Looking to update your home office or workspace with some unique office supplies? Its been awhile since I've shared one of my new office supply collections! 

 I started the year creating a lot of new office supply collections for my Zazzle store, and I think these turned out so pretty! 

I shared the owl design as an embroidery pattern last week, and promised to showcase some of the office products. I absolutely love drawing new motifs to turn into collections for home offices.

I mean, that's what is wonderful about working from home right? The ability to have unique and personalized office supplies? Make everything all matchy-matchy if you want? ​

Awhile back, I shared our pantry/utility room DIY makeover. While that project was definitely something I had always wanted to get done, it wasn't the first room on my list. 

We ended up starting there because it was a necessity. What I really, really wanted to redo was my horrible, ugly, impractical kitchen. 

Hiya! So...about this winter thing. Its cold. And kinda dreary. 

It is however an awesome time to explore creativity and new projects. I like to make as much stuff as possible during the winter months, since I know I won't have as much time when summer rolls around. 

Recently, I just finished creating a new office supply collection on Zazzle featuring an owl motif I illustrated. (I'll be post about that next!)
​

So I've meant to do a "What's in My Bag" post for ages. Not because there is anything interesting in my bag, but because its that one fun post prompt that shows up on nearly every list. 

I've never gotten around to it because, well...there isn't usually anything interesting in my bag! 

But, for Christmas this year my parents surprised me with a gorgeous sugar skull purse in my favorite shade of teal. 

So I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July? 

And you didn't get set on fire? 

I'm only asking because, ya know...we did. 

​We've sort of made a family tradition of going to the a nearby lake, where they host a free fireworks display every year. ​

So this year I let my kids talk me into adopting a dog. 

I'm not what you would call a "dog person". I like dogs okay, but the ones that steal my heart have to be a very special kind of dog. 

(Please give me all the cats though!) 

I've put off adding a dog to our family this long because I knew it would mean a lot more rules--both for people and pets.
