August 15th, 2008 Grace’s Love List - 8/15

You asked for it, you got it. This week’s Love List!

• I’m sure most of you have probably seen this download-able Artist’s Survival Kit from the always inspirational Keri Smith, but I wasn’t aware of it until just recently. Thus, its spot on this week’s Love List. It’s five pages of creative fun, fully printable, and yours to do with as you wish. I appreciate this kit because I often find myself in a creative rut that I need to get out of. Having something like this around gets me going again. And if you need even more creative play, maybe try this out? Enjoy!
• The switch plates in my house are boring. Snore. Which is why these switch plate designs from A la Mode appeal to me. If I weren’t lazy, I may take on a decoupage project and cover my switch plates up. But I’m a lazy, lazy girl and think I might just order the “You Are Here” one today.
• My necklace love lives on with these Simply Stated necklaces by Laurel Denise. Simple, elegant, with written messages that are calming and truthful. Very chic, I think, to wear your words just above your heart.

• I love, love, love the promotional posters for Crazy for Cult, a movement that has artists re-interpreting cult films. I especially enjoy the promotional posters they’ve been putting out for the project. Click here and here to see what I’m talking about and help me figure out all the movies represented. Kinda like Where’s Waldo?, but way, way cooler.
• This game is being billed as the best online flash game ever. Is it really? I can’t say, but I guarantee that it’s pretty addictive. At first try, the game and it’s purpose makes absolutely no sense. And then you realize that that’s the point of it exactly. Play it if you dare. Don’t let the frustration get to you. After a while, play becomes pretty fun.
• It’s v. its. Whose v. who’s. Affect v. effect. If you ever had a hard time remembering when to you those and many more like them, hook yourself up with Grammar Girl and she’ll set you straight. Of the many podcasts I download, hers is one of my favorites. They’re short, sweet, and highly informative. Believe me when I say she’s saved me from embarrassment many, many times. And, hopefully, has made your experience reading this blog more enjoyable.

THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM
So I just found out recently (and I mean about an hour ago) that the past few week’s Love Lists have been coming late in the day. I actually have these posts pre-published so that when a certain time and day hit, the lists get published automatically.

Yeah. So that hasn’t been happening at all.

I’m hoping I’ve fixed the error this week. You’d think I’d know how to use a calendar and a clock, but since I exist on Grace-time you just never know.
