The Weekly End (and a Shameless Plug: Please Vote for Us!)

April 11, 2014

The flurry of real life these past few weeks has required the space and energy I’d otherwise employ blogging and sharing. It’s been a bit silent around here, I know. I’m hoping it won’t last much longer.

This week I’ve been working on new products, working with our designers on the new Serious Creatures website, and making decisions about our upcoming international move. It’s fun and exciting and completely overwhelming.

Also, our little art biz is in the running to receive a free app development! Would you take a quick second and vote for us (Serious Creatures)?

We’d love to have an imagination-inspiring drawing app developed where users could draw on top of outlined drawing-starters. Think scenes from nature or outer space with lots of room to imagine the details. Or the feet of a monster. (What does he look like? What is he doing?)

We’re currently developing these drawing starters for printables and books, but wouldn’t it be cool to have them available on the go with naught but a stylus? And of course an app like this could help support our work abroad, so that’s pretty great, too.

In other news…

  • Tartine – one of my favorite bakeries and the most gorgeous cookbook I’ve encountered – is only $3.99 right now for Kindle.
  • Dave Ramsey’s well-reviewed Complete Money Makeover (the handbook for Financial Peace University) is free from Noisetrade this week. If you choose to donate, proceeds go to Younglife. Sweet, right?
  • And I found out our friends from Nashville (the show, that is) have been gigging at the Grand Old Opry on occasion, including playing some songs they haven’t recorded yet. I swoon for good harmonies. {video}

This weekend we’re out of town visiting friends. I even got to shower in a REAL shower today.

What are you up to this weekend?

Hi! I'm amber. And these are conversations on life, humanity, and other curiosities borne of my wandering mind and everyday life.
