Well hello there! I’m a couple days late and a few hundred dollars short–and for no good reason I might add. I was not buried under a mound of edits; I did not happen upon a last-minute excursion; I did not even pen the Great American Novel. No sir, I did not. Fun and frivolity, that’s what it was–I took a couple extra days to frolic. And, other than a speeding ticket, it was grand times had by all.
Although, I must admit, I didn’t ignore you on purpose. As a matter of fact, I felt as though I kept in touch … only to realized late last night that I had written nary a post; I’d only worked on a new blog banner.
When I decided to give my blog a bit of a makeover, you see, I thought it would be grand to highlight a graphic artist each season. A FABULOUS idea, right?! … a copywriter, highlighting a graphic artist … creative genius! So, I found a new artist… I even had an idea of how I would pull it all together. She said she would give it a try; then, at the last minute, wrote and said she didn’t have time. *sigh* So, back to square one. Thankfully, my brother offered to help…before he truly understood what he was getting into. Poor, poor fellow.
Our conversations have gone something like this:
Josh: So, do you have any direction for me?
Me: No, not really … just something summery.
Josh: Something summery?
Me: Yes sir.
Josh: How ’bout this? Or this?
Me: Too busy. Too modern.
Josh: This.
Me:Bleck! 60’s! No thank you!!!
Josh: Dare I ask?
Me: I don’t really love it, no.
Josh: What about this one?
Me: Too orange. I like orange, but not too much orange. Here I’ll show you some examples of things I like…
Josh: That last one is totally modern–I thought you said you didn’t like modern.
Me: But it has character. I’m all about modern with character.
Despite the fact that we live an ocean apart–and we were emailing–I could still see the look. Needless to say, I’m sure he would appreciate your prayers…
Ha! I just got that exact look from my brother!
We did miss you! I am glad you have been having fun. Would you believe we have been waiting by the computer to see your next post?
You have a very sweet and VERY long-suffering brother. I am laughing over here. A lot. I get that same look from my husband. I must say, I earn it.
Hey, Relyn … you’re suppose to be writing something along the lines of, “Oh, you aren’t that bad … your brother is SO lucky to have you!”… work with me here! 🙂
You too are adorable! 🙂 I can't wait to see what your brother creates for you! … I love the look of your blog with the watercolor background! You always paint a beautiful picture with your words and it fits perfectly!
