I am carly, I am apparently a “poodlechop” who is severely lacking in my blog-post-ness.  Therefore, here I am to make my delightful presence known.  First, let me state–there is nothing “poodlechop” about me.  I in no way resemble a poodle and/or chop, let alone both mixed together.

However–I am absolutely an aqua-girl to the point that it is ridiculous.  My husband is still in awe of my ability to get water all around the sink, counter, and hand towel, as well as my talent for spilling water unknowingly onto myself (or others).  In fact, after spilling an entire glass of water onto my keyboard, I decided that I should only drink from those straw-type plastic water bottles.  I consider it the adult, more mature version of the sippy-cup.  Although, that is okay with me, and I assume my computer appreciates it as well.

Do you know someone who is a designer?  Since I spend a lot of time on the internet, I sometimes run into things that are just so cool and that I want…immediately.  So, if you know someone in the field of arts, these are really great gifts!

Things designers may covet:

Pantone mug sets! YES!  Now if they only came with a sippy cup lid, I could get these for my partner in crime, Swenson, aka Aquagirl, aka Suels, aka Poodlechop (she’ll probably have my head for that).

Give them a free gift- the gift of this AMAZING website 101 Things Designers Can Do to Save the Earth.  Developed by the Seattle chapter of AIGA, (which Sprout is a member of- yeah us!) it illustrates 101 things that designers can do to SAVE THE EARTH.  Sprout Design Studios is well on it’s way…

Galaxy Gauge.  You’ll probably be paralyzed at first sight.  It will take awhile for you to get the nerve to even look at this.  You must approach this with caution and tender feet so as not to scare it away.  But eventually, you will have a beautiful and lasting relationship with it.

Just a few ideas to tantalize.

Sprout- out!
