Happy Halloween! We hope you enjoy the day whether or not you are dressed as your favorite book character, super hero, villain, or ingenious idea you’ve created! We are also thrilled to announce that we will be covering the Design Sponge book signing in Birmingham, Alabama. Being a long term reader and huge fan, I (Ashley) can’t really begin to describe my excitement! If you are in or around the Birmingham area, you should come! You can find more information here or below.
