When creating before and after pictures, snazzy arrows add the perfect touch. My new favorite source for arrows is the LaGirouette font from FontSpace.
Here is an example of these arrows in action.
I guarantee you’ll be seeing more of these pointers!

This past summer Adam and I went on a road trip to my family farm. My great uncle currently leaves there and owns some peacocks. This is the original picture I took of one of his peacocks. It inspired the idea of showing your true colors and being your true self.
From that idea, I found this Dr. Seuss quote: “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” Isn’t it lovely?
I played with font types, font sizes, and font spacing. These are the resulting beauties.
The one above uses the free font Hero, and the one below uses the free font Metropolis.
I thought the font was too small so I made it bigger.
I also like the idea of the font being hard to read – like a mirage of thought.
I researched to find out which Seuss book this quote came from and it seems to be a mystery. Many sources site the quote (“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”) to Seuss, but there is a similar quote by Bernard Baruch which states “Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” Anyone have insight over this mystery?
Whatever the source, they are words to remember.

Without doing any research, I made-over a jewelry box for my niece. When I decided to post about that project, it made me curious to see what others have done with their own jewelry box projects. In my searching, I found a lot of beautiful ideas. Here is a roundup of the awesome ideas I have found.
So my craft room was literally pink and blue all over. That is how I inherited it, but I tried to make it better with a soothing blue. Well, that soothing blue didn’t have the drama I was looking for, so I went darker. If color is something you can lust for, I lust this color. It’s lavish and bold. It makes me swoon for my craft room!
I have a tiny room in my house. It is like a closet with its own closet. Keep in mind that my husband and I live in a house with four bedrooms. What do two people do with four bedrooms? Fill them with children? Well, we don’t have any (at least not yet). So we have our bedroom (1), our “SheekGeek” warehouse (2), our office (3), and this tiny room (4). This tiny room was destined to become my craft room, but it was not an easy journey.
