Y’all, I finally have a crafty space that I absolutely love! While my entire space is still a work in progress, my desk set up is pretty much complete to how I want it at the moment. And rather than waiting until I’ve painted my room, hung my gallery wall, etc. to do a full craftspace tour, I’ve decided to give you a little peak at my desk specifically with…

favorite shop spotlight: lace & whimsy
Read moreIt is no surprise that Lace & Whimsy is one of my favorite sticker shops around. The little online shop is run by Kathy D. Clark and it offers up a mixture of lovely stationery items like stickers, die cuts, and other paper accessories, along with prints of Kathy’s own illustrations and her original enamel pins. The Lace & Whimsy style is magical. It combines Kathy’s own delicate and fun…

the magic of beginnings
Read moreIt’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings. — Meister Eckhart What makes beginnings so magical? Is it the excitement of trying something new? Or the anticipation of whats to come? What if you’ve already done this thing and are starting over? Is that equally as exciting? Is it different? I honestly have not a damn clue what makes beginnings so freaking magical, exciting, and wonderful.…

eight of my favorite art journaling classes
Read moreI honestly have been compiling this list for awhile now. Since I share some free art journaling classes and resources, to be exact. I think because so many of these classes are no longer available, I thought what was the point in sharing them, you know? Well, as luck would have it, most of them are currently available, some only for a limited time, so I decided to share with you…

her
Read moreThis is “Her.” I’ve been meaning to film an original song video for this song for awhile now to put up on my Youtube channel, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I did however, record a ruff cut of it on Garageband, so I figure I’d share that since it’s been sitting on my laptop for months now. It’s a snippet of a song, but I hope…

wanderlust ep
Read moreSo if you remember (or if you’re new to my site), I write music. I suppose that makes me a real singer-songwriter. I have a song up on all of the major music outlets (iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, etc.) You can also find it on my Youtube channel. Anyway, I recently shared a bit more of my music over on my music site, but I wanted to share it with…

when the stars go blue | ryan adams cover
Read more Hey everyone! I’m back again with another cover song, this time “When The Stars Go Blue” by Ryan Adams. The first time I heard this song was while watching Bethany Joy sing it in One Tree Hill with Tyler Hilton. I loved that version but I also love Ryan’s original as well. I find that when I play it, it’s a mixture of the two versions. I really hope…

because i can | katy rose cover
Read moreHey everyone! This year, I wanted to expand my Youtube channel and begin posting some cover songs as well as original songs again after such a long time. I’m not sure how well they are going to be received by you all, especially those of you in my journaling/crafting community, but I decided to start posting them anyway. This first song is a cover of Katy Rose’s “Because I Can.”…

unraveling 2018
Read moreIt’s that time of the year again. That time when I sit down and fill out my 2018 Unravel Your Year workbook from Susannah Conway and think about all of my intentions for the new year. This new year, I really want to simplify my life and focus on specific things that I want to get done and happen. I just feel like I took on too much this year and was sort…

on never growing up
Read moreI am a firm believer that we never truly “grow up” as people. Yes we get older and yes we take on more responsibilities, but does that mean we are really “grown up?” I guess being in my twenties, I’m forever stuck in that “you’re an adult now!” “no, not really” stage of my life. I’m not married nor do I have any kids of my own. I manage my own…

In three days, I will be headed down to Orlando to spend a week with a friend at “the happiest place on earth.” I absolutely love Disney World. It’s like my favorite place. Seriously, I get so excited every time I go back. I’m like a kid in a candy shop. This particular trip is even more…
