I am finally posting my first collection at American Crafts that I designed with a small team of amazing designers. At AC I design crafting materials for scrapbookers and diy crafters and everything in-between. I had the chance to work with Shimelle Laine, hospital who is one of the sweetest people to work with. She has a quirky fun personality and does classic style of crafting. She likes vintage and was inspired by retro colors and icons. Here is an overall feel of the collection, purchase everything from stickers to paper to the worlds cutest tape dispenser made out of wood! There are 48 total patterns but I just posted some of my favorites. I will be doing giveaways and showing you a bit more of this collection throughout. These products should be available for purchase at  Walmart or any craft store online.

I am building my first home! It is so exciting but so scary, I know I will make mistakes and do things that I may not love so I have just decided to embrace it. Because it is our first home I don’t have any experience building and therefore I am asking everyone for advice. If you have any, feel free to share cause I need all that I can get.

In making decisions, I of course turn to pinterest and then I am overwhelmed! Haha but I have managed to start sorting things into color palettes and styles that I would like to use. You will be seeing a bunch from me in the next few months. I loved this particular one because it is deep and moody but very clean and totally me. I have noticed that contrast is an important point in decor. Everything has been white for so long, and that is what I love, but the dark contrasting accent walls and decor are making their way back into interior design. I am going to do a charcoal accent wall amongst my white walls to bring some simple drama to our home.
