The following post is a guest post my friend Kim. We met at Wartburg our freshman year of college and we became instant friends when we randomly sat next to each other in choir and discovered we were both dating boys who were juniors in high school.

Guys … guess what? My stuff is in the ArtVend machine at Wheatsfield.

Remember that vending machine I told you about? The ArtVend project that lives at Wheatsfield in Ames?
My teeny tiny wallets (now not-so-teeny tiny at 5″x2.5″) and my zippy bags will be in there starting in December.

My friend Doris is getting married and I offered to help pull together her invites.

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
