    Jayne's Studio

    • Jayne's sewing area after
      Jayne's studio was so fun to work on. Who wouldn't love to be amongst beautiful fabrics, beads, trims and creative company! Jayne is the creative handbag designer behind www.designsbyjayne.com . She is also a wonderful mother + wife. Her story brings tears to my eyes and I'm proud to be a part of her life. (Look for her story in a future post) Jayne gave me a ring when she was ready to take her biz to the next level... take a look, I think she's got it going on! Take a look at the BEFORE + AFTER PHOTOS yourself...

    Organized Women...this is for you!

    Hey Girlfriend! I'm glad you found my fabulous little organizing + lifestyle blog. It's all about integrating function + fabulous sprinkled with sass + inspiration. 

    I would love for you to join my newsletter + get blog updates (look to your right)[for my non-techy girlfriends that means everytime I write something new on my blog- you get an email]

    Time to Soak it All in...

    Summer 08 tahoe trip 022

    Summer is officially here in the Pacific Northwest! I love this picture of my daughter as she so innocently soaks it all in...

    The big girl in me sees that she's embracing all life has to offer. Her toes slightly sinking in the sand- keeping her grounded and safe from the oncoming waves. Her arms wide open to explore what is near + far.

    I'm going to soak it all in as well. I only have so many summers to be with the kids... they are already 9 + 7 so I'm lucky if they'll hang out with me for another 4 years. I'm sure you'll forgive me if my posts are more sporadic, less "how to" and more "why bother".  I'll be sharing old posts, my favorite blogs, and reading my magazines that have been piling up ;).

    Cheers to you and Cheers to a fabulous Summer! Krista

    5 minutes to fabulous... PROMISE

    I know this happens to you.... you look around your house + get all pissy. All pissy about the little messes that feel HUGE.  I decided to grab my camera and share with you the piddly things that were driving me crazy but in reality each area took me less than 5 minutes. (ok, except the kitchen sink where I needed to handwash some dishes)

    I'll share if you share.... Let me know what's vexing you and how long it REALLY took you to solve the problem. Spill girlfriend.
