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

Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop- Holiday Song Gift Tags

Ho-Ho-Ho friends! Thanks for hopping by for my stop on the Lawnscaping Holiday Blog Hop ! This is my little corner of the internet and I hope you decide to come back sometime. I blog about: DIY's , paper crafts , and everyday life . I recently started blogging about my adventures in Bathroom Remodeling . Today I want to share a set of tags I made to use on gifts for Christmas. Truth be told, I tend to buy stamps that I think are versatile as instead of occasion specific. I don't have many Christmas or winter themed stamps. However, I've this idea stewing to make gift tags with song lyrics on them, and I pulled out a couple of my favorite LF stamps to make it happen! Supplies: American Crafts cardstock , stamps: Claire's ABC and Blissful Botanicals , Black Staz On ink , Martha Stewart micorbbead glitter , Ranger Glossy Accents , various markers from my stash, sequins from my stash. I used the flower and vine from Blissful Botanicals and colored the
