On Saturday, I headed to New York City for a quick visit. I took the bus, so I decided to get some work done during the long ride. Can you guess what I was working on?* It’s not a very good picture, but it’s the best I could do with a crummy cell phone camera, a bumpy ride, and low light!
*Pssst. You’ll find out soon. Very soon! And guesses can be made in the comments. ♥
Getting mail – real live snail mail – is so much fun! Don’t you agree? If you want to make somebody smile, send them a note just to say Hi, I’m thinking of you. These kind of notes are fun to write. You can pick any card or social stationery at all: pretty, silly, playful, meaningful, ridiculous, sentimental – you name it. Hello notes can be brief. You might want to include something like an anecdote or newspaper clipping (eg, I saw this hilarious story in the metro and thought of you. Miss you!) Just have fun with it! Honestly, you could sit down and write 5 little notes in 15 minutes. Here’s a starter list of people who would love to get a quick letter from you: a parent, a grandparent, a best friend, an old roommate, or a cousin. Let’s send more cards! P.S. If you send fun mail, you’re more likely to receive fun mail. no comments We’re 12 days into the new year already, and you may have noticed my absence here on the blog. This year, I’ll be spending fewer hours on blog features so that I can dedicate more time to new designs + products and my custom clients. It was a hard decision, but one that had to be made. I will still post updates and I’ll continue with the Lost in Thoughts and Behind the Design series, but they’ll no longer be weekly features. Rather, I’ll post when I have the time and when I discover something that I just must share! I hope you’ll still come visit every now and again! You can still keep in touch. We post mini updates on the facebook page, and occasionally you’ll find us tweeting. More often, we’re pinning (it’s so much fun). Also, roughly once a month we send out email newsletters, so you can join our mailing list if you’d like updates delivered to your inbox.
Wishing you so much happiness in 2012!

Hi April, I say bring on the changes and you are a smart business woman who is prioritizing! I think a lot of people fear not updating the blog 5x per week at least, but I think that advice is starting to lose weight. Not that I’m an expert! I’m proud of you and will stay in touch however often you post on the blog. Happy New Year! Jess 
Hi Jess,
Wow. This takes dedication. {Hero from Miguel Endara on Vimeo} I think it’s really interesting to watch people work. Miguel Endara logged 210 hours just stippling! I don’t think I have that sort of patience. Do you? -April Lost In Thoughts is a weekly series. I started this feature because I’m inspired by the amazing things I see on blogs and Etsy, and by family, friends, readers’ comments, and life. I don’t want to keep all of these wonderful finds to myself, so I gather them together on Thursdays to share with you. no comments
Happy Holidays! The first video is fun, the second is sort of amazing. Both are just right for the holidays. Whatever you celebrate, I wish you the very best. I hope the year’s end is sweet for you and your loved ones. What’s your favorite holiday song? I like Baby It’s Cold Outside. -April Lost In Thoughts is a weekly series.

My favorite would be either Silent Night OR Drummer Boy. |
