Football season is almost here (GO DAWGS)!

First of all, let me just say that I can't wait for fall. It's my favorite season, and it's the best time of the year. To me, nothing beats boots, scarves, pumpkin flavored anything, beautiful leaves, and Georgia football. Since it's almost here, I decided to get into the spirit of things and make some UGA subway art (thank God for PhotoShop). I planned on framing it to show my team spirit and displaying it somewhere in my home. I still plan to do that, but I realized I shouldn't be selfish...so I'm sharing it with you! I believe I have about five people who are reading my blog by now (haha), so I just couldn't keep this to myself.

SO, here you go. You can either share this or download your own copy! I hope you enjoy it, and GOOOOOOO DAWGS!

*Update (12.6.12): In order to be fair to everyone (and myself), I have decided to take this off of the free download site. I am in the process of making some more college teams subway art, and I will put everything in my Etsy shop, including this UGA Subway art. They will be available for purchase for $5. Thanks everyone so much for showing such interest in my subway art! I'm really trying to be fair by making everyone purchase it. It's really not fair for some teams to be free and some to cost money. I also put a lot of time and energy into creating this, and I definitely don't have time to make all the teams available for free download. Thank you so much for understanding!

I met Emily Giffin!


Since this is my first *official* post, I thought it would be good to share something REALLY cool...well, really cool for a book nerd like myself. Last Friday, July 27, I had the opportunity to meet one of my FAVORITE authors, Emily Giffin, at her book signing in Atlanta for her newest novel, Where We Belong (a great read, by the way). If you haven't read her books, you've probably at least heard of them or seen the movie based on her book, Something Borrowed (the word on the street is that Something Blue will follow shortly...). Not only is she a very gifted and talented author, she is extremely sweet, cool, and fan-oriented. She signed all of my books (I took a whole stack, plus got her new book signed for my friend), all of my friend Sarah's books (she had a stack as well!), and posed for a few pictures with us. Needless to say, she was a very gracious host, and I am a lifelong fan.

EG's books are awesome!


Now, I'm assuming mostly ladies would be reading this blog...but I don't want to discriminate. So, ladies AND gentlemen (if there are any here...), if you're interested in EG (which you totally should be), I'd start with her book, Love the One You're With, first. Although I love all her books, I think LTOYW would have to be my favorite, and not just because part of it is based in Georgia. Oh yeah, did I mention EG lives in Atlanta? After that, read Something Borrowed followed by Something Blue. After those...I'll let you figure it out. I hope you enjoy her writing as much as I do!
