May wrap up

May has been such an exciting and hectic month over here on my little blog!

 

First, I was accepted to be part of the 2015 creative team and contributor over at Kenarry: Ideas for the Home. This is so exciting for me for several reasons. Kenarry: Ideas for the Home is an awesome blog that provides so many great ideas you’ll find useful for your home. Cooking, do-it-yourself projects, delicious recipes, home decor, technology, parenting, product recommendations – all valuable things you can implement at your home. I’ve been following her blog for several months and I just love her ideas, the way she writes and her content is very inspirational. In addition to being so talented, I’ve gotten to know Carrie {the lady behind the blog} via email, facebook and all the fun blog stuff – and she is such a delight! I know I’ll love working with her and will learn so much. I’m also honored to be part of a team of amazing creative women. They are all so talented and I can’t wait to work with them too!!

Be sure to check out Kenarry: Ideas for the Home here. My first post will be on June 8th – yeah!! I’ll be notifying you when my future posts will appear too.

In addition to this exciting news, some of my DIY projects have been featured elsewhere on the web this month. woo-hoo!!
