{Gratitude} Mar. 18, 2013.

I am Grateful.

A super fun Chicago St. Paddy's Day celebration (they always are!) and a hangover-free Sunday (hooray!) filled with artistic projects (follow along on my Instagram), cooking an Irish meal and rewatching Game of Thrones season 2.

A couple of extras today:

(1) After a gentle push from a friend, I finally purchased aspotofwhimsy.com (yay!) and aspotofwhimsy.blogspot.com now redirects there. This should not affect anyone who reads my blog in Google Reader (rip) or has subscribed to my blog via email, though you can certainly update to aspotofwhimsy.com! If you have any issues viewing the blog after this change, let me know and I'll address it right away. Unfortunately Disqus didn't handle the redirect well, so I'm still working on figuring out where my old comments went!

(2) I also finally created an a spot of whimsy Facebook page and Tumblr. As I get better at understanding the best way to use each of these pieces of social media, I'll try really hard not to post the same exact things to all!

Pictures of the Week.

{started watercolor practice as part of my fashion illustration class - it's fun but HARD}

Pinterest got a new look and lots of analytics to analyze: {av} of Long Distance Loving guides us through.
Like Camille Styles, I would also like to entertain with Holli and Moses Thompson.
Loved learning more about Molly Jacques - I'm such a big fan of her calligraphy - on The Everygirl.
