Introducing… k.

Surprise! I’ve hinted at this before, and it’s been a loooong time in the making thanks to eye surgeries, computers blowing up, all-consuming finals, Christmas holidays, a wee bit of procrastination… you know, the usual excuses. But at long last, I’m thrilled to open my new blogging adventure, k.! I’ll admit, I’ve been having a bit of a blogging identity crisis over the last few months trying to figure out where I wanted to take Shimmer Like Gold as myself and the blog have evolved a looot over the past few years. The logical explanation after much (muuuuuch) sole searching was a new blog. Shimmer Like Gold will continue to be a place of constant dumping of anything and everything that I’m inspired by at present, and k. will be my new little playground to get a little more personal — something a little more substantial, more original, uniquely me. You know, bits of art, photographs, some doodling, design projects… the like. If any of that sounds at all appealing to you, I hope you’ll check out and follow along my new adventure!

P.S. Stay tuned over the coming week for a few little change-ups around these parts as well.

Salut, mes amis! Remember me? Things have been quiet around here over the last 2 months. Thanks to a Christmas miracle (a.k.a. the wonders of Apple’s customer service), my computer’s life has been saved and I’m back in business! Horray! Confetti! I’ve sure missed the blogosphere and I’m so glad to be back. So stay tuned because I’ll be bringin’ the sparkley (plus some other nifty things) back around these parts again pronto! Thanks for all the support during my time away. Regular posting shall resume again within the next day… so stay tuned! xo.

Greetings from Down Under! The last few weeks of travel have been such a whirlwind, I don’t even know where to start. I’m having a great time so far, and I have a truck-load of pictures to share once I get a chance to sit down and sort through them. Gosh, it’s been so long since I’ve blogged properly (over a month, going on two!), I fear I don’t even remember how any more. I hope no one minds if I cheat a teeny weeny bit this morning with a sort of “drive by” post. I’m so over-flowing with inspiration and things I want to share that I almost don’t even know where to begin. Consider this my “Today (a.k.a. the last 3 weeks) I’m Inspired By The Following Things” post.
