• 4 Free Valentine’s Day Printables {with variations}

    Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and today I have some free printables that I made just for the occasion! You can print these out as cards or gift tags to give to that special someone or add them to your Valentine’s decor. I am pretty obsessed with digital art, and I love making these freebies for you. I could spend hours (no joke) looking through fonts and finding cool graphics to use in my designs. I sincerely hope you enjoy these and if you share them on your own blog or elsewhere, I would love to see how you use them! Because I know how people can’t get…

  • Free Printable Fall Subway Art

    I am back again this week with another free printable! If you came by yesterday, you would have seen that I am very much in the holiday spirit with my printable Christmas village. But way back at the beginning of September, I was swooning for fall, and shared a free printable over at Yellow Bliss Road. I am so bad at reposting my guest posts here on my own blog, so this one is a little over due. I figured better late than never, however, since somebody out there might just want to print it off to use this Thanksgiving.  Here is the original post from September 3rd: We are…

  • DIY Printable Christmas Village {Anthropologie Inspired}

    Today, I am thrilled to be participating with several other talented bloggers to bring you tons of early Christmas inspiration and free printables! I created a diy holiday village for our mantel and for you! Simply print it off, cut it out, and voila…instant Christmas town for you to display with your festive decor. A few weeks ago, I saw this gorgeous ceramic village set from Anthropologie, and I fell in love with it. It is by a very talented artist and has a charming, illustrated style which I love… It is no longer available (not that I would have been able to afford it anyways, let’s be real here),…

  • Rustic Fall Mantel Vignette & a Free Printable

    Fall is finally here! Okay, well I know not “technically”, and I am still enjoying these warm summer days, but fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. I already have my rustic mantel decorated for the season – which I am sure will be redecorated several times over during the next couple of months, but here is the “early fall” version: In fact, I actually ended up redecorating it as I was in the process of getting the photos taken for the Fall Vignettes tour I am participating in today (more details below). I changed out the wood shutter above for a rustic piece of wood. I flipped the…

  • Be You {because you are better at it than anyone else} & a Free Printable!

    There is nothing so important in this life than remembering that being you is better than anything else you can be. And nobody else can do it. You are the one and only. It is easy to get caught up in comparison or following the crowds, but our true beauty and loveliness comes from our authenticity. So today I say, be you. Enjoy yourself. Love yourself. With all of your quirks and imperfections, talents and faults, the good and the bad. Accept yourself for who you are and remember that you are an amazing child of God. And I will try to do the same, okay? 🙂  I am offering the first…

  • When Hope Can’t be Found {personal thoughts on depression and suicide}

    Have you ever lost hope? Ever looked in the mirror, with tears streaming down, wishing it could all be over? Ever felt the weight of the world closing in on you? That there might not be a reason to go on? Well, I have.  Many times. Much more than I wish in my short 32 years. As I am beginning this post, I am hesitating. Should I write these words? Or should I hit the delete button right now before this gets too messy? I am going to start by saying this post is uncomfortable. Maybe more real than some people will like. Maybe you will judge me. Maybe you will leave…
