Encyclopedia of Amber B.

I started a blog, and now I never blog. I think if it was called something other than a 'blog,' I would be more interested.

Plus, blogging presents a lot of pressure. How do I know if something is interesting, and why would anyone want to read? And as a graphic designer, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I think my header isn't quite right, and it needs work, and etc., etc., and I just don't post.

But- I saw the idea for the 'Encyclopedia of Me' over at Girl Photography, and I think I can do that. My name even starts with A- how easy is that? So, I will try to post at least one time a week, a new letter every post. I may or may not go in order- it's my blog.


Amber K. - That was my name for a long, long time- from Kindergarten til 7th grade, when we moved and I was the only Amber in the class!

A.M. Cassandre - It was posters like this that inspired me to do what I do today! I love love love the clean colors and strong, simple layouts, and these posters also remind me that I was born in the wrong decade. Like, wrong by about 70 years. I am only 28 years old, but by some of my habits, one might think I was an elderly person, what with the sewing and cooking from scratch and such. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Auto Pay- Who can really keep track of these things? I think I could have retired by now if I didn't have to pay overdrafts after the 'ease and simplicity of Auto Pay' has taken over the checking account.

Almonds - I always think I should be eating more almonds. They're really good for you!!

And that's it for the first installment of the Encyclopedia of Amber B. I may be back with a second installment of the Letter A, but we'll just see how this goes.
