I love this project! Ali is always so inspiring and has THE BEST designs!
Ali Edwards December Daily® giveaway!
Good morning SCT friends! We are in the midst of distribution of the fall issue and kits but are thrilled this morning to be partnering with one of our favourite people in the industry, Ali Edwards. We've known Ali for years and if you'e read SCT magazine then you've seen her amazing article e...
You're so welcome! I can't believe I'm just now seeing this comment. It did take some extra time and was worth it for sure. My gallery wall is still up with only a few swap outs for some some family portraits we had made :)

I do many of my home projects by myself. Sometimes I run ideas by others and sometimes I just go for it. There are, however, some projects where it really helps to have some help. Whether it's just that extra set of hands or someone to bounce ideas off of, there are definitely times that I wish ...
My faves from this summer: Girl on a Train, Ashely's War, and We'd you go Bernadette?
Five on Friday: July Reading List
I didn't get a chance to post a reading list for June so this month is a combo of both months and boy oh boy is it a mixed bag! China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan - I enjoyed reading Crazy Rich Asians and although I rarely find sequels to meet expectations, I think I liked China Rich Girlfri...
The wildwood is my fave too, only in the celadon color. I was just shopping for new bedding fro my stepdaughter's room today!
a bedroom update {giveaway} with dwellstudio! (now closed)
DwellStudio has been one of my long-time favorite design companies that put modern and well-designed bedding on the map. Since their launch in 2000, they've evolved from simply a bedding line to a full-blown interiors brand that includes furniture, decor, and more. They've also expanded into k...
Jess Lively recently had a podcast with Alexandra Franzen and they talked about this book and the book "Less" and in the show notes Jess made a printable of the checklist from tidying Up. I know you mentioned that you wrote it down, but I thought it might be handy to pass it along. http://jesslively.com/alexandrafranzen
tidying = life changing?
The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo If you've been here awhile you may or may not know that I am ALL ABOUT THE TIDYING. Actually the more I think about it, the more you may not know that. So here's the deal...ready? I hate clutter. I mean, no one LOVES clutter. No one openly t...
I love seeing these types of photos! I've been thinking about making my own book of sorts and I wondered how and where you were getting yours published/printed. Super cool!
GET TO WORK BOOK : it's becoming real!
I was so excited to get some behind the scenes photos from Jolby + Friends who did press checks up in Portland on Monday. GET TO WORK BOOK™ is in production. Covers are being printed this week, insides next week and then a there will be few weeks of binding and they'll be out the door to be ca...
Better Lettering Course
I've been wanting to improve my hand-lettering for a while now and on my way over to my deployment I found a great course that I binge watched in one sitting. The Better Lettering Course is the brain child of Caroline of Made Vibrant. Kerry took the course too and... Continue reading

How to set a running goal & stay motivated
Hello there blog readers! I'm going to start this post off with a few disclaimers. I don't necessarily consider myself a "runner" but I have been running a lot lately. I've pretty much never reached any of my running goals in the past, but this one is different. I had... Continue reading

