I loved having the chance to decorate a few envelopes for Think.Make.Share. this holiday season! Head on over to the blog to find some great tips for making your Christmas card list this year and join to in on their Christmas Card Challenge. I’m working on my cards for this year, fingers crossed I can get them in the mail in time!

This time of year is the perfect time to send some snail mail and connect with those you love, especially friends and family who live far away. I loved creating this lettering for Think.Make.Share!
Hello, friends! The spookiest time of year has arrived and I’ve been busy baking pumpkin muffins and watching the new Sabrina The Teenage Witch on Netflix. This month I traveled to Cincinnati for work, fit in a trip to the Louisberg Cider Mill, celebrated Dale’s 27th birthday with Brew at the Zoo, Mexican food, and a family pizza dinner, and I’m gearing up for the first Halloween in our new house. I’m really curious whether we will have lots of trick or treaters or not! Here are some of my favorite finds around the web this month:
I was super inspired by this rental home transformation!
This Moroccan Chicken Soup has been perfect in the colder weather.
Bri’s art direction is just stunning!
Anyone who knows me well knows this costume is right up my alley…
Love the idea of Moorea Seal’s newest book 52 Lists for Togetherness
In case you need a last minute Halloween cake idea
My second favorite Halloween costume this year
We also tried this gnocchi recipe this month!
I’m definitely not a maximalist but I really enjoyed this home tour
Halloween is right around the corner and I have gathered some of my favorite inspiration for this spooky season! I’ve never thought of adding so many peachy shades into a Halloween palette, but I think it’s a nice way to mix things up from the traditional black and orange. Happy decorating!
Fall is upon us! September has been one of the most relaxing months I have had in awhile, and other than Dale working nights for a few weeks was really wonderful. This month I spent time with friends, attended Made in the Middle, shopped at Hallmarket, and went to the Plaza Art Fair. It felt great to wrap up our Europe photo book and GoPro video and I’ve done lots of yard work! I never knew getting grass seed going could feel so satisfying. Here are a few of my favorite finds this month:
Lately I’ve been fascinated by unique installments at events. I loved the one above which is from an event Geneva from A Pair & A Spare attended.
I’ve been in the mood for some new projects, maybe sewing these pants is up next?
With the onset of pumpkin everything I couldn’t help but try out this pumpkin muffin recipe.
The most beautiful space to get a facial.
Some great lettering inspiration. I love these roundups.
Serial has returned, but I would love to watch some of these crime documentaries too!
I discovered Ashley Fox this month, her floral designs are stunning.
I’m getting excited (really early) to decorate my house for Christmas. Maybe I need these stockings?
Some unique balloon arch ideas.
Always obsessed with flower arranging ideas, especially from Think.Make.Share.
I had the opportunity to help paint this amazing mural at a local elementary school close to Hallmark! Lynn Giunta, Barb Mizik, and Livy long had the idea to paint a mural somewhere in the community and Livy designed the mural based off the ideas of the fifth graders at the school. Lots of us were then able to help bring the mural to life! Take a look at the time lapse Hallmark's Union Hill Studio captured over the few days of painting and learn more about the project over on Think.Make.Share.
