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. For two creative people, this office has been really boring. It needed life. I got to learn a little about Homeright and their products at Haven this year. I was so excited when they asked if I would want to review one of their Continue Reading

If you have been (or know of anyone who Continue Reading
Tips for Creating a Growth Ruler

I contemplated in my mind switching it out and bringing it, but I decided that would be too much work. Before we moved, we took our last measurements, lot of pictures, and wrote down the measurements to transfer to a new growth ruler. I finally set out to do this project, and of course I thought I Continue Reading
Finidng Inspiration & Using It
What is inspiring you these days? Are there certain aspects of life and art that are sticking out to you?
