Hand-Scripted Invitations
JC's sister, Jenny (who I guess I should call my sister-in-law now, yay!) was in town visiting us from DC back in March 2015. We were talking about her upcoming wedding in June 2015 and she was showing me some stuff on Pinterest that she was considering for the direction of her invitations…
Holla! A New Drone!
I tend to get obsessed with things. Right now I am pretty obsessed with the sweater from Cents of Style. I'll be wearing it at least once a week, so if you see me in real life in the next month, there's a good chance this is what I will be wearing…

Bye October!
The month went too fast and I think I only spent 7 nights in my own bed. It was full of travel and work and projects and fun, but man oh man did it fly by much too quickly…
Remember This…
Feeling gratitude for the community of women who came together at the first She Loves Color event in Milwaukee, WI this past weekend…
Never Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle DIY | Collab with Michelle Wines
Most of our weeknights are spent at home. Dinner is usually something simple, and if JC gets home from work early enough, we can enjoy the evening together as a family. We try to not make a habit of having the TV on, but some nights are an exception during football season…
Tokyo Workshops!

Planner stamps blog hop with Hero Arts
It has been a little too long since I have shown you any planner related things. To be truthful, my planner these days is not worth showing and there's too much sloppy handwriting and things I would have to blur out anyways…
Be Brave, Fierce and Free
Love that we have a mostly positive environment in both the comments section of my videos and here. I know you're not supposed to feed the trolls, but I just had to bring this up and for those of you who are curious (I know I would be) the comment appeared from someone on YouTube…
