I'm Having A Giveaway!!

Its been a while since I've hosted a giveaway on my blog. And since I've recently updated my Etsy Shop with some new products, I thought I'd give one lucky person a set of my new Scout Badges!

To enter, leave me a comment telling me what your favorite holiday tradition is! (Mine is decorating my home with handmade paper snowflakes!)

The winner will be announced next TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd at 12:00PM
Good Luck!

Mood Monday: The Color Black

If you haven't already guessed, I LOVE bright colors. Bright colors lighten my mood and awaken my youthful spirit. But there are those rare times I find myself drawn to darkness. Having been stuck in bed with strep throat these last few days has made me gravitate into the dark. That may sound a little eery, but I've literally been stuck in my dark basement bedroom for three days! Darkness for me can feel calming. It blocks out distractions and forces me to just let my body rest, heal, and reenergize. That said, as I've surfed across the blogosphere, I've found a lot of black inspiration to share...
