Monthly Archives: August 2010 I guess it’s that time of year again. Back to a regimented schedule and cooler air. (Personally, my favorite time of year.) I usually try and get a little creative to make the back-to-school routine fun for my girls in hopes that it’ll bring a little smile to their face in the middle of the...  Today’s post is in honor of my daughter heading off to college this weekend. I surely remember when she was three, and all of a sudden she’s leaving tomorrow to start a life of her own. Oh the world that awaits… Here’s wishing you a wonderful weekend with your kiddos.  A winter wonderland birthday in the middle of August?…you better believe it. Here at Silverbox we have the Christmas music playing as we design your 2010 holiday cards. So when the request came in for an ice skating party at summer’s end, you know we were up for the challenge. These invitations were sent out...  Kinds words from one of my very favorite people on the plant. Thank you Melanie Mauer.  Oh, how I love Mondays. My favorite day of the week. Just add some rain, and it’s perfection. It’s my day of reflection and serenity, and my day to breathe. If you’re ever looking to chat on a Monday and there is no response until Tuesday, now you know why. I’m enjoying my sweet calm...  Ah, the power of thumbnail sketches. A dying art if you ask me. This is how we start most jobs, and find a creative energy in pulling our thoughts out on paper.

The shower was complete with yummy goodies from neighbors and a custom baby banner.  My camera lens was graced by this beauty recently. Oh, the elegance and poise all wrapped into one teenager was beyond me. It was a true honor to be capturing this strikingly exquisite young lady. A special thanks to this gal and her mother for helping embrace the art of photography one beautiful afternoon.  Today’s post is dedicated to my grandmother that always shows me the beauty in everything. She was just by for a visit and I found out she just got her ears pierced for the first time. She’s 79.  We just had to design a proposal for an outside job for ourselves and thought I’d grab some quick shots before sending. We design identity for so many of our wonderful clients, but we do it for ourselves once in a while too :) This was packaged in a nice archival box with a paper...  Just back from a vacation with the family in NYC. From American Girl to Anthropologie, MOMA to Dylan’s Bar, and an early morning run through Central Park with my husband, it was a terrific family vacation. So nice to be inspired by this beauty. From one city girl to another, wishing you and your family...  The remaking of a Johannes Vermeer Masterpiece at Silverbox. Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Picasso |
