Today was exciting!

These photo represent a very tiny start into something NEW and really really fun!
I imagined how they would come out in my head today, and came home to make them happen.
They didn't turn out quite as nice as I had hoped, but I wanted to post them anyway.


Now...read on:
I'm taking this (awesome) online Indie Biz 2.0 class to help me further my side business that will hopefully one day be my only business.
My business is a variety of items, mostly paper: invites, announcements, stationary, note cards, etc. but I also want to do design work for other people for their social media needs: blog banners, twitter backgrounds etc.
I make girly designs and cute like stuffs.

I have never in my life been able to come up with a company name.
For the last two years I have just went with: Nicole Underwood Design
and the url: www.nicolunderwood.com

But I am in the process of re branding myself and starting fresh, so a real name would be good.
I went through like a billion and one names last night and this morning!

Some things I have come up with:
- Charming Hellos
- Dainty Doodles
- Darling Doodles (this one kinda makes me want to puke)
- Scribbles & Sprinkles
- Art with Sprinkles
- Lines & Sprinkles (too coke-ish?)
- Doodles & Sprinkles
- Paper with Sprinkles
- Like Honey (you know, like sweet and stuff)

What do you think?
Cute, fun, sassy, cheeky....it's all me, right?
I love it and am super excited about getting started on my re-branding.
It's gonna be HUGE!

I was thinking that I will keep my little owl logo, cuz I love it SO much.
And am going to have a huge line of cute and awesome things.
Lots of takes on "HELLO", owls, mustaches, and yes...even cupcakes.

Thanks to EVERYONE on threadless, twitter, facebook & club indie for your input.
It helps SO much to get feedback.
I love you all!
