Thinkdig’s Weblog

I’m Katie, a graphic designer who mostly somersaults through life. My blog is all about things that inspire me – be it art, design, or other snippets i find along the way.

sick kitty

leoinwindow

leo-on-tony

this is leo. he’s our cat. and i’m convinced he’s bulemic.  he has these spells where he binge eats, then pukes it all up. gross, i know. at first i thought it was lack of attention, but lately-we have not been neglecting him in the least, yet still he gets sick. so now i’m thinking that he either over-excites himself or his old age might be setting in with stomach issues. in any case, i’m tired of cleaning up cat barf. let’s hope we find a remedy soon.

oh baby!

i wanted to share the baby shower invites i designed for bethany, who’s expecting a baby girl soon! aren’t the owls a WHOOOT? (i know, i know-corny. but i couldn’t resist.)

canoe-ready!

gladiators

i’ve been wanting a pair of gladiator sandals all summer long. i haven’t splurged on any YET, but i just might have to on this cute pair from dolce vita. what do you guys think – is it worth the $55?

those summer nights

of course, this automatically makes me think of Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.  i can’t believe I still don’t own this movie!

the weekend started off with a visit from my sister & getting a little crazy.

friends joseph & joey were back from california! we met up with the whole crew downtown to see the Beati Paoli show at the Vaudeville Mews. it was just like old times! man I miss these 2 sooooooo much.

Remember this? somehow, in the 5 days they were here, J & J managed to throw the most PERFECT outdoor dinner party. don’t you love the outdoor lanterns and lights?!?

Let’s recap:
outdoors + good music + sweet drinks + summer heat + pool splashing + awesome food + goofy family + many laughs + fabulous friends = one AMAZING summer weekend.
