)

So that’s where I am if you don’t see me much online. If anyone wants to hire me for a full time design job let me know…I need a new job! =)

Hope you have a wonderful week!

This was a good break from doing work tonight and it showcases some wonderful products from Mikkel Paige Designs. I’m one of her Guest Creative Members for March and I just barely squeezed this in time for March but glad I did =)

Have a great Monday!

Wedding Month Goodies

This March 15-April 15 is Wedding Month at Pink Ink. I’ve added some new stuff to the store…better late then never. LOL! A few wedding thank you cards (Mr & Mrs font color is editable), an aged scalloped circle frame (with drop shadow), wedding words brush (w/ .PNG file) and a 10 x 10 album back paper pack (12 papers in this).

So much to do and no time to do it in. I’m so tired and feeling the burn today, so I think I need to chill. I’ll try to blog soon and hopefully my creativity will be back too

Is it possible to work really hard and long and feel like you’ve accomplished nothing? Well if so, that’s how I’m feeling and I think my right hand is going to curl up and walk off. Oooouch!

Weekend Update

I saw this illustration and thought it was perfect, since I ended up buying many bottles of shampoo and conditioner on EBAY! My beloved discontinued Lavendar Vanilla Shampoo and Conditioner are all over ebay. So I’m scooping them up slowly. LOL!

Anyways, besides that all I do is work! I’m working this weekend for myself and for my real job. Blows!!! I’m so tired. Alas, one day I’ll rest. Maybe in like July? Blah!

On a side note, I registered for a beginners stamping class at the local stamp shop near work. I’m excited about it. I’m feeling very crafty lately although I haven’t done much besides put together a necklace. I’ll share next time. So the class is to go over what papers and inks to use for stamping. I’m hoping to learn some things and get over my fear of stamps. They intimidate me for some reason. LOL!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend - have some fun for me =P
