Sneak Peeks

The next ten days are going to be intense. I’m making my final push to finish the photography and projects for the book (as well as tweaking some of the tutorials.)  I did have a very productive day, so I am feeling like I’m in a pretty good place, but I do have to squeeze as much as I can into every minute.  I think I definitely will need a massage when it’s all done and maybe a full day in bed watching movies.

I can’t show what I’m working on, but I can show a few sneak peeks…

 

 

…and my house is a mess.

 

 

Mini is helping to keep me straight, though.  She even cleaned out my van today, since it was a disaster.

Despite the stress and the hard work, I’m really enjoying this process and I’m learning so much about what I would do differently if I ever write another book.

If you need a smile, visit my Facebook page and read through the improptu meeting of the “I’m me and I’m awesome” club.  Some very awesome ladies shared a little bit about themselves and you can’t help but smile at all of the awesomeness.  You’re welcome to join in as well.

Move Slow & Make Things x An Acre of Land Giveaway

I was meandering through Instagram one day and came across An Acre of Land.  I was immediately drawn to the photography, the styling, and the layers of feminine, generously gathered skirts.  I pressed the follow button.  For months, maybe even years, I would admire the clothes, which are just my
