We're Goin' to Texas!

Hello, friends! My honey and I are leaving tomorrow on a trip down South to visit family for the holiday. We're so excited about hanging out with great people and getting out of the house for the weekend. I intend to take plenty of photos during this brief getaway, because that's just how I roll. So maybe I'll have some picture love when I return. ♥

While I'm away, here's a little peak at the things I've created in recent craft sessions.



Vintage Button Hairpins made from a bag of buttons I bought while setting up an estate sale. AND they inspired the next idea:



Handmade Buttons! I made these from various colors of polymer clay. I had a great time with them too- I ended up making a ton of them and even altering a little box to display them in.



What's your current inspiration?

I love the buttons! Such a great idea and I can totally see that doing awesome. Good luck! Have a great trip this weekend! We're having an lovely time so far, I took of Friday and have just been working on the invite biz and hanging out and sleeping in.. Ahh! Can't wait to make this my full time life one day ;)

My inspiration are my clients! I have a hard time making awesome invitation sets when I'm my only muse. I love putting myself in someone else's shoes and creating something awesome I know they will love.
