#NaBloPoMo – Buy this one.
While I love to make things when I can, there are few things in life that I feel better about buying. For example: I will never make my own taxidermy pieces. I just don’t have the skill set for that. Though I think one or two well placed pieces would look great in my…

Read MoreWhat inspires you?
I’ve been keeping track of the things that inspire me for quite a while now. I like to keep track of great ideas and tutorials for crafts, interior decorating ideas, design and infographics, fashion and a whole lot more.
