August 29, 2008

Happy Labor Day Weekend, everyone! It seems I may have spoken too soon. The weather forecast promises 90-degree heat, so we’ve got plans for another swim or two, along with some homemade ice cream and messy art making. Good summery fun.

  • I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>


  • I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
    I look on the bright side.
    I take photos. Lots of photos.
    I wish on stars and on websites.


  • I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
    I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
    I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
