make.

Wednesday, February 6, 2013 By Unknown 0 Comments
A couple weeks ago I finally decided that my word for this year is make. I went back and forth for awhile, trying to decide whether make or plan related more to my thoughts and ideas and goals for 2013.
I made a list for each with ideas and concepts about the two words. Make had stuck out to me a lot and finally, I just decided that was the word. 
Making is part of who I am (a part of who we all are!) - I especially like to make things with (no surprise ;)) paper. Food. Fabric. And part of my goals for this year include making some different things. But more than just those tangible things, I want to focus on making goals. Making a plan for my blog and shop. Making meal plans. Making time. Making do. Making choices.
I felt like this word encompassed both the creative side of me and the more practical side of life that I want to better employ this year (and always!).

So, I started to make a few little things to explore using the word on paper and to go in my One Little Word binder. I am loving it. I love thinking about new ways to create with the word on paper. I love having it at the forefront of my mind thus far, and trying to be more self-disciplined with the practical side of life. Welcome, make. So excited for this year :)

hello, february. let's make a plan.

Tuesday, February 5, 2013 By Unknown 0 Comments
After an impromptu couple week hiatus, I have returned :) As many of you know and can relate, life is busy :) But I have missed this space and being here (If you keep up with my instagram and facebook, you can usually find me there, even when I'm not here blogging everyday :)). I have been mulling over several projects and ideas, as well as finishing up some custom book orders and these two journals.

I am excitedly working through Ali Edwards' One Little Word class and will share the start of that here soon. After much debate in my mind, I decided to focus on the word "make" for this year. January flew by. The post-holiday season, gather myself together, get back into a routine month. So February, let's make a plan. Let's plan out the next couple days. The next couple weeks. The next couple months. A plan of small and big goals for the blog and shop, a plan of small and big goals for our family, and a plan of small and big goals for me personally. Let's go :)

food: easy guacamole

Thursday, January 17, 2013 By Unknown 0 Comments
I love, love, love guacamole. Love it. Strangely, I've never made my own, I've always purchased it ready made. Until yesterday :) My friend made some the other day and I decided to try making some myself. It turned out fabulous. Fabulous! So fresh and yummy.
Easy Guacamole - adapted slightly from allrecipes.com
3 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1/2 small tomato, seeded and chopped
1/4-1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice from one lime
Salt and pepper, to taste

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse about 10-20 times (depending on how chunky or smooth you like your guacamole :)).

Chill for a half hour. Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy! :)

Ya'll are awesome. Thank you SO much for your input and ideas for new journals.

Two journals that really stuck out to me were "Lovely Days" and "Garden Party". So thanks and congrats to Jean and Andrea! I will be emailing you soon. Here are a few sneak peaks at some idea boards for the new journals. Thanks everyone - so, so much. I really appreciate you all :)
Lovely Days - Lavender, aquamarine, and vintage book pages
Garden Party - Green, yellow, red, coral, and brown
My apologies for the delay in posting the winners - mild sickness entered our home late last week but all is well now :)

currently: my desk

Friday, January 11, 2013 By Unknown 0 Comments
I do like to try (keyword: try) and keep my workspace (somewhat) tidy. But sometimes it just gets a little out of control. Like it is currently. A lovely assortment of magazines (that have yet to be read ;)), washi tape, two new journals I was listing in the shop, a paper pack from here, a baby monitor (my little ones are asleep :)), Lemon Cream lotion, my notebook, some Studio Calico goodies, my OLW binder, a mini colander (what?!) and breadbasket (?!), a UPS return label receipt, a book on colors for my little girl, and a bill for a toll road in NC that we didn't have enough change for ;)  *Disclaimer: I did move my camera off of the top of those books (ahem). Other than that, this is what my desk looks like at the moment. 

See? It's not always this clean ;)

sneak peaks: new journals and a giveaway

Tuesday, January 8, 2013 By Unknown 0 Comments
Working on two new journals right now: an I Love You journal and a color-schemed Mixed Paper journal :) These will be available in the shop later this week. 
GIVEAWAY: I'm currently planning different color schemes for new journals. Any color schemes you'd like to see or suggest? :) Leave a comment on this post for a color scheme idea and a name for your color scheme! For example: pinks and yellows and vintage book pages could be named "Strawberry Lemonade". If I choose that one, I will create and send you one of those new journals. The journal will be 4"x6" and 15-20 pages. It will be ready to ship 7-10 days after comments close. Please keep names of color schemes appropriate and uplifting :)

One comment per person. If color schemes are suggested multiple times, I will use random.org to pick a winner of that color scheme. International entries welcome. Please leave your email address in the comment. Comments will close on Friday, January 11 and I will announce a winner that evening :)

**Please note: I will be looking at suggestions and names and possibly using them for future journals for sale in my shop, even if it is not the color scheme I choose as a winner for this giveaway. I will put credit in the listing for the name of the color scheme, since I didn't come up with it :)
