August Around The Web

August 30, 2016

Hello, friends! As another month ends I've once again gathered up some of my favorite finds around the web. One of my absolute favorite DIYs was this lovely Cursive Word Balloon backdrop by Oh Happy Day. They are one of my favorite sites to browse, and I'm hoping I will have a chance to host a party soon where I can try out one of their backdrop ideas!

Albeit trendy, this studio space is airy, bright and beautiful.
A lovely Austin, Texas home tour. I've had home decor on the brain this month.
This DIY is perfect for back-to-school!
Dreaming of this bedding...
One of my favorite Pinterest recipes I tried this month.
Like I mentioned last month, I will be participating in a macrame workshop in September so I'm still on the hunt for inspiration. I was wowed by this piece.
These beautiful Ukrainian flower crowns are a must-see.
This colorful party inspiration was one of my favorite Think.Make.Share. blog posts this month!

I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

July Think.Make.Share. Posts

July 25, 2016

July has been a crazy month full of wonderful travel adventures (LOTS of photos coming soon!), but I wanted to be sure to document two posts I was a part of on the Think.Make.Share. blog. I created a post all about making a road trip clipboard for kids, and I also participated in an embroidery hoop baby mobile workshop! Take a peek at both full posts over on Think.Make.Share.

Go Blog Social – St. Louis

May 14, 2016

Today I attended Go Blog Social's St. Louis conference! The event took place in the beautiful Lumen Private Event Space and featured a full day of speakers and hands on opportunity to connect with other bloggers and business owners. I attended with my sister Sophie and we especially enjoyed, Julie Blanner's, talk on relationships with brands, the two discussion panels with local and out of town bloggers, and making flower crowns with Snapdragon Studio! Here are a few photos and takeaways:

Be persistent, but very polite (when working with brands).
Research and personalization for pitches is important.
Produce high-quality photos and content.
If you are persistent, luck has a way of finding you.
Analyze your life and present environment; reinterpret to share with the world in a distinct way.
Editing is vital, find good mentors to help with this process.
Focus on the social media platforms you are most passionate about.

We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast and lunch by 23 City Blocks Catering! I especially loved the Olive Gelato (served in a frozen tomato) which is pictured below. Thanks, Go Blog Social, for a day full of learning/connecting with wonderful people and brands!
