Overhaul

I did a bit of an overhaul today. Not only did I change this blog, but I also changed the cover photo, profile photo on facebook, changed everything on my Storenvy Storefront and my main website. I am really happy with the way my new logo came out. I worked on it for about 2 hours. I am obsessed with owls and yellows. This owl is completely made from scratch, piece by piece and it's girly, so I love that too. I was also sure to add in the herringbone pattern, it's also one of my favs!

You can visit my website and my store front via the links below.

Organization Logo Design

I have a friend who asked me to do a logo design for her for her organization. Her organization is called "Special Deliveries For Autism" and it focuses on lending out "Baby Think it Over" (electronic dolls) for families of children with special needs. The program is for parents who are pregnant or want to add to the family but are worried how the child with special needs will react.

It's in the beginning stages and for now is local(out of North Dakota), but she hopes that she will be able grow and benefit families with special needs children all over the country someday. To learn more about her organization and how you may be able to help, visit her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SpecialDeliveriesForAutism/

2015 Relay For Life Shirt Design

A lot of people know that for the last 6 years, a bunch of our family and friends have been participating in the Scioto County Relay For Life. Our team, Venturers For A Cure was started in 2010. We were at first called Mission Scouters because most of our team consisted of Scouts since my Uncle is a troop leader and because a few people from our church(Sacred Mission Church) were also members. We ended up using the name Venturers For A Cure our second year and it stuck.

"Venturers or Venturing, is a program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women. Members must be at least 14 years old, or 13 years old and have completed eighth grade, through age 21. Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.

Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing crew by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills, and become good citizens.

This definition seemed fitting for our Relay For Life team so we added the "For A Cure" to the end and it just stuck.

Every year since we started, I have designed our shirts and we have chosen a different cancer to represent and raise awareness about, while using the designated color for that cancer. In 2010, we used Gray(Brain Cancer) and Orange(Leukemia). In 2011 we used Pink for Breast Cancer(supporting our Grandmother who has since become a survivor) and in 2012, Purple for Pancreatic Cancer. 2013 we chose a racing theme for our tent site and used Lung Cancer which is white. We had checkered flags on our shirts. Last year, 2014, we did a Dr. Seuss theme and represented Childhood Cancer, using Gold and Purple, which is typically used for Neuroblastoma.

This year, Relay For Life was celebrating 30 years and our county chose to go a long with the 80's. Our team chose to do Super Mario Brothers for our theme because it was born the same year that Relay For Life was, 1985. We represented Lymphoma and wore lime green shirts. I thought I would share with you, the design we had for our shirts. So far, this is one of my favorite designs for Relay For Life!
