Hello Monday! January 20, 2014

-
I've always enjoyed reading Lisa Leonard's Hello Monday! posts, so today, I'm linking up my own. Will you join us by leaving your own hellos in the comments?

I'm trying to focus better on paying attention to small details and enjoying simple moments. This weekly post seems like a great way to do just that, and I'm going to try to take more pictures of daily life to go with it. I'm caught without a camera way too often...give me the bad blogger award!

So lets say hello to a few things today, shall we?

Hello warm sheets and down comforters. {Yes, that was plural.} It was hard to leave you this morning.

Hello visiting my uncle's cabin in the Maine woods.


Hello beautiful lake!

Hello to-do list. I'm working on being a better list-maker.

Hello new covering of snow. The trees are so pretty!

Hello brand new items in the So Sew Organized shop. I love coffee-themed accessories, don't you?

Hello free stuff. You can get this pouch free until the end of the month, just by purchasing the matching tote.

Hello to a new, temporary piano student. I'm excited about what other new things this week might hold!

What are you saying hello to this morning? Here's to a brand new day!

Some Friday Love: Recipe Binder Printable!

-

To celebrate this beautiful Friday evening (aren't Friday's just the best of days?) I have a FREE printable for you! I have to admit that I don't have a recipe binder, but a reader asked if I could make a printable to match the others for a recipe binder. If there is one thing I love, it is making printables that meet the needs of my readers! This blog would be pretty boring without you, so passing on some love in the way of printables is the least I can do! Anyway, back to the printable. How did I get on the sappy train? I really was not sure what all is included on a recipe binder page, but here is what I came up with: Then I thought that maybe there are some people out there that prefer to write teeny tiny and save space, and would like two recipes to a sheet. So I shrunk everything down and came up with this: Hopefully this will be a help! I could totally do a B&W version or size it for a half sized binder, if you prefer. After making these sheets, I began to see ...

"Frasier Island" Book Review and Giveaway!

Last month I spoke at a Christian Writer's Conference and met beautiful authors such as Susan Page Davis. I recently read her book, Frasier Island , and I am so excited to tell you about it! It is easy to tell when you've got your hands on a good book, and friends, this is a good book . It is full of mystery and intrigue, unexpected twists and plots, and just enough romance woven through to make it not over-the-top-lovey-dovey.

George Hudson are running from their past...and ultimately towards each other. While guarding a highly classified secret for the US Government, Rachel comes to realize the importance of letting God have His rightful place in her life. It is rare for a woman to be pu...

Quick Tip Tuesday: Facebook. Just Stop.

I have to say, I never, ever thought I'd be writing this post. But here we go. The goal of these quick tips is to simplify. Because really, isn't that the goal of every organizing project? We find a system that isn't working - something that aggravates our daily routine, and frankly, aggravates us! And we tear it apart and make an even bigger mess than before so we can find a better system that simplifies life. These quick projects do the same thing, with the added benefit of being, well, quick! These are quick fixes that take little or no time but have a big impact. Today's quick tip? Just stop with all the Facebook. Now hear me out. I am not getting rid of Facebook. It is one of the main ways I communicate with not only my immediate family in Canada, but my extended family and close friends that live all across the globe. And one day I realized...I'm spending a lot of time on Facebook NOT doing those things. Instead, I was scrolling through a lot of ...
