My Vignette

my vignette

Our bedroom is one of the few places in our house where I feel like I can make a vignette and it will stay that way. But that’s the one room where I go a little crazy and demand that everything in the room be ‘quiet’.  The duct tape wall is loud enough for me, I want everything else to be almost silent. So I admit, my dresser vignette lacks pizzaz but, it makes me feel all calm.

dresser

The reality in most of our house is that I’m the messiest person and set my junk down everywhere. So my surfaces have a choice, they can either be a cute vignette that is interrupted with a Starbucks cup, random jewels that I unknowingly removed, a pen without a cap and my phone. I can NEVER find my phone.

Your Summer Reading…For the Next Three Years

this bundle is no longer available…

this post contains affiliate links

I’m a reader of books. And ebooks and today there’s a super huge sale of a big bundle of 97 ebooks all sold together for one crazy low price. Over the past few years I purchased many of these separately and learned so much. These books have been so helpful for me from learning about simple blogging, being intentional about the clothes in my closet to decluttering and planning parties. Really, I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t want to have all these ebooks, plus, they don’t take up any room–you store them all on your computer.

But there’s a second reason I think you should buy them.

writing

You Should Write an Ebook

I dare say that every person reading this sentence has an expertise. You clearly have a computer. You should finally write that ebook.

This sale, is your research. Not to copy, no, you are too smart and unique for that. But there’s no better way to figure out what you do and don’t want to do for your ebook than by getting to check out 97 ebooks that have sold.

tassel ebook

Want My Ebook For Free?

A few years ago I wrote an ebook about how to make decorative tassels to hang on your furniture and such. If you purchase this eBook bundle, I’ll send you my ebook for free. It’s not fancy but it has a ton of photos and if you get it today, you’ll have time to make tassels for Mother’s Day. Directions to get your free Tassel Ebook are at the bottom of this post.

Here’s the nitty-gritty, more than you’ll ever want to know about the fantabulous ebook bundle available now 97 ebooks for just $29.97 (that’s about 30 cents each!):

tufted bench

I’ve been on the lookout for a low backed bench for a few months. And really, I bought it for our bedroom so I could put it at the end of our bed. It’s been here three weeks and has yet to make it up the stairs. But its thin legs make me nervous for such a trafficy room. We’ll have to see where it ends up.

Becoming Debt Free & 6 Odd Tips That Helped Us

6 odd tips to debt free

This is the second post in an all about me series called Things You Might Not Know About Me. Yesterday’s post: My Real Name

We finally did it. I mentioned in last year’s goal post that we hope to be debt free this year. Both my husband and I were self-employed for all of our debt paying off years so we never make the same amount twice in a row. Figuring out an exact date to be debt free was always a little difficult. But we paid off our debt right before the Big Sale.

how to pay off debt

I’ve written about our story here and here so I won’t bore you with the details. Here’s the one sentence round-up: Lost a business or two, ended up with over $150,000 in mostly business debt and also my car. The sad part, it wasn’t even fun debt like clothes and vacations, the good part, I never got used to an expensive lifestyle. It took us fiveish years to pay that off and the math really doesn’t add up. Along the way we had some super hard years where we had to settle a couple smaller debts and we even had a really generous family member who surprised us and  forgave a debt that equalled about 10% of our total. But it’s paid. I’m not an expert but I’ll share what worked for us.

Dreaming of 31 Days

DSC_0004

Every October for the past four years a bunch of us have participated in a 31 Day challenge to write on one topic for well, 31 Days.  Consider this your invitation to join in this year. Nope, it’s not until October but this is the time of year I let my brain start collecting data. I just kind of pay attention to what I’m thinking about and let a topic naturally come to me. Usually by the time I’m hanging out at the pool in July I can start to title a few posts. I always have dreams of writing every post early and taking the entire month off but never do.

So, begin to consider the kind of topic you might want to write about, you want it to be broad enough that you can write 31 posts about it without getting sick of it, but specific enough that it feels like a series. It’s not easy at all but it’s been a fun exercise that I enjoy one month out of the year, and then recover from for the other eleven.  There are no rules, feel free to look at the past posts and see how we each approached 31 days in our own way.

 

Participants from last year (over 1200!)

Here are my 31 Day Series from the past 3 years:
