August Around The Web

Friends the end of August is already here! Time is still moving both fast and slow but overall this was a pretty good month: work was busy and I even had a chance to stop by my desk to pick up a few things, Dale spent the month working from home (I wasn’t alone!!) and we tackled lots of house projects! In the past few weeks we stained our deck, repainted our bedroom, and finally invested in a dehumidifier for our basement. I got to spend time at the pool, finally had an outdoor happy hour with some work friends I hadn’t seen in months, and made a trip to the lake. Life is adapting to the circumstances and I’m super grateful for my home & family!

  • Around the web this month, Jessica shared how her daughter inspired this new mirror acrylic lettering and it reminded me of my mirror acrylic sign I made a few years ago! Otto unfortunately broke it but would love to get one of Jessica’s.

  • I know I already mentioned that we painted our bedroom this month, but really we painted it twice… in the same week. I got inspired by these moody color palettes and ended up hating what we choose. Take two worked out though!

  • I’m ordering this print for above our bed! And thinking about trying Framebridge, has anyone used them before?

  • My boss shared this last week, it is helpful if you need some background noise!

  • Hoping to get my hands on some old family photos to test out this website!

  • As Summer comes to a close I might need to test this recipe out soon…

  • Save the #USPS

  • And with September right around the corner I’m most excited for Dale and I to take a quick road trip to Colorado! i can’t wait to spend lots of time outside and have a few days away from home!

See you soon, fall!

Happy Wednesday, friends! This week is a big one — I will be writing an entire post soon, but for now I'm just popping in to share this laser-cut acrylic mirror version of my name. I created this awhile ago, but wanted to make sure I had it documented here on the blog. I've also been experimenting with this same material for fun project at work, the possibilities are endless when you have access to a laser machine! I hope your week has been wonderful so far!
