How Will You Resolve This Year?
As the New Year begins, the Christmas tree and its accomplices were swiftly put away as quickly as they were put up. There are minor remnants of red tinsel lurking on the steps, resting under foyer rugs and even finding refuge on the dog. These glistening reminders shimmer boldly in protest as if refusing to believe the holidays are long gone. As I walk by them I hear their faint sounds of peace, love and joy. Unapologetically I reach down, pick them up and toss them out – grinning all the while about the new and exiting year ahead.

Shop Local!
As I prepare to jot down a holiday shopping list for my people this season I am cheering on my fellow handmade artisans. I’m eyeing up my local boutiques and their cute store fronts they will spend a lot of time preparing for the holidays. We have all witnessed small businesses come and go as they may get swallowed up by big box and same day shipping. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many handmade artisans and have experienced getting to know them and their wares. Although I’d LOVE to showcase everyone in this blog, I’m focusing on some handmade goods that I’ve purchased in the last couple of years. Find out who I’ve connected with and who I smile about every time I use their handmade item. I may just sneak in an item of mine for that hard to buy for gal….

July can also be a time of needing a little kick start to get us over our creative summer hump. Find out how Bound to be Creative can help unleash your creative beast.

Dear Diary: New
Patient Blooms
Let’s get our hands dirty in the white Minnesota snow with natural winter beauty and blooming bulbs (and I’m not talking about the burned out bathroom bulbs). As winter interest has a place in my home so in my home has it been an interesting winter. Read on to see just a slice of my recent life through the eyes of an apple seed (or two) – it may just be what the doctor ordered.

Valentine’s Day Printable!
Let’s get V-day crafty! Sooo, it’s that time of year again when all the reds, purples, whites, pinks (blah, blah, blah) colors make their abrupt appearance onto my tables (notice ‘tables’ is plural?). Ahhh, yes, crafty love is in the air – and the table and floor and on doors and in the living room and windows…at least at my house anyways.
