S1: E5 Bookmarks

-
I came across a Disney Family article that shared free printable Disney bookmarks. It had 8 adorable designs and I thought, hey, maybe I could do something like that.

During quarantine, a friend of mine started a virtual book club and we just finished our second book, "Stillness is the Key" by Ryan Holiday. (HIGHLY recommend it!) During our meetings we all share our thoughts, quotes, and what resonates with us. It was interesting to see when we all wrote down the same quotes we enjoyed.

Now, pause.

In this book club, I started it only knowing one person. There has been around 10 of us that have attended every meeting or so and we all live around the country. I know back in the day our parents told us to not talk to strangers on the internet, but this crew feels like anything but strangers. We have all connected and shared a lot, which has been perfect for this situation of isolation we have all found ourselves in for the past two months. So, if any of my book club peeps are reading this.. THANK YOU <3

Unpause.

Since I love this crew so much, I created my own printable bookmarks for them! I chose 3 quotes we all enjoyed; 

"Give more. Give what you didn't get. Love more. Drop the old story."

"No one is alone, in suffering or in joy."

"Build a life you don't need to escape from."








Together, they make a great little set. I had a watercolor painting I did back in college that I used for the background to unify them, but also made sure the quotes made them stand out. At the bottom, I cited the title and author, as well as threw in the new book club logo I made for fun! Sometimes you just have to push the envelope and design for FUN!

S2: E10 Let Go

I have always had a hard time with changes throughout my life. Even though it is the one constant thing to happen. But as I get older, I am realizing how much it is needed and I have been embracing it. Life would be boring if everything stayed the same. Imagine where we would be today if things didn't change and progress.  Two years ago, I was in need of a new car REAL BAD. My Ford Taurus was good to me for my first years of driving, and more. It got me here and there, but eventually, it was time for something different. Me being me, I felt bad having to get rid of it and thinking about all the good times driving my friends around and going to fun places. But it wasn't even safe to drive anymore... no power steering, the floor was rotted, my door wouldn't shut in the winter time, needless to say, I had very low standards when looking for a new one. Now I have my Nissan Sentra and I love it SO MUCH! There are so many new features that I didn't have before, and the overal...

S2: E9 Yogurt Cup

If you know me at all, then you probably know that my all time favorite show is Boy Meets World. Clearly, because my whole brand is even based off of it! One of my favorite moments in the show is when Eric and Cory go on a road trip together. What Cory doesn't know is that for Eric, this isn't just a trip. He decides he isn't going home afterwards. Along their travels though, they come across the World's Largest Yogurt Cup, which they must visit! There is even a Parade of Sprinkles that Cory checks out, but doesn't get the memo about wearing goggles to protect his eyes. 😂 (Images found on Google from the show, I do not own the rights to them - sharing for visual purpose) I feel I am a lot like Cory Matthews in many ways, but one being how I would be just as excited for this random iconic monument. My dream is to visit all 50 states and I would hope to find as many of the "World's Largest" things along the way! SADLY, this one was just made up for the ...

S3: E9 Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year

"Never apologize  for how you feel,  for how you hurt,  for how much you love." I'll be honest with you. I feel like I have been in a bit of a slump the past 2 months. Waves of loneliness, FOMO, fear in general, being different or having unique interests, the constant comparison and not being where I "should be" in life. All of it is valid, but this is MY YEAR.  In honor of my 30th back on January 19th, I decided to do something fun for myself on the 19th of every month this year - so far it's been a success! July is my "half-birthday" month and I thought it would be a good time to step back to appreciate all the good/positives that have happened since my birthday rather than get stuck in the slump. Being my own Valentine, throwing myself a party, seeing Hamilton... ...Grilled Cheese Weekend, Free Cone Day, a cute/confident outfit.... ...reuniting with friends, Crumbl Cookie adventures, Nostalgia Fair... ...Immersive Disney Experience, flowers from...
