What do you get when...

...a bunch of 30 something designers hang around each other? This:

(Look closely at the credits, my husband is Jeremy Fett)

The trend continues...

He's no fly, but he is super fly. ;)
Jeremy, designer of all that is good, the handsome young man you see at the bottom of "my fellow wonderers" on the side bar....

has begun a blog dedicated to art, good design, and quirky humor. If any of these things sound interesting to you, please direct your mouse to the link here: www.loosebound.com/blog

It's about time, I say. Quite right. What, what.

I have failed to thank a much respected fellow blogger for a very kind award she bestowed on Wonder Years a while back. Michal, keeper of the wonderfully warm, witty, inspiring and yummy blog, Relishing Motherhood, presented me with this award. I was tickled pink and very honored to receive it.
Michal is hosting an exercise challenge that sounds very exciting. Yours truly would be all over that, if it were not for this impending move, but I LOVE the idea.

And I must give a big hearty thanks to Michelle, blogger extraordinaire, over at Scribbit for her kind remarks about my kids and Wonder Years. If you have not yet discovered Scribbit, then you must be new to the blogging world. She is revered by us mom-bloggers and it's not hard to see why. I love reading her well-written posts, drooling over her recipes and trying my luck in her contests. I found her posts on blogging, especially helpful while trying to navigate my way in this crazy medium. I was surprised, and again, deeply honored.

Thank you!

Truth Restored

My husband helped his professor on a photo shoot for the "Truth Restored" campaign for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He got to travel to New York City and meet the photographer, Neil Selkirk. It was a very neat experience and I'm thrilled to see the banners on other people's blogs. You can find out more information about the campaign here. If you click on the picture below it will take you to mormon.org

This is what our family believes. It makes us happy. It gives us hope. It gives our lives so much meaning and purpose. There is a God. He sent His son to earth. Jesus is the perfect example of love. Because of His death and resurrection, we can also live again and be with the ones we love, forever. All of the simple truths of His gospel have been restored today. We invite everyone to learn of this gospel and urge you to invistigate for yourselves whether it is true.

If you want to display these on your site, email me and I'll send you the html that includes the link to mormon.org ALSO if you have any questions about what I believe please email me : sonja@sonjasfunbooks.com

Rm303: Terrific Graphic Design

You may or may not be aware of our family's journey these past 3 years. If not, I will post about it here and there. If so, then you know how ELATED I am to unveil the culmination of 3 years of blood, sweat and tears. (and joy and learning and happiness too). I'm TOTALLY showing-off my husband here so feel free to just skip this post if you are not into really good graphic design.
For our family and friends who are anxiously waiting. Here it is ...the new...the fabulous...

This is why I married him folks

Jerm and I have been married for ten years. June was the month. Seattle was the place. It has been a very wonderful 10 years and before everyone rolls their eyes, I promise not to be this mushy all the time.
But...My husband is amazing! There ARE some fringe benefits to marrying a graphic designer and you are looking at one of them. Ever since I stepped into the world of blogging (about 3 months ago) I've been asking him to design a cool template for me. And now you have the proof people! HE LOVES ME!!! :D
(and I love him, too)

He worked on a really cool project this year for the Typophile Film Festival. If you are into typography or graphic design and want to see it click here.

Jeremy has some cool pictures that he's taken and also some pictures of his BFA project at this site:
