Happy Thursday ladies and gents!
You’re reading the debut of Grabby ‘n Stabby on my new blog and portfolio home! Woohoo!
This week has been all about the web. Email design as well as blog design, I have been living and breathing them! That’s not all I’ve been up to though, so let’s get to the G’nS!

• Cocktails and conversation with fabulously fashionable and entertaining friends is a great way to keep life exciting and interesting!
• Fawn Gehweiler, one of my favorite artists, has added some paintings to her pop up shop!! She’s killing me with cuteness!!
• I’m a sucker for beverage packaging design, and The Dieline posted their 50 favorite liquor packaging designs this week. Every designer needs a really great bottle of something on the home bar that all their other designer friends ask about! I’m partial to the Lovejoy Vodka designs.
• Per her Twitter, Dita Von Teese will be releasing a DVD of her performance at Crazy Horse in Paris. Trés sexy!
• Ten things to do after installing WordPress, is stuff we all need to do, if we haven’t. Thanks for the link, Josh!
• Dirty laundry…err, I mean songs about metaphorical dirty laundry. This song from Bitter:Sweet makes me happy whenever it comes on Pandora.
• Nigella Lawson on Top Chef. I think she might be my favorite female food personality! Umm…how cute is her site, BTW?!
• I think designers tend to be perfectionists. This article from 99% reminds us not to waste energy on things about the design process that we can’t control. Letting go can even be good!
• The experts on tough-girl-hotness at BLEACH BLACK have debuted their holiday jewelry collaboration with Urban Outfitters. You better believe some of that is going to find its way on to my person.
• Awesome opportunities to hang with college friends from near and far are seriously keeping me grounded these days! SO FUN!

• Weird, misty but not rainy, dank, damp cold weather. Cold is fine. Rain is fine. Some weird in between hybrid is just…bad for my mood, and my shoes.
• The latest Diamonds are Forever commercial, featuring a cute couple ice skating to an acoustic cover of Sonny and Cher’s “I got you babe”. When I saw this commercial, my first thought was, didn’t Sonny die after a skiing accident? The answer is yes he did, and I am kind of surprised that didn’t dissuade them from using it.
• Spending too much time in the car. I wish we had mass transit.
• Blog coding issues. I’m not a developer, and sometimes this stuff drives me batty! GAH!
So, that’s the G’nS for the week!!
I’m definitely looking forward to the weekend to catch up on sleep and work on my blog design more! I’m also planning to see some friends and see some art before things are said and done!

Nigella Lawson taught me to bake pork roast at 200 degrees for basically as long as you’d like (she said sometimes she goes 24 hrs. usually I do 12). I’ll forever be in her debt.
