Hey y'all! I'm nominated for a Pop Shop America Award this year in the paper goods/cards/prints category. I'd super duper greatly appreciate your vote if you can spare a second. Winning this would mean a lot to me and my little business! Vote for Papyrusaurus, pretty please!
I don't know if I've ever written about this here, but I've been lifting heavy things since last February. I've really, really loved the transformation my body and mind have gone through by power lifting. I took about a month off in December (because it's my busy working-18-hours-day season), but I'm finally getting back up to my pre-holiday numbers...

Our day was pretty freaking amazing, despite a bunch of guests cancelling last minute, some family drama and a snafu with the bar.

And not only did we consume delicious chicken and waffles, cajun grilled shrimp, crab cakes and perfect cocktails at my favorite local bistro (Pineapple Eddie Southern Bistro, if you're interested) but we had tattoo adventures afterwards! The dude ended up making an appointment for a later date, but I got something I've been waiting...

Well, I suppose it's time once again for one of those update thingies I'm so awful at.
Sooooo, things have been busy. I've continued to bust my butt with my business Papyrusaurus, trying to kick my usually slow summer season's ass. And with the launch of a new venue in Pittsburgh, and starting to venture into refurbishing vintage things with my...

I just got a call from the gallery that hosted the paper arts show I made a piece for and apparently I won 2nd place, which equals a $200 prize. I seriously screamed at the top of my lungs after I hung up. I went to the opening last week, and...
