October Travelers Notebook - Part One

Hello! Today I wanted to share a few pages of the Travelers Notebook I am dedicating to all things October. It's one of my favorite months, full of lots of things I'd like to remember. One of the best things about working in this format is there's no 'pressure'. It's small and much more casual than a big scrapbook so I feel free to just add a few things here or there... If you are interested in learning more about travelers notebooks as a form of memory keeping, I'm working on a few blog posts coming soon! Or you can see what I have saved on Pinterest HERE . I made this notebook myself (I sell similar ones in my shop HERE ). Into the usual white pages I added two sheets of patterned paper from my stash. I stitch my notebooks all together on my sewing machine. Here's my notebook so far... For this spread I got pictures of my family off FB and printed them as 3.5" squares. I love that I get a peek of what they are doing eve

Trying Something New

This post could also be subtitled Michelle does not need a new hobby. But she has one. When was the last time you learned a new skill? I have been a maker/DIYer/tinkerer for as long as I can remember. Over the years I have gravitated towards certain mediums and gotten pretty good at them (paper, fabric and ink). I have dabbled in a few things that frustrated me because it didn't come easy (sculpture, jewelry making, ahem tennis ) Guys I get OFFENDED when I start something and I am not naturally good at it. It's a patience thing. A confidence thing. Not necessarily a good thing. Can you relate? Learning a new skill can be so rewarding! Using those parts of your body or your brain that are dormant can be such a high. Picture a crossfitter who works out like crazy for three months and can FINALLY turn over a huge tire (or climb a wall, or whatever crazy things cross fitters endeavor to achieve). That's an amazing feeling! Not that I would know about flipping over

Freebie Happy Mail

Hey friends, how are you doing? That is a loaded question this month, isn't it? Like many of you I have been trying to follow the news, stay healthy, do my job, keep my connections (friends and family)....all while trying to NOT to panic and feel a bit helpless. It is a LOT. Like many of you, I have craved a way to connect to my loved ones in this new way of 'social distancing'. For me that includes: Facebook, Facetime, and good old fashioned HAPPY MAIL . Many years ago my shop sold only handmade cards and stationery. I created the hastag #happymailisthebestmail on IG just celebrate the joys of snail mail. I still send a lot of cards in the mail - birthdays, holidays, just because - it's my favorite way to show my loved ones I am thinking about them. What better time than RIGHT NOW to send a card to someone you love? All you need is a pen, a stamp and a little time (and we all have a little more time at home, don't we?). Over the weekend I created a set of pr