I just finished the Whole30 eating plan this week. I was worried about bread too, but I didn't crave it AT ALL. I even drank my coffee black. It's so worth it to treat our bodies to good food! I'm back to dairy, but I don't have much desire at all to go back to breads. Keep it up!!
New Art- Mistakes Are Proof That You Are Trying
"Mistakes Are Proof That You Are Trying" by Vol25 I'd like to say that I never have to remind myself of that... but I'm human and make my share of mistakes. Usually a little more so then not, and especially when stepping out of my comfort zone. Did I mention that my comfort zone is a very smal...
I ALWAYS pack in pouches. they're great especially with cords and stuff.
Packing Tips: Pack in Pouches
Last Sunday I missed my flight for the first time in years. I missed check-in by two minutes and it was a big one to miss. I'd been on a trip from Anaheim to Portland to Miami, then was coming home to Michigan for about 13 hours before getting on a plane to spend two weeks in NYC then go to th...
I would print photos and some artwork to decorate my walls
Win a Canon PIXMA MG7520 Photo Printer! (CLOSED)
We're super excited to be collaborating with Canon USA for another Black Friday giveaway!! This year we're giving away the PIXMA MG7520 photo printer. It really is the easiest photo printer I think we've ever used. It works right out of the box and can print our more mid-sized photo needs (up t...
I remember reading your initial post and I thought it sounded like an interesting idea. Then I listened to this podcast: http://jesslively.com/carolinerector/ (besides yours, I listen to this gal's podcast every week!) I was running on the treadmill as I was out of town for work and I thought: I NEED to try this.
I really need to eliminate more clothes to make room for my husband who moved in with me after we were married in January, That poor man is lacking some closet real-estate. I unsubscribed from my email lists as well and it has made a huge difference. The longer I have gone without shopping the easier it has become. I wear a uniform for both of my jobs and I used to justify shopping with "I wanna have fun stuff to wear since I wear a uniform all the time." The reality is that I DON'T need that many clothes because I wear uniforms ALL the time (hello military life!) You also probably know that uniforms in all types and assortments take up a lot of SPACE!
I've really been thinking about selling all the "extra clothes" I get rid of. Did you do this and do you have any tips for maybe selling extra stuff online. I have a TON of things that I maybe wore only once.
Anwho..... Thanks for sharing an update, I love to hear how people manage this wardrobe challenge.
capsule wardrobe update.
on me: dress (stripe version only sold in store), bag (mine is three years old and going strong, but this and this are similar), shoes, vest. on e: shoes Hello friends. May I please update you on the status of my wardrobe? IN SUM : OMG, best plan ever. I'm totally hooked, the end. For those of...
My fave is "I Mint It"
a party polish {giveaway}...(now closed)
Painted nails is one of my favorite weekly treats. It's such an easy thing to add to your routine for an extra pep of fun. I've been loving the nail polish by Ella+Mila which is vegan, has less chemicals than regular nail polish, and made to be safer for using with kids. So we've partnered wit...
I'm so excited for this. I can't wait to but a t-shirt or two!!
A brand new adventure- selling t-shirts and throw pillows
You guys, I have been horrible at blogging. I've worked on more big "projects" this year than ever... and clearly my blogging has suffered. Re-branding my entire digital shop, then launching the illustrated storyboards. Shortly after that we had that big fire that pretty much wiped out most of...
I really like both, but I think I'd like to try the half painted door in my house.
Elsie's Patterned Wall and Half-Painted Door (+ a $500 giveaway!!) (CLOSED)
Today I am super pumped to share a few peeks of my new office space! It's almost finished. I'll be sharing the full tour soon. But first, we've teamed up with Dutch Boy Paint to share two ways to add personality to a room with paint. Both techniques are relatively simple and quick (each a one-d...
So pretty! These were my wedding flowers, so I just love this print :)
New Science Poster- Anemone study
Vintage Inspired Science Poster- Anemone Study I have fallen in love with Anemone flowers. Particularly the white flowers with the dark purple-ish centers. I just think they are super pretty. From what I can tell, I don't think I would have very good luck growing them though. Boo to the hoo. H...
That fitbit bracelet is GENIUS! I've been wanting to get a fitbit, but they're just not that cute... this however is so pretty!!! Also, I'm curious about the size of the t-shirt you received. I'm usually an xs at jcrew, but sometimes their sizes can be weird and I'd want it to be a little baggie, but not too too big, ya know?!?!
thanks for some great links :)
weekend links / 34.
As part of my word WHOLE this year, I want celebrate the work of others by sharing links to my friends, possible friends and complete strangers who are doing great things on the Internet. This is some of the rad stuff I recently saw online... I was in a wedding last weekend and the bride gave ...
My faves are the blah blah phone case and the pen set!
a back-to-fun {giveaway} with ban.do...(now closed)
Just in time for going back-to-school (or back-to-fun!) Ban.do has some of the cutest desk and personal accessories around. To celebrate, we've partnered with Ban.do to give away eight of my favorite pieces to one lucky reader. This includes: ooh la la keychain, busy pencil case, blah blah the...
this is happening | jenn's life | aug 2014
Happy Labor Day! I was originally scheduled to be working, but I paid someone to take my days of work (this Flight Attendant gig is strange sometimes...paying someone to work for you?!?!?). The highlights from August were two Southwest trips, my check-ride at the Guard, landscaping at Tony's house we... Continue reading

I really enjoy your podcasts. I started listening on my long drives back anf forth between KY & NC, but I've recently switched to listening when I run. I LOVE listening to podcasts when I run now. It's so much more enjoyable than "zoning" out to music and if I listen to a longer one, I don't want to stop running so I can hear everything!
thoughts on the podcast so far.
I've been throwing up weekly podcast episodes for five months now and I am really enjoying this new-to-me medium. Today I wanted to share some observations and a bit of background about running the show. If you're curious how to actually launch a podcast, check out this post. Why podcasting? I...
Kerry's embroidery | Old Man and the Sea
Poor Kerry had to have hip surgery a couple of weeks ago. She's doing well recovering and her husband and family are taking good care of her. She hasn't been able to sit upright, so she has to lie down most of the time. So what's a crafty gal to... Continue reading

I would love a bunch of their stuff for my stepdaughter's room that we are re-doing. I would pick the sequin cat pillow and the bunny ears hand jewelry holder. I also really love that wonderful sign. Super fun!
a wonderfully glowing {giveaway}…now closed
I've been a fan of the styling and designer duo Emily & Meritt for some time now, so I loved seeing their newest collection with PBteen. The new Emily & Meritt for PBteen collection is full of the same whimsical and vintage details that they apply to their fashion styling work. And while the c...
Our DIY Asheville Wedding - Invitations
I hope you guys enjoyed checking out the Save the Dates. I used them as the jumping off point for the actual invitations. As I mentioned before I really loved how the mountains turned out and if you've ever been up to the Blue Ridge Mountains I think you'd agree... Continue reading

A fun app: Party Party
I've been having lots of fun lately with this new app from A Beatiful Mess called Party Party. You can make the most fun stop-motion videos and .gifs. Sometimes I download fun apps and then forget about them or I don't use them because it takes too long going through... Continue reading
