Throughout my sugar hiatus (three months now), I've eaten my fair share of sugar-free chocolate pudding. So of course I was amused by this design project: a pudding package for every buyer by Yvonne Niewerth. See all 30 of the designs here.

My friend Shalynna and her husband created this awesome telegram announcement to share good news with their family (baby on the way). So clever, I love it.

And this is still the most hilarious baby announcement of all time.
