New Year, New Goals: 2014

Looking back on last year's list of goals, I'm happy to say that I've accomplished most of the things on there, even if I just finished some of them this week (ie. hanging my gallery wall and styling my bar cart...stay tuned!). There are still a few items on there which I'd like to do, especially vlogging.
Heck, I haven't even posted an instagram video yet!
I've updated my list for 2014 with 10 goals, both professional and personal, that I hope to achieve this year!

Time to fill this planner up! Big ideas, big dreams, and big hopes for the next twelve months!
What are some of YOUR major goals?

Business Cards & Guest Post

This Saturday is Blogpodium. I'm so excited, and also a little bit nervous. This will be my first blogging conference and I can't wait to finally meet so many of my local blogging friends here in Toronto (not to mention hear all the great speakers including Sarah Richardson and my girl Steph).

One 'must' for every blogger is a well designed business card. I made the careful decision to custom design my own using photoshop and have them printed. I love how they turned out! The little watercolor zebra I painted is my favourite touch.

I spy me in one of these pictures...can you spot it? Amateur hour over here. Also, you can see that I started to gold leaf the edges for an extra touch, but my beloved gold leaf pen ran out of ink. I will have to get another one. I also used my gold leaf pen to add the leopard sports to the little lucite tray that I'm using to display my business cards, which you can read more about here.

Speaking of girls I'm dying to meet at Blogpodium, Sweet Elyse from Peonies and Brass is going to be there and I just so happen to be blogging over at her site today about my favourite furniture hack.
Do you have an guesses what it is? Head on over to find out!

Will I be seeing any more of you on Saturday? I hope so loves.

Minted Giveaway

Like most bloggers, I love me some good stationary. There is something so charming about a handwritten note or card in today's technological world. So when Minted so kindly offered a $50 credit to one of my lovely readers, I jumped at the opportunity! One of my favourite products by Minted is their pesonalized photo Christmas cards - a perfect way for couples, families and friends to send out some love over the holidays!
They also have some really fun party decor, and I've created a little inspiration board below featuring some of their products from the Let's Get This Party Started Collection.
