Gold and green take over this week’s favorite things. Clockwise, from the top left: 1. Spring is so close – like thisclose – and this Lavender Field Wreath is an elegant, yet simple, way to say good-bye to winter. 2. These 3-D Four Leaf Clovers from MJ of Pars Caeli are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. I […]

About a month ago, a friend asked if I could re-create a game she saw on Pinterest for her milestone birthday party. Totally simple in concept (and to do): a game for guests to guess the names of famous mustached individuals. The only tricky part was making sure what I sent to her for hanging would work at […]

I’ll always have a soft spot for brown paper packages tied in string, but here are this week’s five favorite things. Clockwise, from the top left: 1. I cannot get enough of Elkebana’s wall mounts. I’m sure someone, somewhere, who is incredibly handy with a drill and has a box of test tubes is already plotting […]

On the morning I left for Alt Summit in Salt Lake City, I couldn’t muster the energy to walk to the nearby Light Rail station. Instead I silently pulled up the Uber app as The Mister and boys walked out the door to the school bus stop. January proved to be a chaotic, showstopper month. As […]

Oh my goodness. Valentine’s Day is this Saturday, which means the kids need their valentine cards TOMORROW for their class party exchange! Don’t panic. I’m here to help. I made two groups of superhero theme valentine cards in PicMonkey. The “My Hero Valentine” set contains 10 cards, all with the phrase “You’re my hero, Valentine.” […]

As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m heading off to Alt Summit very soon. I can truly say I had never experienced anything like the business card exchange that’s present there. It’s a bit crazy and can feel intimidating when you look at your collected stack of cards at the end of the day. But – […]

Next week I’m off to Salt Lake City for Alt Summit. In short, it’s a conference for those who work in creative fields, including consultants, freelancers, and bloggers; and a range of small business owners. It’s a great opportunity to network with other creatives and businesses, learn new while improving current skill-sets, and meet sponsors and […]

I cannot believe it’s 2015! To say the end of 2014 was quick-clipped might be a bit of an understatement; it came at a neck breaking speed. There were more than a few moments I hit the “be present” button to fully appreciate what was happening around me, which meant many other tasks were pushed to side – […]

I’m so excited to share this Favorite Find with you today! Jessica Angel, owner of Oh So Antsy, and I first met in Salt Lake City during this past January’s Alt Summit Conference – only to find out we live less than 20 minutes away from one another in Seattle. How’s that for a small world? Jessica […]

  I was unsure if I was going to finish this before the deadline for the Cricut Design Space Challenge – but it appears I just might make it in time (whoa!). I mentioned yesterday, my team’s theme for this round is “Dreamy White Holiday,” and for me, it means time with friends and family (and snow!). The holidays weren’t […]
