A Cherished Moment

I took a break the other day from the craziness that is December and worked on a little junque book. It felt really good to create just for the fun of it. With a nice cup of Nutcracker tea in hand and a little Etta James in the background, it was one of those rare quiet moments in what has become an extra busy time of year. You see we are in the midst of buying a house and well it is a bit hectic being around the holidays, it is a very exciting time for us. I'll share more on the house front as it unfolds.

Back to the little junque book. I decided not to over do it, but rather just get it started and leave it for someone to add their own special touches.

There are pockets filled with creative goodies.

and little embellishments throughout.

It's just waiting for someone to personalize it with their own special memories. You can see more of my little junque book here.
Happy Creating!

Thankful

This year has taught me so many things. . . patience, faith, tenacity, and most of all to remain open and optimistic for the future while embracing each day. It was a trying year in so many ways, and now as Thanksgiving approaches I am reminded of something I feel everyday. Thankful. . .for my family, my friends, to be able to do what I love for a living, and most of all the unwavering love and support of my husband and children. This journey is so much more meaningful with them by my side. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday with those you love most.

A Few of Our Favorite Things

I have been busy listing new treasures and have many more to go! I was doing some cleaning and reorganizing and found things I didn't even know I had! Supplies have been rolling in this week and now I have so many fun new goodies to play with I don't know where to start! Perhaps I'll just dive in.
Have a lovely weekend!

In With The New

I am way past due for a blog post. Lately however, I can't seem to tell whether I am coming or going! Between working/creating, running a household, keeping 2 very active children busy, buying a house and the million and one other things we do as moms and wives, well . . . at the end of the day I simple collapse on the couch and knock out.

Despite all this hustle and bustle I really wouldn't have it any other way. It is a joy each day to grab my list and start knocking off items one at a time, having that sense of accomplishment when I am done. . even it is only something as simple as folding the laundry that has been piled up for too many days to mention.

With that said, here are a few new journal designs just listed. They are girly and feminine but I just had to put the holidays aside and start dreaming of soft pastels for a change.

I know Halloween is just around the corner, literally . . . but I am already moving on to well . . . pinker things. :)

A Wonderful Treat!

Thank you Romantic Homes for featuring our "Be Merry" Gift Tags in the November issue's Holiday Guide! What a thrill! 3 years ago I could have only dreamed of opening up one of my favorite magazines to see our work inside. What a blessing, I have to just pinch myself!!

These cute little tags and many more fun holiday goodies can be found here!

Loving Fall

I am really loving Fall this year. In one week we have gone from 114* to 60's and rain. It has been so long since we have had rain. I think it was maybe in April so this is nice. The cooler weather inspired me to bake a batch of pumpkin muffins for breakfast today and take a much needed break from what has been a very hectic, busy few weeks. We are house hunting, and while it is exciting it is also a ton of work. I guess I didn't realize just how much work! I have spent my days running around looking at properties and getting paperwork to one person or another. We hope something comes through and we can be moved before Christmas. (fingers crossed)

Well, back to enjoying my sweater weather.
Happy Wednesday!
