My last blog post here was over a month ago. Who am I?! I feel really free now that I’ve put Earl Grey “the blog” low on my priority, but I wanted to stop by to say hi and share a few updates.

Like I said in my last post, I went on vacation in late July/early August. It was wonderful to spend time with family and catch up with a few friends in my hometown. I’m still learning how to balance work and life now that I mostly work from home. It’s hard not to get stressed out even when my time off is planned and set aside.

I returned from vacay the first week of August and dove right into a web design project with a couple of super amazing ladies! The vision they have for their brand is beautiful and I seriously can’t wait to share everything with all of you. This project is what has been keeping me busy and inspired this month.

Over on The Blog Market, Angela and I have been working all day err day on our new design, shop, and weekly goodies for bloggers. To end the month on a good note, we’re hosting a giveaway with Artful Blogging Magazine! Angela was featured in their latest issue which is so cool (see second photo). The entire magazine seems to be full of the dreamiest, most inspiring content for bloggers.

The giveaway will run for the next week and there are a couple of different ways to enter. Click here for the deets! 

How was the month of August for you? I really cannot believe it’s almost fall. It’s getting chilly enough for hot drinks and light sweaters (at least this week… you never know about Oregon weather) and I love/hate it. A couple more summery pool days need to happen before summer is “officially” over. :)
