Handmade Happiness

Embellished happiness.

I'm truly beginning to love this term.

When I first began my life as a crafter I was quite sparse with the extra little pretties. I enjoyed letting the main focal point of my work be nearly all of my piece. As time passed I became a bit braver and more eccentric. Instead of saving my treasures for that "special someday" project; I began wanting to use every little bit and bob that I had. 

I've found so much true joy from creating.

Handmade has become a part of who I am.

And anything that I can customize with embellishments brings happiness to unexpected places.

My Filofax art planner and my pink Moleskine journal are two of my daily favorite places to create, embellish, and pour my thoughts into. The pages are full of images that make me smile, favorite memories caught on camera, and powerful thoughts that overload my mind and fuel my imagination. I treasure these little books.

Don't hold back. Create something today that will inspire and move your soul. Use your pretties and enjoy the process. Keepsakes journals or planners are a great way to start. All you need is a bit of paper and some imagination.

Willow Digital Stamp And A Little Candy

Hello everyone,

I've been in such a bloggy mood recently. Everyday I've had an urge to share online. It's really been bothering me that I haven't taken the time to share; so this is my new goal, to communicate and share more often. Even on days when I don't have a new digi. Art, crafts, new goodies, and life in general...I can't wait. I hope you guys enjoy catching my latest news in the days and weeks to come.

What's in store for today? Well, I have a new digi; lol, I know. I just went through that whole spill to post another digital stamp. Hope you guys still love me anyways.

But if you make it to the bottom of the post I'll also be having a little mini candy giveaway.

This Cutie is Willow. She's my latest, up all night and can't sleep, creation.

I love Halloween, and I wanted to start the season off right with an adorable little witch.
