design your life
It is time to begin thinking about the holidays. I always try to do a few Christmas gift tags, and here is the first of the season. It is a simple and minimal Merry Christmas tag with green text and a little Christmas tree. I used my typical brown paper favor bags in my photos, [...]
Two years after I first posted one, tags that read 'a little treat for someone sweet' are my most visited blog post. They go well with, literally, any sweet little treat. Many of my readers use them for teacher gifts. I did this one in a different style and color from previous versions. It is [...]
I have always liked simple and elegant gift wrapping. These black and white cat tags look great with a solid colored wrapping paper. Print a few to keep on hand, then just hand write a short message on the back anytime you wrap a present. The gift tags may be downloaded free using the form [...]
I almost did not design these tags. I have already seen many cards and decorations and ornaments for 2020 with face masks as a design element, and it didn't seem like another was needed. But, I know someday I might enjoy going back through my blog, and these will remind me of this time in [...]
With classes starting back, many of us are seeking to get better organized. Printable binder covers are an easy way to personalize your notebooks and make each subject quickly identifiable.

I had realtors in mind when I created these new welcome home gift tags. If you wish to get a little creative when you put together your closing gift, try a gift basket with things they can use in their new house, and then tie these tags to the handle. Or, if you are not [...]
Art Deco has been my favorite style since I was an 18-year-old college freshman in my first architectural history class. I like the vertical lines and the glamour and the shimmery elegance. If I had a larger house, I would most certainly create a small salon or sitting room where I could read, work, and [...]
Since the pandemic began, I have been spending a lot of time working in my little eat-in kitchen. I have an office, but it is rather warm upstairs and not as comfortable as it is in my sunny kitchen on the first floor. I have been thinking about giving it a little bit of an [...]
I am starting a new series on my blog that I will publish on Sundays. I love looking at design magazines and browsing furniture stores, but neither my pocketbook nor my house size allow me to indulge in purchasing very often. But that doesn't stop me from fulfilling my longings online. I therefore plan to [...]
