  • perfectly orange.

    I flew to California yesterday to spend a week with my parents for my bridal shower and birthday. Waiting for me was a package from j.crew with the little orange bag I ordered for the wedding. It’s small. Teeny-tiny in person. But it fits my phone & lipstick plus probably some bandaids & advil which is all…

  • on labels.

    I was asked a while ago in the comments where I buy the labels that I use in my projects. I want to share a few links and tips for finding labels. First, my favorite labels are by Paper Source, but sadly they have been discontinued. What is left can be found here. They are…

We are actually video chatting right now and the only way…

  • friday inspiration.

    I dropped Paul off this morning for nine hours of testing. My stomach had butterflies in it for him. I woke up at 3AM and 5AM worried that we had overslept. You would think it was me. I am so proud of him for all the studying he's put in. I know he is under…
