Welcome to my new blog address! After much deliberation, I’ve finally decided to make the move to host my own site. It is far from being finished, but I realized that if I waited until it was “just right” I’d never make the switch. So, expect it to be under construction for a while. Probably forever. 
As I’m sure all my regular readers noticed, my life and my blog posts have taken a decidedly maternal bent. Being a new mother has propelled me into all kinds of baby issues, from diapering to toys to parenting, and I’m coping with the general elation and struggles that come with that territory. Then there is the other me, the graphic designer, crafty gal, gentle soul, who likes to try new recipes, take photos, explore, make things and just be me. Juggling part-time work (even from home) and a baby is no small feat, but I’d like to try and carve out more time for my own personal projects and pursuits. We’ll see how it all pans out. I hope you will join me in finding out.
P.S. To help make the transition, I’ll be having several fun giveaways during the month of March. The first one starts today for the set of 3 notebooks shown above. Printed on recycled paper, the set includes a date book, an address book and a handy notebook, all measuring 4×6″. Designed by Defteling and beautifully printed by Brown Printing. Just leave a comment below for a chance to win. Two lucky recipients will be chosen at random in a weeks time (sorry, this particular giveaway is only for North America, but I will have world-wide giveaways later).
Love,
Emily

Hooray for you! I have to decide if I’m doing that before I have to pay Typepad again in May. I’ve updated my reader.
They’re such pretty notebooks. I would love to win.
I loved your wordpress site, and I followed it over the past few months. I was very impress with the material you covered, and the awesome projects you did, and where kind enough to share with us.
I’m glad to know you’ve branched out and now have your own website. Good luck, with everything.
