Hi guys! In my last post, I declared a challenge I'm taking on called, the 7 Day Make to Create challenge. It's my personal challenge to get myself out of what I like to call, "analysis paralysis." What is that you ask? It's basically a temporary mental paralysis of the overwhelm due to stress, too many … Continue reading An Imperfect Perfection
Make to Create Challenge
Have you ever seen so many inspiring projects on social media and thought, “I could make that!”? Or “I have a great diy project, but it’s probably been done already.” Have you ever been stuck in a creative rut and overwhelm? Or have you kept a diy project idea secret until someone else actually came … Continue reading Make to Create Challenge
Floral Wreath Handlettered Art
I’m currently vacationing in San Diego for my cousin’s wedding and I had this idea of making something handmade as a wedding present. A few weeks back, I asked my cousin what inspirational quote she and her fiancé embodied most. She chose the Bible passage Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will … Continue reading Floral Wreath Handlettered Art
Creative Space Reveal
Friends, I'm so excited to share this HUGE accomplishment as of late. It's been a long (and I mean looong) time coming for me to reveal my home office space. We've packed and moved many times living in rentals that the creative spaces I’ve wanted usually ended up being a place for storage instead of … Continue reading Creative Space Reveal
My 2018 Bullet Journal Supplies + Foundation Pages
In my last post, I shared my 2018 bullet journal process and plans. Today, I'm sharing the 3-4 supplies I use weekly (again keeping it simple).

These … Continue reading My 2018 Bullet Journal Supplies + Foundation Pages
My 2018 Bullet Journal
In my last bullet journal post, I talked about beginning the bullet journaling system for myself because pre-printed planners (though inspirational and beautiful) were not working for me. I shared how I wanted to make my own planner where I can draw my own monthly and weekly spreads and have the freedom to journal and … Continue reading My 2018 Bullet Journal
My 2018 Valentine Cards
Hope you all had a Happy Valentine's Day full of love and appreciation! I'm back with a belated Valentine card design I made this week. This was my first go at designing valentine cards. To be honest, I didn't start making these until about 3 or 4 days before Valentine's Day and the only photo … Continue reading My 2018 Valentine Cards
My Hand Lettering Journey Continued
Happy November 1st! Hope you all had a fun Halloween! I don't know about you, but I'm already planning for Christmas everything (and maybe goals for 2018? Who's with me?). I will be continuing my hand lettering journey on Instagram as I'm currently enjoying the process so far. As promised, here is a collage of … Continue reading My Hand Lettering Journey Continued
My Hand Lettering Journey
Years ago when inspirational quotes and one to two word wall art weren't a trend on social media, I used to post my own inspirational quotes as my status updates on Facebook. Nothing fancy. Just simple type. Then I stopped...and now it is everywhere. Hand lettered, digital type, on planners and calendars and art galleries … Continue reading My Hand Lettering Journey
