LuLaRoe Elizabeth Gardner

Guys! I am like two weeks away from being a LuLaRoe consultant. What in the world is LuLaRoe?? you ask. And what is a consultant? you wonder. Well, let me give you the bullet version. LLR is a really rad clothing company. They produce clothing for all body types (size 0-24 and XXS to 3XL). They only print enough of each design for 1000 pieces, which means their stuff is all very unique. 

Being a consultant means that I will buy my inventory from them wholesale and then sell it. Basically, I will be my own boss. I will own my own business. I will sell online and at parties that people host. I will be in charge. 

It's nerve racking and exciting and terrifying and exhilarating, all at once.

And I can't wait! I'll be sure to keep you posted on how everything goes and will even let you know how to get into the group where I will be posting items for sale, if that's your jam. Until then, feast your eyes on these ridiculously gorgeous, exceptionally comfortable clothes!

Me Series 2016: February//March//April

 Hey! I haven't shared my Me Series page in like, forever. So why not do that today? I'm still loving this project... and the idea to use the same stamp//watercolors//color schemes for each month. Those elements tie the pages together and that's pretty cool. So here they are!

 

 I'm particularly excited about this layout. The watercoloring just turned out so cool! I was sort of experimenting with blending the colors and creating some sort of rainbow. Love it!

The background for March was made using the leftover egg dye we had...

So this is me, so far, and the pages I made about me. Things on the horizon: a big roller derby tournament (Beaver Fever) in Toronto, Canada. (That's right. I'm a pretty big deal. I skate internationally.) ;) Setting myself up to own my own company (What?! What did she just say? Bury the lead!) (Much more on this later.) Summer break with the kids (lord help me, baby Jesus, I can do this, I can do this, I can totally do this... sorry, sometimes life calls for a little pep talk.)

See you soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Citrus Twist Kits: May Pocket Life Kit

I'm back! I told you I'd be back! Today I'm sharing the projects I made using the May Citrus Twist Pocket Life and Embellishment kits. So here ya go! This spread includes the Pocket Life kit only...

This one has Pocket Life and Embellishment kit goodies...

I didn't have many photos from these two weeks in April so I went ahead and did one spread for both of them. I like the way that worked out. I might try it more often!

Here is a look at the full Pocket Life kit. You can order it here.

and here is the Embellishment kit.. You can buy that here.

and here is a little bonus project, because you know I can't help but use up every last bit of these kits..

SO thats that. I have an office full of projects and I'll share soon. I also just got done reading this awesome self help book and I am super motivated and excited to tell you about it. (I swear, it's not as lame as it sounds.) See you soon, my friends!

Messy Hair, Totally Cares

Whats up, ya'll? Long time no talk at! This happens when I have something very specific on my mind to write about but don't do it... well, I actually wrote a couple of really deep and honest blog posts but then wimped out and archived them. Soooooo. Here I am with a little surface, fun times, information instead... I changed my hair! (a sentence you will hear about 8 more times this year, I'm sure.)

When it's not filtered (as below) it looks indigo. Like right between able and purple. I LOVE it. I loved the purple too... especially when it was new and practically electric... but at least 6 other people I know have purple right now so I quickly itched to switch it up.

What do you think?! I'll be back soon with some projects to share. (Not sure I will find the cahonies to actually post my deep dark secret post.. but we shall see. You know I like to keep it real with you guys and this would be like, FOR REALZ.) But I will be back, for sure. Talk at you soon!

More and Less

 Hey there. I am slacking on the blogging thing. (as usual) So I thought I'd do a little update-a-rooni about what I hope to do more/less of in the coming month. The list is long (because I am nothing if not hard on myself) but here are just a few...

More veggies and clean, healthy eats...

Less of this sugary deliciously delightfully powerfully addictive junk I love so much...

More playing with the kids...like, really playing.

Less of them begging for stuff..

More dancing (always more dancing) (sometimes even on skates in front of a crowd.)...

Less of the falling stuff. (yep, that's me, falling on my @$$ in the center, ruining everything.)

More working on fairly low cost home decorating stuff...

Less adding things to that list and not crossing anything off.

More cutting myself a break. Less harsh self talk.

More self care. Less excuses.

More doing. Less planning.  

More energy. Less naps. ahhh, naps.

The list goes on.

What do you need more/less of in your life?
