Our First Rookie Year!
There was a RLR milestone there somewhere but we haven’t properly celebrated it. We figure with a new year, we can officially take note of how far Red Letter Rookie has come thus far!
What started out as an idea has become a reality: We have put out a few DIYs and projects, gone on a few adventures to share with you, and shared our creative processes with this blog. We only hope to share even MORE with you this year! <3
RLR Update: Friendsgiving!
It came down to the wire in terms of preparations, but we did it! A Friendsgiving miracle; lots of food, good company, and a group photo. Based on that I would say it was a success. :))
You may have seen a little sneak peek into one of the projects I did on our Instagram. They were little goodie boxes with name tags. Even though it was a small gathering, I wanted my guests to feel special. Note: Personalized things are a crowd pleaser!
It was important for me to make the night feel cozy and homey, so I stuck with simple decorations (i.e. pumpkins, mason jars, candles.) A "hipster" autumnal trifecta, I begrudgingly suppose. Another note: Little details help. Mixing materials and textures is a good way to make decorations feel whole. It makes the eye move one place to the next.
Turns out I'm not all that reliable on taking photos during the night. Instead I was making sure my guests were well fed, played games, and had some pleasant conversations. A decent trade off, right? ;) We're so thankful for all you other Rookies out there. We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and/or Friendsgiving! xo
HAPPY HALLOWEEN from all your friends at RLR!
Anyone else waiting up for The Great Pumpkin? <3
Summer Days Driftin’ Away…
Summer may be waning but we’re just getting started. Party, karamu, fiesta forever. Find us! a la Twitter, Instagram, Spotify, Facebook, Vimeo.
Use the hashtag #GetYourRookieOn (on Twitter or Tumblr) to show us your DIY results or creative projects and we’ll be sure to share them. Now get to work, Rookies! xo

RLR Summer Update: I hope you all have had a wonderful summer thus far! We have seen quite a few sights ourselves and we thought to share them with you. :))
We wish we could venture out more even if that means having to be a tourist in our own city. Traveling inspires us even in the smallest ways; Hues here and there, the different ways the sky plays with the landscape, just experiencing something new to break away from the mundane. Go on, adventure is out there!
Red Letter Rookie is on Instagram!
If you don't know, now you know.. We have a bit of fun over there. We post previews of upcoming projects, our little #RLRadventures, #feelgoodfridays, #creativitystruggles, and all the miscellany! Just some good stuff that don't exactly make it onto our Tumblr. :)) Bring it on over to.. to our Instagram!
For The Win!
A hundred small victories will lead you closer to your goals. Closer to where you want to be. So keep at it.
Proud to say that we've gotten a bit of love for our latest DIY project! At first I felt a little silly being very excited about something so insignificant and minuscule. But I took a minute and really thought about it. This IS significant (for the RLR team, anyway) and we ought to be excited!
No matter what goal you're working towards, whether it's a business venture, creative project, overcoming your fears, healthy living, etc., it is important to take note of the little victories on the path towards your goals.
They remind you of your progress and your amazing accomplishments so far, no matter how trivial.
Take pride in the work that has been done because it gives you motivation to push yourself even further.
When you take the time to reflect on the obstacles you overcame, you build up your confidence and become more happy because of it! Who can say no to happy?
Often times I get bogged down on the thought of what hasn't been done that I don't applaud the good work already accomplished. Well, that is about to change. Don't wait until someday. Celebrate the now. Treat Yo Self!
