In a blog post earlier this year, Holly Becker from Decor8 blog encouraged readers to be bold in decor and design and life, 'leaving safe behind.' I love Holly. She is one of the pioneers in online blogging for interior designers and creatives in general. Her voice and style ...

I love a homemade Valentine card to send via snail mail. Finally, a batch was completed and mailed out- hoping they get to their intended recipients by this Valentines Day! This year I went into batch mode to make simple and sweet Valentines with items I already had. Batch mode ...

I had a few unexpected hours this past Saturday morning to work on Christmas projects. There's nothing like a little pressure to inspire me to get moving and finish a project.
