Dearest, dearest readers! Guess what? Yellowtrace is going to be 3 years old tomorrow! Can you seriously believe it? I am honestly struggling with the concept… Today I would like to ask you for a little bit of your time in hope that you will help us improve the site for next year by completing our 2012 reader survey. As a reward for your efforts, you will be given the chance to win some incredible prizes. Since tomorrow is our 3rd birthday I thought it would be fitting to throw a little Yellow Party to celebrate this milestone! In honour of our signature colour, yellowtrace has partnered with 9 of our valued sponsors who are generously offering you the chance to win 13 fantastic prizes valued over $3,000 AUD! Totes amaze, no? Why don’t you move a little bit closer so I can tell you a bit more about the prizes…

Well, we finally did it! Post Gallery is live and ready for some action baby! Woot! We introduced it as an added feature for easier visual navigation through all the blog posts. It is also there to feed you an unhealthy dose of high-octane design inspiration. You can browse through the latest articles by looking at images without having to read the text, or focus your search around specific categories or months etc…

Dearest yellowtrace friends,

And so we meet again… I hope you’ve enjoyed all the posts during the last 5 weeks and that you haven’t missed me too much. Do tell! I thought it was only fair to give you a little update on what I’ve been up to, especially since many of you have been asking about our little ray of sunshine. So here goes…

Our baby boy arrived at 00:22am on 16th of April 2012. And just like that – everything changed. The world got bigger, hearts grew fuller and life meant more because he was in it. This is something I’ve often heard but never really understood… until now. His name is Luka (he lives on the second floor – and no, he wasn’t named after that song)…

Dearest yellowtrace friends,

If you are reading this post, that can only mean one thing – our little ray of sunshine has finally arrived and I am now officially mama yellowtrace. Ummm… Wow! Can you believe it? I am literally pinching myself at the thought of meeting our little baby as I pre-write this post in my super-nerdy organised style.

I just wanted to let you know what will be happening here while I am recovering from birth (no biggie, it’s just a baby!) and taking a wee bit of time to enjoy the ride…

Hi guys! I just wanted to let you know about a little interview with yours truly over on the Living Edge Blog last week. I was chatting to Skye about my career, the path that lead me to the creation of this blog, my creative process and approach to design inspiration, how much I love my mum’s food etc. If you like, you can read it here.

Big thanks to Skye for having me and for organising such a lovely interview…
