Sometimes we just need a little more color in our lives to alter our mood, a space, a project, even a meal. But even more than that, adding color can also come in the form of just changing our perspective, carving out time "YOU time", going on an "inspiration trip" by browsing your favorite store alone, scheduling a pedicure, having time to yourself in the car without the kids to blast YOUR favorite song, opening up the sunroof to let the sun in or simply rolling down the windows to let the wind in your hair. Find a way to add some color to your day...to your life! #thinkaboutit

original quote by Jessica Kirkland

This morning I attended a field trip with Ella to the same Santa's Christmas Tree Forest we go to every year to pick out our Christmas tree. We did a hayride, a bounce pillow, a petting farm and a picnic lunch while we were there and thank goodness the sun was out! The high today is only 63 and that is FREEZING for this Florida girl!!

I'm back in my warm studio for just a few minutes before racing off to pick up Ema from school.
I'm desperately trying to wrap up a new version of the Hot Cocoa Bar I shared with you a few years ago - been trying to find time to put it together for over 2 weeks now. My girls and I LOVE having it up and it's quickly become one of our favorite parts of our holiday/winter decor and season!!

Wish me luck in getting it finished because that means I'll have photographs to share as well as links to the printables to be able to create your own! *wink*

If you love the original quote I'm sharing today you can find more every day of the week over on my Instagram feed. I'd love for you to follow along!!

In the meantime...keep handing out the smiles this holiday season people! *wink*

Still need to get the Christmas decor and tree ornaments out of the attic.

INSPIRE | Make Some Pretty Happen

image from my Instagram Feed

I just LOVE Mondays!!
Especially when I've dedicated much of my time on the weekend to my family.
I always feel ready to tackle the projects for the week when I've taken some time on Saturday and Sunday to step away from the computer and unplug from social media and just "BE".

As soon as the sun comes up on Monday though…you better believe I'm just itching to dive back into work. Which most of the time seems completely unlike work at all since I'm fortunate enough to be able to focus on what I love most… CREATING!!

I'm about to make some "pretty" happen today - how about you?

For those of you who are curious...
The above image was created from a photo I took of a rose in my backyard.
I then used the NEW Rhonna Designs MAGIC App to add the "lace" texture to the image and then used the regular Rhonna Designs App to insert the text.

You're going to LOVE it!!
