The newbie said she was past her prime and stated that she should give it up. How someone could spit this blasphemy about such a classic and understated talent was shocking and sad! Naturally, it got me thinking about Design Boner (as the similarities are obvious) and that got me thinking about metamorphosis.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Normally, I would get sappy and long-winded with you. I would tell you that my aimless fingers keep trying to blog upon an invisible keyboard, when they're not busy picking up the pieces of my broken heart...<br /><br />But this post isn't so much a goodbye as it is a herald - an overstuffed, glittery butterfly announcement - for change and I would like to be brief.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Design Boner has had nearly four years of ad-free, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">snarky</span> fun and I'm proud of this. The blog, as it is, will remain up because we like it and hope you do too. But there's more out there besides bathroom accessories, wallpaper, and trips to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">IKEA</span> and it's time we turn our focus.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So, Lambs, remember us for what we were: smart, funny, and not entirely about sparkle and boners (but mostly).<br /><br /></span>Cardboardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11680133758998057622noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28741655.post-42730216170955678102010-04-04T16:00:00.002-05:002010-04-04T17:25:30.175-05:00Farewell Design Boner<span style="font-family:arial;">It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Design Boner.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">I've had such an amazing experience working on this blog whose name makes the occasional person blush. We've been interviewed twice for two different magazines, had our photos taken, had a gallery show, gone on vacation together but best of all, I was able to work with one of my best friends. I'm very proud of what Cardboard and I accomplished and I couldn't have and wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">I have wanted for some time now to try and make a more serious go at my passion and figure out a way of making some sort of living off of my art. It will be a difficult challenge and I don't expect to be quitting my day job any time soon but I want and need to make a concerted effort at realizing my dreams. The hardest part of all of this is giving up something that has been such a big part of my life for so long and I will miss it dearly.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />Thank you for reading, leaving comments and being so supportive. All my love to Cardboard for being such an incredible partner-in-crime!<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Au revoir!<br /><br /></span>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03713158894962777977noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28741655.post-87047560908545196462010-04-03T13:49:00.013-05:002010-04-03T18:52:50.935-05:00Weekend Flings<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYOWYypXPsmb381NAibaQ9GZxrMGna9_6_xRiJ5hwWU0JhmYnaW0o_0RYXIFZTJEEH47DQ-H-ACUXsbFh82nqCUmxFjkYQTf08aWlt1afSvLYFC4I7yWd5c0BKfge0pw134ILug/s1600/onflesh.jpg"><img style="display: block;

Maybe this means you'll choose the yogurt in the container that can be recycled over the one that can't. Or perhaps you'll turn over a whole new green leaf and become a composting freak (way to go, Mama C!). Hopefully, you're already on board - recycling, shopping farmers' markets, using the heck out of your cell phone before getting a new one - and this post will merely inspire you to push your dedication further. </span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXogOaYg-tmJ2aU4PpAZjjja-EG15N8W5cFi4SvTD9QiP1hLOfkwtJsw_Yav2BD7TqMFMrmfQI65JAcPzX2w9oxy1eLXEuMjTKyd0bQgnm32tvFSJKVmEdW0svRwo_d7XBsoB70g/s1600/trash1.jpg"><br /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">For these reasons, I, Cardboard, declare these images - this motive - a Design Boner.<br /><br /></span>Cardboardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11680133758998057622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28741655.post-56049905874706652552010-03-31T09:58:00.002-05:002010-03-31T10:41:07.819-05:00Worth the Week: Mille<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBT2psDK0lIfjmTZo8D4I6ANrWMpzO7tlEy5OnA21gtLTElcYEYohlpfD7DMOIupFQ1ODuPiu7YsUnVJby0M6v_KRn9aKsSEgUIo85NA0_mosFT3cXJfL4Z1Ro_dv3wq7JE_vbHg/s1600/mille.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBT2psDK0lIfjmTZo8D4I6ANrWMpzO7tlEy5OnA21gtLTElcYEYohlpfD7DMOIupFQ1ODuPiu7YsUnVJby0M6v_KRn9aKsSEgUIo85NA0_mosFT3cXJfL4Z1Ro_dv3wq7JE_vbHg/s400/mille.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454820630815453522" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/65151897@N00/4470152345/"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Mille</span><br /></span></a><br /></div><span style="font-family:arial;">I'm happy with this photo for three reasons:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">1.
