Facts and Fictions.

So as my blog title proclaims, I love honesty.  Don't get me wrong-I also love silver linings, happy endings and cosmetics as much as the next girl.  But I feel as though there is courage behind honesty and sometimes letting people know that you're not perfect and neither are a lot of the things you do on a daily basis is more inspiring than anything else.  It says, "hey guys...I'm human" and makes it okay for everyone else to be human, too!  And that leaves room for everyone to grow. 

Example of being human:

Wearing your favorite Steve Madden's to work, grabbing the warmest coat in your closet on the way out and throwing the bag you've been using all month over your shoulder before running off to work late.

Only to get there and realize that you look like this.

But there are also the days that leave you feeling pretty damn fabulous and don't think for a second that I don't believe in sharing pride of accomplishment.  I just think it's fun to also share the less-than-perfect moments and keep a sense of humor about the whole thing.  Life's a journey afterall!

One of the best parts of being alive is that every single day is a new chance to make things different.  I think this is why so many women love crafting, it feels great to take something (or some things) and make it something else.  Sometimes I look at DIY projects and think "hmm...I think I liked the original better".  But then I realize-it's not necessarily improvement that we strive for.  Sometimes it's just change! 

Oh Target, how I love thee.

This year I would like to revel in change.  I think it's important to keep things fresh and step outside of your own comfort level as much as possible.  Crafting is such a fun way to reinvent.  I have some great ideas (well, great in my mind!) and can't wait to begin my various projects.  Did I mention I LOVE Valentine's Day?!

Stay tuned!
