ABOUT
Candy-coated is my online scrapbook - a collection of random thoughts, inspirations, and dreams, reblogged, found on the internet or not, that awaken my soul, anything unusual or pretty, stuff I indulge in and make my heart skip a beat.
Have fun around here.

So. Original plan: collect some data, make a totally sweet-ass visualization of it, print it, frame it, give it to Heather on our wedding day. Nice, right?
As ever, it didn’t quite work out.
For one: Illustrator is really hard. This looks nothing like it does in my head. Had to make a lot of compromises. Two: I didn’t finish it in time. Partially related to the previous point, partially related to me not having this idea far enough in advance (about 3 days). Three: No privacy while Heather is at home! And she took a day off work during those 3 days! Making my deadline effectively 2 days! Having never even used Illustrator! Without even owning a copy of Illustrator!
So. Yeah.
Regardless, I kind of like how it turned out. I had a much better idea in mind (two, actually) for the timeline portion, but I wasn’t able to get a good enough grasp on Illustrator to make it happen (see point one).
Now I have a year before our first anniversary to get better at Illustrator and make a way better version depicting our first year together.
Click to see it big, by the way.
this is so sweet.

Although it was a disappointment you could drive safely while kissing me, I still miss our red lights.
