My brother, Max, and (my soon to be sis-in-law) Samara are getting married this weekend!
I’m heading down to Santa Cruz now. Can you believe, this is the first time I’ll actually be a bride’s maid? I’m excited… and I just hope the shoes don’t kill my feet. haha. Should be a serious party though! I’m stoked.
They’re the cutest couple ever & I’m so happy for them!

pictobrowser – so cool!
If you want to use this, all you have to do is hit INFO & enter your Flickr username. However, note that it wants whatever you have in as your actual name… i.e. for me it wanted ‘Willo’, not ‘willotoons’ (even though my link is flickr.com/photos/willotoons), so that was kinda weird. What happens when there’s more than one ‘Joe’? Luckily I’m the only Willo? I dunno, try it out.
I also found it’s hard to see all your tags, for some reason, but you can easily select a word, copy the code & then replace the word you selected with the tag you want to use. Anyway, still pretty dang cool!
UPDATE: Ok, this is just too fun… I had to do a few more:
- Ali & Willo’s Show Ho Pro 2005 Set – I made her a poster of all these for Christmas that year! hee!
- Kazoobie! – the snuggliest fuzzy pants around
- Foods I Buy… – Yes, I have documented this. I know, I’m weird.
- Me, Myself & I – cuz I’m sure you haven’t got enough of me, right?
sizing guide is posted
Just an FYI, for those of you who have written in asking about sizing, I just posted a Sizing Guide.
All of the other CSS little quirks I mentioned are getting fixed up little by little, too. Thanks again for all of the feedback and screenshots you’ve provided! Super helpful to have extra eyes on it all. Especially those of you trapped to the confines of IE. haha. (hech hemm, download Firefox!)
I’ve been super swamped this week catching up on client work, so I haven’t even sent a mass announcement email out yet. But, as soon as I get these teeny fixes in place I will. Then, once I have some time, I have to put together some new business cards, create a little mini catalog for wholesale orders, create some sort of press packet (Aubs & Ali, I’ll need your help on this one), and I still have plans to make WilloBot.com into my corporate design portfolio site! Alas, this weekend is my brother’s wedding, so I’m gone again & it will all have to wait till next week.
By the way, why haven’t you ordered something from the WilloToons Shop yet? :)
serendipitous
yay for new friends

My first night at Tastings, I met Sandy’s hairdresser, Kristin, and she reminded me so much of Amanda – who I had just met & totally hit it off with on Samara’s Bachlorette Napa trip. So I started telling Kristin about her, and took this photo of her & her cool sweater to show Amanda (because she’s a clothing designer & has done some awesome designer sweater/hoodies, so I knew she’d dig this).
While I was sitting at the bar at Tastings, I got an email from Amanda (checking it on my TREO, because I’m a dork) talking about how we were excited to see each other at Samara & Max’s wedding next weekend… and I replied telling her all about this cool girl Kristin I just met who reminded me of her. In my reply I also mentioned I was in Maui – and get this, the next morning I got an email from Amanda that she was there in Kihei too with her mom & sister! OMG! So, as you’ll see in the Maui photoset, we hung out a number of times, drove to Hana together, etc. So awesome!
Her Mom & sister were so cool, too. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better match – especially for an all day excursion to Hana! We all share the same sense of humor and were able to instantly be comfortable and move at the same pace. So great!
I was going to go to Hana by myself, but I’m soo glad they wanted to go, because between the fish tacos & swimming in the fresh water cave pool, I know I experienced more going with them. Serendipity!
See you at the wedding this weekend, Amanda! :)

I’m officially in *love* with this black sand beach & I want to marry it! Every single beach in the world should have this sand… it’s so wonderfully un-sandy! It doesn’t stick to you & never come off like normal sand. Seriously, I love it!! :)
me & sandy!
Friends for TWELVE years. Awesome.

Can you tell she’s really trying hard to smile? haha. Sandy’s one of those that I have to talk into letting me take photos of her, but I gotta say, she did pretty good handling my incessant photo snapping while I was there! It’s cuz she loves me. :p
I had SUCH a great time in Maui. I’m home and of course have a ton to catch up, not to mention a ton of photos to sort, name & post – but wait till you see them! The Hana pics especially… so dreamy!
p.s. Here’s another cutie one of my gracious Maui hosts:
Thanks for everything, you guys!! And a HUGE congrats on selling the business & moving forward. Big Love! xoxoxo
