You might have noticed my lack of blog posts this week, my lack of Instagram snaps throughout the week, and pretty much lack of everything. I took Monday off to spend time with some lady friends strolling through downtown and eating gelato, and come Tuesday, I started feeling rather funny. Come Wednesday, I woke up at 6:30 in the morning feeling awful. So I ended up sleeping the whole day away. I do feel better today, but not 100%. So in the meantime, I’ll take the rest of the week off but I’ll try to get back into routine by next week. I have some exciting things to share with you! And just to post something pretty, here’s a round up of my favorites Instagram snaps over the month of March. I’m so ready for you, April!

As you might have noticed, I took an impromptu week off from blogging (and working, really). My husband got the flu so I chose to cuddle and be lazy with him instead for the first half of the week. Then he went off on a work trip for a couple days and I spent the rest of the week with my family. But I did manage to do a few things. The fun things of course.

1   I reorganized my studio in the beginning of the week. I’m scared to tell you how messy it can get while I’m working on a project.

2   I announced via Instagram that my rubber stamps now come with wooden handles (except for the teeny tiny stamps). Oh yeah! I’ll probably do a blog post soon on their new look.

3   I bought a new doodle journal and am brainstorming some cool new things! A have a crazy cool collaboration with a friend of mine coming soon and a new collection of cards/stationery.

4   The only work-work I did this week was make this custom garland. Now I just have to wait for it to dry before I do the more fun part — package it up!

My good friend, Angela, just launched her new brand late last week and I couldn’t be more thrilled for her! (Screenshot of her new logo + website above.) She is one talented photographer and I feel like you all need to know about her too. We were pretty much “set up” to be pals by a mutual friend and I’m so glad to have been nudged her way because she is one of the sweetest gals I know. We have known each other for less than a year and it feels like we’ve been friends for years already.

I’m sharing just a few of my favorite photos here on the blog that she’s captured over the last year, but I really encourage you to head on over to her new site to see more. And you just might find photos from our latest styled shoot on her blog (yes, totally take that as a hint to go see what I’m talking about!).
