Hello, I am the Project Queue!

My name is Joslyn and I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska where mile-high skyscrapers and mile-long cornfields are just 30 minute drives from each other. I love it here in Nebraska, and am proud to call it home. In 2011, I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Fine Art with an emphasis in graphic design. I've loved creating art since as long as I can remember and have yet to run out of creative juice. Illustration and design are my passions, but I also love working on creative projects as well. Since discovering Pinterest a couple of years ago, I've "pinned" a bunch of DIY projects and crafts that seemed fun, interesting, and practical to me. However, I found myself throwing a lot of these projects on the back burner. Every time I came across a creative idea that I wanted to try, I thought to myself, "Throw it in the project queue, I'll get to it eventually." But with summer arriving and a lot of new-found free time with my new design job, I discovered I had a lot more time to work on things than I thought! I decided to start The Project Queue to document my projects and hopefully inspire others to get out there and be creative! I will try and update weekly with either a new project I am working on or other helpful design tips. Feel free to share your ideas, projects you've done, or any other helpful advice you can give! Instead of sitting around and collecting ideas, get up and finally create one! It's a lot easier than you think.
