October Around The Web
Hello, friends! Between family obligations, weddings, and work October flew by. So while a bit delayed, here are a few of my favorites this month. First, I am SO excited to share that I am featured in Southern Weddings Magazine Volume 9! While it's official debut isn't until November 10th, the cover has been revealed. I'm thrilled at how the feature I contributed to turned out, and I'm eagerly awaiting being able to share more details!
One of my favorite reads this month, shared by the Intelligent Change Weekly Email
While Halloween has passed, I loved this DIY from Think.Make.Share. I can totally picture a Christmas version (or even Thanksgiving)
I baked my first ever pie this month! This recipe turned out perfectly.
This definitely gave me a few ideas for additions to my own pantry...
Miami looks like the perfect place for a girls trip!
Apple Cider is one of my favorite parts of Fall, and this Spiced Bourbon version looks delicious.
Loved the simplicity and beauty of these invitations.
Until next month, enjoy (and happy November)!

Creative Inspiration This Week
This week I was particularly inspired by two talks I listened to. Last Wednesday Meg Lewis visited Hallmark and spoke about her life, career, and work for happy companies. Take a peek at her work and the group of freelance designers she is a part of, Ghostly Ferns. I absolutely love when Hallmark brings in speakers, and couldn't help but jot down a few take-aways:
- Think about things you've been told are bad about yourself and how you can use those things to change the world.
- Maybe if I'm just nice to people I can change the world.
- I just want to make the world a little bit happier.
- Take a look at Grilli Type!!
This week I also listened to the latest episode of the Creative Pep Talk podcast by Andy J. Miller. This episode focused on "How to Prove Your Creative Genius." He talks about stacking the deck in your favor, and proving your creative value again and again. My favorite part of the whole podcast was when he said to not hide behind subjectivity. While creative work is subjective, it's important to put in the effort and slowly spiral upward as your work develops. Go listen!
Happy September!
It's hard to believe that Fall is upon us! Even though I'm not headed back to school I always find myself getting things organized this time of year. As a result I'm slowly updating my portfolio, and first up was adding some recent work I have done for Hallmark. Go take a peek, and enjoy this pointed pen oldie I came across!
