I have been running into the same thing. Granted, we got a total of ten inches of snow last week and it's been colder than anything I've ever experienced. I've been trying to break out of my normal pattern. Routine is SO important to keeping our household running but where I can change it up, I do. I've been trying new recipes, trying new books at the library, even checking out new shows on TV. I've found that when I unplug for a little while (including turning off the radio in the car), it helps me wake up my imagination and creativity just a bit more.
Creative Block...
You know how writers get that thing called 'writers block?' Well, I think this past month or two, I've had 'creative block.' I seriously can't come up with anything. The only productive thing I've done, (besides a wedding flower job) is catch up on my Project Life from 2013. I was soooo far be...
Ive been looking around at Michaels for decorative/cute flags to use in my PL book for title cards. Mostly I was curious about the star paper clip - I cant find anything like that at my craft store :-)!
Project Life 2013 // Week 43
Still working on 2013 over here! Here is week 43, the first week of November and the week I ran the New York City Marathon. I used this photo of the trees in NYC as my color scheme. At the time, it was still pretty warm and summer-like in Austin so I was super happy to experience a real fal...
Love the PL pages - congrats on the Marathon! If you don't mind my asking - where do you find such cool flags and paperclips for your pages?

This looks and sounds fabulous! I love lemonberry flavors- so good!
Lemonberry Martini
It's always fun to create a cocktail that evokes a treasured memory. This summer, my husband Todd and I took a little mini anniversary trip to Kansas City and had one of the best meals of our life. We tried a few of the most delicious sounding cocktails and resolved to recreate a few of them on...
Fun new goals! I love the idea of a picture every morning. If I were to do that, I would probably have quite a few coffee pictures! I picked verbs as resolutions this year, but I have some blogging goals, life goals, and Project Life goals. I just started PL in September and am finally caught up (I started it with my wedding back in May) and am excited to see where this year takes me!
around here.
Three cheers for a new year. On a whim, I decided to document my mornings in 2014. Very un-official. Very hashtag-able (#eliselovesmornings). Just a photo a day shared on (what else?) Instagram. This book is still one of my favorite creative books and totally inspired this project. I doubt...

Paper Bakery Kits Design Team
Hooray! Hooray! I'm happy to be joining the Paper Bakery Kits Design Team for the first half of this year. It's a great kit club with many different options. I'll be mainly working with the Scrapbook Kit, but there are also kits for Capture 365 (Project Life), Mixed Media and Project Kits. Tru...
I'm actually really excited for the instapockets. I document a lot of our life with Instagram!
Simple Stories Sneak Peek
I am so excited to be on SImple Stories design team for one more year. I had to share a sneak peek of the new products they have coming for Winter 2014. I absolutely love the new collections. You might have spotted the insta squares for 6x8 albums or the clear black and white photo stickers ...
I love the drawings and cannot wait to see more. I love getting peeks at what is in folks' vanities!

the queen bee market & a rambling business tanget.
Last weekend I participated in the Queen Bee Market. This was my third time as a vendor and my favorite experience so far. The event was packed both days from open to close and people seemed to be buying - not just looking - which is so awesome to see. (Hooray, handmade!) I love the creative...
This is a gorgeous space - open and airy but homey and cozy all at once! I love the clothesline of photos - I'm hoping to do the same in my space soon :-)
At Home With Erica Feldmann
We are so pleased to welcome Erica Feldmann to the blog today to share bits of her home with us! "My boyfriend Dave and I live in a two bedroom apartment in Somerville, MA with our cats Moscow and Salem. We fell in love with the space right away because of its natural light, original French do...
that's really cool! If I were to DIY something like this, I'd probably do the line "I'll always look out for you" from Sparks by coldplay.
All You Need Is Love
I've been making some major progress on our guest bedroom! Choosing and making decorations for that room has been a major treat. Today I want to share a simple DIY that creates the look of bleached type on denim without the mess or the chemicals! So we collaborated with Pentel to make this deni...
Nice post! I understand the feeling of trying to figure out what can make it better in the moment, esp if the moment cannot provide exactly what i need.
You Seem Happy
My parents and sister were down last weekend. Right before they left, my mom looked at me and said, "You seem happy." And she's right -- I am happy fairly consistently right now. I would say I'm in a good place, only I no longer believe in good places and bad places, only places. One might think...
thank you so much for coming to visit my blog this week!
The Birds Are Back
Every year there is one day when I realize the mornings aren't quiet any more as my girl and I wait for the bus. This was that morning in 2013. The birds are back. No matter how life is going, the day I realize the birds are back is a good day. My sister says February is the worst month. I use...
