Passion.

Journaling has become a passion of mine recently, I didn't even think I would finish it and I'm so happy I did!  I just started my second book, this one is a smash book, and I'm using my own designs to complement the pages.  There have been so many inspiring things lately, it's been hard to take it all in. Joanns had an amazing sale on all scrap booking supplies last week. Some of my great finds were die-cuts from Smash book and Amy Tangerine. The discounts were so great I ended up going back twice to rummage the shelves for more hidden gems. The end result has been two great journal pages. The to see how my life will shape the rest of this journal.

Attempt

So I've been feeling very inspired for the past few days, I feel like I say this often, so let me rephrase, I love exploring new blogs. I have so many favorites a list would be impossible. Anyways, I tried my luck at HTML (HyperText Markup Language) if you didn't know also known as confusion and headaches! I really did try very hard to make myself a new background and banner but it just wasn't in the cards for me just yet. So since Photoshop was already opened I attempted to make some cute patterns/journal cards. Here is my end result : CHEVRON PATTERNS!!

(This is something my mom said while we were out craft shopping.. Isn't she hilarious?) 

Stamp the night away.

I've been super busy today making new merch! Who knew my sister could market me so well at her work. She sported pair of my festive ornament earrings to work one night and ended up selling it a few hours later. When I went to drop off more I was overwhelmed by all the girls who wanted a pair. I had so much fun personalizing the muslin pages with my handmade stamp, I can't wait to pass them out!

Instamemories.

October is gone, as you can see it took me a while to admit it. I love October, it's sad to see it go. However,  November is here and with that a new segment I will be doing every month, I will upload some Instagram photos that highlight the month. (Since this is the 1st time the layout may change month to month) (From top left to bottom right) : 1. Canary and Boots admiring our new coffee table. 2. An amazing vintage camera I thrifted. 3. A Mickey Mouse pumpkin at Disney 4. Our mantle all dressed for the Halloween.
