June 6th, 2008 Grace’s Love List - 6/6

• I always enjoy visiting Google’s homepage when holidays or days of interest come around. And the Doodle 4 Google exhibit imagines the Google logo redesigned by kids. Interesting.
• Are you a camera nut? I am. And these lens bracelets from re:vision are especially sweet. Too pricey for me, but I can dream.
• What color personality are you? If you’re curious, play the Voice of Color game to discover what color personality you are. Me? I’m water beads and pop art.

• What is it with me and piles of paper? Little pieces of paper continue to fascinate me. And here’s a nice collection from Three Potato Four. I should start putting together my own piles of paper to send. Would anyone really want a piece of paper that used to be an old receipt? Hmmm…
• Yes! Make Magazine (sister mag to Craft Magazine) has come out with their much anticipated Maker’s Notebook. I finished with a degree in Genetics in college, so you can bet that I interned as a lab rat during my last years. And I remember filling out lab research books to list out my experiments and their results. The Maker’s Notebook reminds me of that. This notebook is perfect for designers.
• I am in love with Duffy. Downloaded Rockferry from iTunes and I’ve had it playing almost nonstop. She reminds me of a more mellow Amy Winehouse, with an age-old sound but more poppy. The album is great for rainy days, but also for sunny days - it’s that diverse. Golden. Sweet. Lovely.

SOAP OPERAS ARE FASCINATING
I’ve never really watched soap operas. They always seemed kinda silly to me. But since I’ve been home sick these last two days, I’ve done nothing but watch them. Oh, my. I don’t want to be addicted, but I think it’s too late.

So my family and I are celebrating my grandfather’s 95th birthday on Saturday. Woah. And it’s a baby celebration for my friend Lizz on Sunday. And in between I’ll be creating and taking photos and blog designing. Joy.

Have a great weekend!
