I am seriously so excited to post today! I have spent this week catching up on some me time, sleep and recovering from last week’s crazy insane but awesome schedule.
I have nothing new to post as far as printables today but I am finally getting to unveil Milton & Prescott’s brand new custom logo. Some of you will totally understand what I’m about to describe and those who don’t just hang with me for a couple of paragraphs here.
Have you ever dreamed something in your mind – created it, named it, designed it, loved it, longed for it yet couldn’t make it happen? Well I do that a lot, dream stuff up and design things but usually I can make it happen. I’m willing to attempt most all computer things and home design I’m all over it. Even designing flowerbeds, when it’s not too hot, I can handle. But when it comes to drawing I’m out, I’m done, I could try but what’s the point? I cannot draw more than random figures from sticks and sometimes they don’t even resemble what I had in mind.
There are a couple of people I know who are accomplished artists but there was this one specific artist I wanted to design our Milton & Prescott Logo. I knew deep in my heart that if anybody could make Milton and Prescott come to life outside of my head it was this artist.
Over dinner I explained in detail how I saw Prescott with his top hat with red ribbon, monocle and walking stick. I wanted him to give off a British air since he was native to that country and how I see him as the wisdom of the duo Milton & Prescott. I described Milton as I saw, him gangly and fun, the one of the duo who brings comedy and excitement. I felt like Milton needed something else but I couldn’t put my finger on it, something around his neck I was sure of that.
Talking to this wonderful artist I could tell she got me. She understood what I was trying to say and it encouraged and excited me to know that I would soon get to see these figments of my imagination come to life.
Let me just say this… what I got was so much more than I could have verbalized. When I first laid eyes on the drawing she sent me….. ummm, even now as I pause and remember that day I get goose bumps. There on that white sheet of paper were Milton and Prescott the exact images I had and still do see in my head. But you know Prescott needed something and what he got was perfect!
So without further ado, I give from the hands of artist Lisa Neal and the mind of Kasey Manning (drum roll please) ……………………………….

Thank you so very much Aunt Lisa for bringing these characters to life for me! I absolutely couldn’t have done it without you!

Enjoy!
