Be Your Own Designer Tip of the Week: If it's out, make it lovely

Here is a tip shared at the recent De-stress De-junk De-clutter workshop Alana taught in TX.  Whatever you use every single day can be out on the counters, but how do you make it look better? Listen to this week's tip on how to display what you use every day so it is practical as well as beautiful.  You'll hear three ways to delightfully display your items used daily.

Good News of the Week: Paying it Forward, one slice of pizza at a time

Rosa's Pizza customers pay it forward by prepaying $1 so someone in need can have a pizza slice.  Every one of those post-it's is a prepaid slice.  Almost 10,000 pizza slices have been given out to date.  We love this. #BeTheChange #PayItForward #WhenYouGetGive #GoodNews

Alicia Montgomery: Barrel Racer and Beautiful Jewelry Creator 

Meet Alicia Montgomery, a professional barrel racer, and breeder of adorable dachshunds. She's done so much, that we didn't even get to talk about her award-winning horses!  Listen for how a silversmith class changed Alicia's life. Seven years ago she had an accident that left her blind in one eye. Shortly afterwards her beloved horse died, as well as her dear friend passed away all in the same time frame. To process her grief, she healed her heart by creating a necklace with everything that represented her loved ones.  Thus, Memory Necklaces were born. Pretty soon her personalized necklaces were being sold at rodeos and elsewhere to people who found comfort and healing through the beautiful pieces.  She really shows us how creativity heals. 

Today you can order these gorgeous, personalized necklaces made with love for your friends, family and yourself.  Mothers put their children's names on them. Dog lovers have their own necklace honoring their four footed friends. We're ordering the inspirational necklaces. See the latest & greatest designs on Alicia's Facebook page. You can also see her designs onEtsy shop or on her website.  How often can you buy such beautiful, personalized pieces from such a talented, multi-faceted woman?  We love her work, and we love her.  ​Buy one for your friends andtwo for yourself.
