I am working from home. I take a break to get something to eat. I am walking back in toward the coffee table which is pulled up to the couch (where I have been sitting cross-legged as I plug away on the minutia), carrying my 12 Kalamata olives (only for the very brave because they pack a powerful flavor sensation) and my 1/2 avocado which has been sprinkled with torn cilantro leaves, crushed-between-my-fingers Kosher salt and had lime juice squeezed over the top (I mean, seriously – your mouth should be watering right now!).
I smile when I see this:
Because ~ this is what Luke Bodley (genius boy) sees across the table when we are in meetings. What a happy (and pretty darn well-coordinated) pile of stuff!
My theory?
Oh yeah, baby. Luke doesn’t just get his color and design inspiration out of the air! He sees my computer, my pen bag and pens, my Sea & Ski lip stuff, my meeting notebooks, my coffee mug and my planner. And we all see the finished product! I truly don’t TRY to make this happen…these colors just show up in my life these days.
I’m just kidding. He doesn’t need my help. Luke is a genius designer/marketing/festival-producing kid and we just happen to be in sync on retro-modern, flower-child colors right now. Plus he loves that Colorado-blue sky and I love spring-green grass and those things just cause an exuberantly colorful explosion inside…which then appears! I really LOVE his designs!
By the way: The planner is opened to July and there is only one thing on it: Heaven Fest on July 31st!
Do you know why?…Because Heaven Fest is all there is in July!

Plenty of “Jeanie Green”…I particularly favor the blue!
Ah-yes, Candi. But remember the first year and it was almost all blue? See how the green helps the blue look bluer? That is my role! Thank-you for term “Jeanie-green” which you coined originally! :)
Looks to me like you still work in a green office. ;)
Yes, well…you know. : ) Wait until you see what I found in my inbox the other day…I don’t know what to do with this strong draw I have to crazy color???
Just means we’re colorful people. You just show it off more than I. :) Maybe I should show it more often.
Yes, this year’s colors truly are YOU, mom!
