Project Life goals going forward One of my goals going forward (other than taking lots more photos) is more in depth, personal journalling about the every day life of things. On Q&As One fun thing… Read More

Project Life: Title Page

Project Life: Title Page

At the end of December, I started on my Project Life 2017 album. This may be somewhat humorous because I’ve literally started this project three different years, and I’ve yet to actually finish a year. This year is the year I want to change all that. How am I going to change my un-finishing Project Life? First, I’ve already prepped… Read More

Craft Books for Summer

Craft Books for Summer

My baby girl loves crafts. In fact, the one thing she wanted to do this summer being out of school—crafts and sewing (which she doesn’t know how to do yet, but it’s on the list). A few weeks ago, BookOutlet.com‘s 50 for 50 deal was on craft books. After scrolling through the titles, I ended up buying a few for… Read More

Quick and Easy DIY Notebook Covers

Quick and Easy DIY Notebook Covers

Writers have to have their notebooks (we are not going to count how many I currently have). And while I prefer my Moleskines plain-jane, I like my notebooks anything but. I’m not sure why. I just fill them with scribbles (kinda literally since when I write long-hand, I let it all out. What it looks like on the page is sometimes… Read More

Sewing School 101 + a giveaway!

I have been sewing for a long, long time. I remember when I was eight and my parents won sewing lessons from a local lady here in town—thus began my sewing journey. And yet, there is still so much that I have yet to learn. One of the things that I love about Nicole’s book is it isn’t just thrown… Read More

Book Report: let’s sew together

Book Report: let’s sew together

This is probably a book every mom needs on her shelf for summer. Every project is so creative and fun. Elsie has already gone through and told me what she wants to make. I love that this book encourages you to let your child’s imagination run wild—and let them help with the projects! Elsie has been wanting to “sew” for… Read More

Quick Craft: Elastic Bookmark

      A dear sweet friend had a birthday this week. Being short on time (and still recovering from dress shopping with three kids on Saturday) I decided to make this cute bookmark. I’ve been a long time follower (and big fan) of Wild Olive’s blog and I love, love, love her little patterns. I downloaded the book pattern… Read More

Want to read Project Grinch first? 

While I don’t have a lot to tell you about the storyline, the general idea is if the Grinch and Buddy the Elf were stuck on a roadtrip together at Christmas time (the Grinch is female in this story!) 

If you like YA fiction, rom-coms, and Christmas stories, you hopefully will enjoy Project Grinch.

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices. 

I could listen, and not write ever again.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
