I had a productive morning but a huge freaking migraine sort of derailed me about 11am. Had to take my meds and try to lie down and hope it goes away. 😮‍💨On the plus side my sweet hubs found these crystal beauties on the interwebs & aren’t they beautiful soaking up their sunshine?? ✨They make me feel a lil bit better! 💕#meditationcrystals #crystalhealing #shinythingsmakemehappy #migrainelife #crystalsaremagic #theartwerks (at The Woodlands, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVOhjxvv8o7/?utm_medium=tumblr

HAPPY FRIDAY! Lets play a game! What’s your Hogwarts house & what would have been your favorite class?!? Tag your fav HP fan friends in the comments!! I’m def a Slytherin with an aptitude in herbology. Married a Ravenclaw, and birthed a Hufflepuff. 👌🏼🤔🤣 I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed Divination & Potions class though too. 👌🏼✨🌛🧪 #whatsyourhouse #harrypotterfan #harrypotternerd #potterfansunite #hogwartshouses #ifyoudontlikeharrypotterwecantbefriends (at The Woodlands, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDL_cpg0vd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lots of NEW fabric designs (available on wallpaper too of course!) dropping in my shop right now!! New florals, new holiday prints (Halloween, fall, Christmas, winter etc..) as well as fun coordinates like these fun painted polka dots- available in a rainbow of colors!! You can navigate to my spoonflower shop via the link in my bio- and sort by “new” to find them all! Reminder also if you missed my last post about it - @spoonflower has 20% off now until FRIDAY, and @rakuten has an ADDITIONAL 10% cash back from Spoonflower (and MANY other retailers!) on top of that. Plus I have a link for Rakuten where you get a $30 sign up bonus when you spend $30! It’s free to join, so DM if you want that link!! If you’re gonna buy fabric or wallpaper, get that cash back!!! 💰🙌🏼 (at The Woodlands, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVA0JckgBaH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Good morning! If you haven’t checked out our shop lately there are quite a few new & extra colorful designs you can get on both fabrics & wallpapers! ✨💕🌈 Wanted to remind you of two huge savings for my frequent shopper: 1) Spoonflower has 20% off on ALL fabrics until Friday! That alone is a super great deal! But ALSO! 2) @rakuten is having super “holiday” % back on many different popular retailers right now- @spoonflower is one of them!! So you can get an additional 10% cash back (not to mention you can get 10% on other huge stores like @carters, @petsmart, @academy, @overstock, @adidas, and MANY OTHERS- so if you like to do your holiday shopping early it’s a fab deal!! How Rakuten works: Sign up, it’s free! (Use my link to get $30 back when you spend $30! Rakuten.com/r/MELISS55809) - Then either download their app, or use their browser plug-in on your computer (I use both!) and navigate to the store you want to shop at- and then shop as normal. It keeps track of how much you spent, and they send you your cash back and rewards via PayPal quarterly! I do cash back offers through my bank, and this works similarly, but they have WAY MORE participating stores and websites. Def sign up before you start holiday shopping and get some money back!!!!! ✨💕💰 #NOTanAd- I really use and love this, and I think you will too!

Don’t be scared of a little (or BIG!!) pop of color!! The peel & stick wallpaper from @spoonflower is a self adhesive, removable, and repositionable wallcovering. It’s ideal for both rooms and rented spaces, but also for DIY decals and other crafty projects! 📸 I get so much colorful inspiration for home decor & fashion from fellow Houston momma & blogger @littlemeandfree - please give her a follow! ✨Also FYI wallpaper is a whopping 25% off all rolls until TOMORROW (Friday!!) only, so if you’ve been considering it, it’s a great time to get some!!! Hope you all have a fantastic day 😘 (at The Woodlands, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvEHRggLjJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

A super, er, fun? 😵‍💫 Topic on the blog today! Talking about why you should consider copyrighting your art, and how to go about doing that. After having a few recent infringement situations myself where I’ve had to get the big lawyers involved 💀 and hearing from lots of other artists- I think this topic should be discussed WAY more frequently!! This is specific to my experience and is tailored to artists in the US, but I’d love if you’d check it out! 💕 (at The Woodlands, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYKGwyPA_y/?utm_medium=tumblr
