i'm alive!

I was gone, and now I'm back! I hate vague-blogging as much as the next girl, but I'm going to pull the Not All Aspects of Life Need to Be Recounted on the Internet Card and leave it at that.

I did, however, want to take a minute to a) Thank everyone for the sweet emails, tweets, and notes of concern (including checking up to make sure I wasn't dead in a bathtub somewhere) and b) Promise that if I haven't already gotten back to you, I will soon. But feel free to send me an email with the subject line, "Where are your manners?" if you haven't heard back by tomorrow.

A few housekeeping things...

+ I've updated my "About" page basically just to add the photo above which was taken by Claudia Carter. She's my jam. If you're getting married or just love getting your picture taken in gorgeous fields, call her.
+ I'm limited in the amount of design work that I can take on for March, so if you've been thinking about making a change for your blog or shop, speak up! If I can't help you out I can definitely recommend another Fairy Blogmother who can!
+ Speaking of changes, if there's something in your life that's making you unhappy, do something about it now. Not tomorrow, not next week, not after you lose 10lbs or get that new job. Ask your friends, family, hell...ask a stranger for help if you need to, but take whatever steps you need to make a positive change ASAP. This kind of has nothing to do with anything, but I've realized lately just how much of a disservice I was doing to myself by putting off the "little" problems until the "big" ones were fixed.

I guess that last one wasn't really "housekeeping". ;)

It feels good to be back! I'll swamp you with some bad ass links tomorrow! That is, if the Man Flu that I was previously teasing Ryan about – and then naturally caught from him because, karma – doesn't kill me.

Happy Thursday!
