These days, we all spend so much money on beautiful photo cards. I hang them up on a couple of doors in our downstairs and love them! So why not keep them and display them each holiday season? That is exactly what I have been wanting to do for many, many years. I'm typically not a big saver...but every year, I struggle with tossing out those adorable photo cards!

Last January, a former co-worker of mine contacted me and asked if I could design her a cover for her booklet. That still didn't light a fire under me to do it for my own cards. What finally did? I was simply tired of picking them up every day. This year, my four year old daughter located the stack of 2013 cards that were "hidden" in a cabinet in our foyer. She loves looking through the photos and would happily toss the pile of 100+ cards all over our downstairs. "That's it. I'm making them into a booklet!" And so I did. I found some cute, scalloped chipboard covers and bought some book binder rings. I designed a cover using Photoshop and then printed, cut it out, and glued it on the cover. The hole-punching was the only time-consuming part...but even that only took about a half hour. So at the end of this season - do it! Take those gorgeous photos down and put them in a booklet. You'll love looking at them next year.

Oh my gosh...what a night! I can finally see table tops in my house again! The Pop Up Market at The Brick was incredible an evening filled with beautiful wares from local vendors & artisans. Being a rookie to all of this, as this was my first "show," I left at the end of the night feeling so very grateful for being able to have taken part in such a fabulous event! Thank you SO much to those of you who were able to make it out! It was so great to see so many of you! It's pretty amazing what you can do in a 10x10' space! Here's a peek at my booth!
