Favorite Finds

Holy cow - this week was taking it's damn time! I'm not sure why I'm complaining since I didn't go to work Monday (thanks to MLK) or Thursday (thanks to a random freezing rainstorm), but I've been working my tush off at home - designing, photographing, reading blogs, trying to eat healthy, and taking breaks while watching Pretty Little Liars (I'm seriously ashamed about this - someone please help me!).

In between the work load I've come across some really great posts this month and wanted to share a round up of of my favorite links and finds (and hope to do this once each month!):

>> Swooning over Julie Ann's Valentine's cards - I want to buy all of them.

>> Giving props to Aunie on not only her SF trip but her first video editing creation - I loved it.

>> Flattered I was one of Flavor Pink's watercolor subjects - can you tell which one is me?

>> Thankful Allyssa shared this helpful Pinterest secret - did you know?

>> Teary-eyed over Emily's line up of aww-worthy first look wedding photos!

>> Eying custom camera strap covers over at this girl's shop but haven't decided yet.

>> Convinced I should attempt to make a vintage tee thanks to this lady's DIY tutorial.

>> Decided to copy-cat this girl's outfit... I'll be featuring photos next week :)

>> Joining forces for a week with Danielle's new Instagram challenge (check out details below)!
