Notes to self.

I  have a few little reminders hanging around my apartment right now. I've been wanting to make more, but I think that will be a summer project for my new apartment! I'm still incredibly excited that everything worked out. You have no idea how much lighter I feel right now. I still giddy!

I think my reminders would be something along the lines of these:
  • Rise & Shine (by my bed)
  • Check Your Ego (This is currently on our bathroom door.)
  • Second Star to the Right (above my animation table)
  • Make Up Your Mind (by my mirror)
  • Smell the Roses (by my window)
  • Make Something (in my studio)
  • Eat More Greens (somewhere kitcheny maybe)
  • Play That Funky Music (by my record player)
What sorts of reminders would you make for yourself?

Ps. In a surprising turn of events, I will be heading home to Detroit tomorrow for a job interview! Let's hope it goes well. If not, at least I get to see Miss Mia. She already told me that she wants to make an animation and play Alice in Wonderland. I was thinking it might be fun for us to make some necklaces out of Sculpey. Oh, and I have a paper to crank out this weekend as well.

  5. So I know it's September, and maybe a little weird I'm commenting on this now, hah but I love these! I found your blog when Twila first mentioned you and I've always remembered this post. I'm in the midst of decorating my dorm and was thinking of putting a few of these up, what are they made out of? Thanks!

  6. Sara,
    I always check my comments! I actually didn't make these, though. If you click the photos, it will take you to the direct source. My guess is that these are just colorful paper or cardstock. Maybe craft foam. I made some of mine out of various patterned paper, and even photos from magazines. I'd love to see what you make!
