It’s so nice to get back to doing these. <3 Breaks are always lovely to have, but getting back into the normal swing of life is so good. I am so glad I started doing these posts – because I am very sure that the act of going through Pinterest, harvesting images I love, and compiling them for your enjoyment has helped me figure out what it is that I really love in terms of photography and design. I feel like my own tastes are developing so quickly, and it’s exciting to see that happening. I just want to keep…

I kind of like keeping it simple, choosing carefully, being focused. So it’s a simple inspiration post again today, with my favorite images, no fillers. I thought about writing a long post about some things that are on my heart, but today I’ll just be quiet and wait for another time to write those words.

Today’s inspiration has a lot less images…I wanted to keep it simple this time round. Dark textured backgrounds, white sans serif typefaces, and all photos Christmas have been grabbing me recently.

Sometimes that’s just the case, right? Last week was crazy and wonderful – I just barely won NaNoWriMo for the third year, finishing with 17 minutes to spare and having written 12,000 words in one day.

It was worth it, though) And now I’m so excited for Christmas and really enjoying this season. Pinterest has been blowing up with Christmas photos, designs, and everything else you can think of; and I had a hard…

It’s finally Christmas time – we’re decorating the house now, putting up the tree and “decking the halls” with all the ribbons and evergreen garlands we’ve collected over the years; and all to our favorite Christmas music. (Which by the way, Carol of the Bells by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is just about the best to me. I’ve played THAT one on repeat probably too many times. ;) ) There’s something extra-special about this time of year.
