Leave a little sparkle | Free Download

I have been teaching myself graphic design lately. It came about because I see so many beautiful graphics, and I wanted to know how they got that way. Mostly I've been working with text and some small PNG images. 

I'm going to try and provide at least one download every week as I continue to learn and create new designs! 

Today's is a beautiful desktop background! I'm obsessed with gold right now (perhaps because its one of my wedding colors but also because I see it popping up more and more everywhere!) so I thought this was an appropriate quote to go with the color. 

To download, just click on the image which will bring it up in a separate window. Then right click to save the image and set as your desktop background! 

Enjoy and Happy Friday! 


Styled! | Personal

The light this morning was beautiful and I had a bunch of free time so I pulled out some jewelry, perfume and my tulle skirt for a little styling! I received a beautiful old sewing table for Christmas, so I was excited to finally get it in front of my camera. The gorgeous white cake stand is from HomeGoods (I may or may not have an addiction to HomeGoods) which makes a great perfume holder and jewelry from the day. PS-Find the naughty kitten! Enjoy a little pretty this morning! 

Snow Day | Personal

The first real snow of any accumulation happened yesterday. And it was wonderful! It was also the first real snow in our new apartment (new doesn't really count, because we moved in May) and I was excited to get out and explore the paths around. That is the great thing about Columbia, there are something like 60 miles of paved pathways all around, just waiting to be found. We have a nice 2.5 mile loop very close to our apartment and walk that often. Yesterday morning I bundled up (yellow boots included of course) and went out to take pictures of the beautiful bridge that is part of the path. 

How did you spend your snow day?
