Lets Make a Mess
I have an exciting announcement that I’ve shared on Instagram, but I’m just now sharing here on my blog. I’ve started contributing for Oriental Trading Company’s blog.

So when this month’s Michael’s Makers Challenge was to try something new, I knew I wanted to attempt to make candles. It’s funny because for last month’s challenge, I made an ombre candle holder and this month I made DIY ombre candles. It was actually quite an adventure. Making candles was actually
If you follow along on Instagram, you probably heard that I’ve started a new newsletter. Instead of automatically sending out email updates to subscribers when a new post is published, I’ve started gathering together all of the posts and updates of the week into one fun email. Plus, each and every week the newsletter will include a brand new free iPhone wallpaper download that you can use as a backdrop
