Bits of Happy

After a much needed mini-vaycay to Somerset, Wisconsin for the weekend with 5 of the best people you could ask for I feel a bit out of touch with reality! I'll post about the weekend later but wanted to put some things down that were causes of happiness upon my arrival home.

#1 Jon Contino
Stumbled across his works and I am floored. Immediately I started working on some new lettering styles, it felt good to pick up a pen and sketch. Working on a phrase that is from bit number 2 here.
#2 The Temper Trap
I watched a time-lapse/stop motion vid that JW suggested and then watched the behind the scenes footage and loved the music used so I further investigated and found that it is The Temper Trap. I had a song of theirs from the [500] Days of Summer soundtrack and downloaded the entire album tonight and it is beautiful, especially this tune.

The line "soldier on, keep your heart close to the ground" is going to be made into something and put on canvas in my room because I love it, frankly I love the entire song.

#3 My Co-Workers
I went into the store tonight to help make sure my newest hire was comfortable closing and was shocked to see some serious amazingness. The girls went above and beyond what I asked them to do while I was out and I feel better about leaving the store now.

So much goodness going on, gotta be thankful for it all!
