Beginning a Blog

Over the past three years I've grown addicted to reading blogs like Design Sponge and have seen many mornings vanish trying to keep up with them. While I love to read them I've decided its finally time to try writing my own.

The most difficult step in starting this so far has been deciding on a name. One that expresses my identity and encompasses all of the things I want to write about. I've decided for now to call it M Prints.

I've tested out a lot of names and googled them only to find numerous others had the same idea. About 6 months ago I decided I liked M Prints and googled it...there was only one somewhat similar hit. I was relieved...until a couple of days ago. I tried to use it as a user name on Etsy and it was taken. I googled it again and "Oh no!" there were now several hits that led to small design businesses. I guess I need to learn to act a little quicker. With the economy and increasing ease of technology, designers everywhere seem to be creating online businesses. Regardless, I've decided to stick with it, because so far it seems to do what I need it to...


The M represents my last name Morris. I would eventually like to recreate the M monogram as more of a family crest.

Prints represents me as a surface designer and lover of patterns.

M Prints together expresses my interest in writing about the things that make and have made an imprint on me. Encompassing subjects such as family history and heirlooms, adventurous trips, delicious food, and design, design, design!
