I'm sitting here pinning beautiful, dreamy Valentine's Day inspired things today.

My mind is constantly racing with ideas, inspiration, colors, textures and about a million other things.  All of you can relate to that right? I hope...

Part of the reason why I started blogging was to connect with wonderful people and potentially help them in some way if I could.

So my amazingly talented, nice, stylish, handsome, saintly artist friend Caleb Jacks always does the coolest sketch series depending on the month or holiday season. (You might recognize him from us sharing a booth at the Deep Ellum Outdoor Market in November.) For October her participated in an  "#Inktober" challenge where he drew a fun piece every day using only ink and he did a series of Christmas...

*This post contains affiliates links. I will receive compensation from any orders / purchases made. ModCloth's huge final clearance event is one of few things in the retail world that I watch for. I'm quite conservative when it comes to splurging on clothing. (How do you think I got started with thrifting and vintage?!) So when the opportunity comes to snag their beautiful pieces at 70% off, I'm...

So technically we are in week 7? I decided to take off from this post during the holidays because I really wanted to allow myself to be carefree. Besides, what's more depressing than dwelling on every cookie or tamale you ate? (Yes, we make tamales at Christmas!) Truth be told, I didn't worry about much at all apart from organizing my life.

This past year was a HUGE year for growth, especially in terms of stepping out of my comfort zone and JUST DOING things.  Here's the highlights of the...
