On my bucket list. Hopefully I can check it off in 2012. Anyone been there with tips/suggestions on the best way to "see Yosemite?"

There plenty more where this came from, but you need to visit Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Just ten minutes from Historic Charleston. >> Hatchell's Amercian Tapas Tavern on Yelp.

I will do this one day. Maybe not all at once, but it will happen. This video is Brian Defree's roadtrip from coast to coast. And back. Check out his photos, too: http://briandefrees.com/featured/usa-drivelapsetimelapse-project/

I struggled this Christmas with the age-old delima of "what do I get mom?" Every time I asked, I got "I have everything I need. Don't get me anything." Well, mother... that's not how Christmas works!

To break from the monotony of buying something fresh from the store - I decided to make something. What mother doesn't enjoy get an art project from her son for Christmas? Who cares if said son is twenty-four years old... deep down inside I'm the creative type. I like drawing, painting, designing... I like going nuts on a blank canvas every now and then.

I got this idea after seeing my super creative friend Jennifer's Crayon Monogram project. Then I saw @carlynmarae's photo on instagram. With a little coaching from both Jennifer @btflwhatshedoes on twitter and @carlynmarae on instagram, this is what transpired:

Jennifer saw the final product and asked me to share. So, without further ado, check out my guest tutorial post on Jennifer's blog: Beautiful What She Does. Thanks Jen!
