5ive minute logo

I read an article about this designer guy I read about who creates a 5ive minute logo for you for 5 bucks. Sounds kind of awesome right?

Anyway- I decided to give it a go, just for fun.  I sent him my etsy shop name and paypal of 5$.  I was a little worried it wasn't legit but for 5 bucks I took the risk. HA. It's LEGIT. It took about a week and, as promised, this is what he sent back.  A very quick and predictable logo. But I kind of love it. Charming and funny, got what I paid for.

It's a great excercise and a brilliant idea.  I'm sure he is not getting $$$rich$$$ off of all these 5 minutes designs but I imagine he is having a blast. You can see many of his other logos here.

Dead tired!

This one fell asleep standing up today (2 hours before nap time). That's what waking up at 5 am will get ya! Sleep later Nicholas.

So cute!

Neon!

The boys had some friends over. See a theme? Neon is officially back. #nodoubt

Catching up with 2012

I meant to post a few of these photos and thoughts before the end of 2012.  Here's a few little missing bits from our December.

1. I finally mastered the perfect caramel.  I purchased a candy thermometer, and boy did it help.  These puppies were not too soft nor too hard.  I made 5 batches of caramels this winter.

2. Santa... Nicholas saw Santa three times.  Here he is at Chris' work.

3. Christmas day. YEAH.We took no photos. How can that be? Here are basically the only two.
