week 17 [planner decoration]

This week I decided to use the first washi I ever purchased.  The elephant washi.  I purchased it from Office Depot for like 29 cents a year ago.  I haven't really used it much, and I'm trying to use stuff that isn't in my regular rotation. Not a lot to talk about this week.  The 22nd was the anni…

a blog, a playlist [april 2015]

This month I've absolutely been relying on hip hop & rap to keep me moving.  April is kind of a bad month for me, and I tend to be in a funk.  My mother got sick in April of 2000 and passed away 4/22/00.  Not to go into too much here but my Aunt & Uncle were in a car wreck coming home from my mother&#…

week 16 [planner decoration]

I was seriously in love with the way this week's decoration came together.  There's just something about beautiful planner pages that makes me happy.  It was a good week, haha!  The previous week I hated [ which is why you didn't see it ].  It annoyed me every time I opened my planner to the week 15 …

adorn your android [april 2015]

If you're like me, you never know when creativity will strike.  It helps to keep a little notebook on you for moments like this, but sometimes all you have is your phone.  I found a really awesome app that is great for brain dumping. It's called SimpleMind Free [there's a paid version as well] an…

march 2015 favorites

It's been a few months since I've done a favorites post, so I thought it was time to do one.  I've been lucky to be incredibly busy with etsy orders and other endeavours that I hadn't put much thought into a favorites posts for awhile.  Not complaining one bit, I love it!  Thank you all for keepin…

week 14 [planner decoration]

Here's Week 14 in my Limelife planner .  I'm a tad behind on planner posts, I'll share why a little later... This week I used Dollar Tree Easter Washi tape, my Sweet Stamp Shop stamps, Versa Magic Chalk Ink, Limelife Planner stickers, Heidi Swapp stickers, and more.  I'll list details below. …

we're NOT morning people...

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BiteHungerBack #CollectiveBias I've NEVER been a morning person.  My teenage son has definitely taken after me.  Mornings are the worst.  He's sleepy and doesn't get up until the very las…

week 13 2015 [planner decoration]

This week was all about Spring!  It was also a very busy week!  My son has his Junior prom on Saturday [notice the sticker].  I spent most of the week playing catch up on stuff that was put on hold due to dad's accident the week before.  Not a lot of decorating happened, as I needed all the space for my many…
