Have you ever sat back and thought about the parts of your job that you really love? It may be the reason why you went into that profession or it may be things you realized about it, once you were in it. Even if your job is not your dream, if you are doing it day in and day out, and it takes a chunk of your day and life, I hope there is SOMETHING you love about it. Recently, a friend asked me what I love about what I do. Without even having to think about it...I knew. I love Continue Reading
Beauty in the Unexpected
Isn't it fun when something unplanned catches your eye? I think there is beauty in the unexpected. The other week I showed you how I made these messy painted journals.

Homeright Paintstick Ez-Twist Paint Roller
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Homeright, but all opinions are mine. Matt went out-of-town this week. He had a quick business trip, and I had a chance to get into his office and paint it. We share this office as it houses both of our computers.
