High Five for Friday!

Here is a recap of my week!

pretty please

Hazel Berry Paper is officially on Facebook. Like everything I set out to do these days, it took alot longer than it probably should have, but HEY... Done is better than perfect right? OR in the words of Lara Casey... sometimes DONE is PERFECT. So if you are a reader, friend, family member, or a plant please go like it by clicking "pretty please" up above. 

Get this now.

I received my DAY DESIGNER for signing up for my AHINSPRED SESSIONS! I have to say... the price tag on this puppy is not exactly something I was excited about when I first heard of it, but once I got it in the mail ( it came with my inspired session package! ) I realize how valuable it truly is. Just filling out the first few worksheets made my vision a little clearer in how I can accomplish the goals I have set out to reach. Well done, Whitney English. Well done.

HBP

Yes, I am spoiling the surprise with this post, BUT I think its worth sharing the concept. So I did. Booyah.

"For every Hazel Berry Paper order I give a free little gift. Shipping out a meal planner last week inspired me to add a little personal touch! Yep, you guys are spotting some lovely new recipes cards with my holiday apple pie recipe to start! It's sooo delicious, and my husband, the dessert connoisseur, says its incredible! I feel inspired to relish the opportunities to add a heartfelt touch to each and every product that leaves my doorstep. Hopefully, my new friend likes it. :)"

NEW PRODUCTS!

I know I have posted about this already this week so go here to read up on these, and go here to get a closer look! 

Art print by Mulberry Press Co.

Sera, of Mulberry Press Co., is such a sweet soul that I discovered through Instagram! I love her creativity and her heartfelt, yet witty products. When I spotted this print by her, I gasped in such excitement because that is a prayer I have prayed many times recently. Thank you Sera for your genuine heart and for this print! I also ordered another item that I just couldn't resist.. but I will share that at a later date. One of my special friends might be receiving it and believe it or not, I don't won't to ruin the surprise! 

This week has been productive. So cheers to that! Time to enjoy the weekend and spend some much needed quality time with my husband!

HOORAY!

Guess what y'all!

There are some new notepads in town, minis to be exact! I am loving them! Each of them is a 6"x8" notepad, designed and made with even more love. I decided to try some smaller pads, as the bigger ones aren't always necessary, so let me know your thoughts on the variety! With out further ado, here are my new creations in the shop.... 

"Oh so lovely" mini-notepad----more colors! 

"Hey Beautiful" mini-notepad ---more colors! 

Personalized leaf mini-notepad in a variety of fall colors.

Floral circle monogram mini-notepad- personalize your monogram!

Well there they are. Hope you love them, because I sure do! To view each product in the shop, click on thumbnail image. To go straight to all of the Hazel Berry goodness go here.

High Five for Friday

TGIF.

1. Well there's good news and bad news. 

Good news first? Agreed. 

So good news.. I received my BONLOOK glasses this week! 

Bad news... pretty sure I should have done the virtual try on so that I could get a feel for how the square  frames would look on my face. Because it's not good. Or at least I'm not digging it. My husband thought they were cute and all my friends agreed and said "rock them. be fearless"...but I know that I will just end up not wearing them. SO, luckily, BONLOOK has amazing customer service, and they are helping me figure out which pair would best fit my needs and the look I am going for. Plus, they are  paying all shipping fees for the exchange. Pretty amazing right?! 

OH, I almost forgot! They also sent a lollipop with my glasses. Which is definitely worth mentioning. 

2. I will be doing this with this inspiring individual.  I am over the moon, jump on the couch, filled to the brim with glee, about this. I've been praying for the perfect opportunity, and I've found it.

So grateful.

3. I am making a new wreath this weekend. I found all of these online and decided that they were my favorites. All different, but all beautiful, and would make my door look legit. Craft Saturday is H.A.P.P.E.N.I.N.G.

inspiration board... so far

4. Since the weather has cooled off a little, we spend a lot more time on our back porch.  That area is probably one of the last areas in our home that needs a little TLC. So any time we are out there together, the brainstorming begins! It's been fun to think about what we could do. It's also kind of fun to think of the resources we will have to pull together to do this on a budget. Something about the challenge sets my heart on fire!

5. Best for last... I have the best husband. I know all of you are shaking your heads at me
(or vomitting), but truly.. he's such a GEM.
He made my lunches this week.
Let's be real... probably everyday. 
You see, mornings are rough. Typically I don't feel awesome from lack of sleep, or just icky-ness.
Self, Don't forget grouchy.
So before he leaves, he makes my coffee, packs my lunch, and waits until I leave (if he can) to give me the warmest hug and kiss and to hand me my (very well made) lunch.
Sometimes I just need a little extra grace, which is why I can say he is the best. Because like our glorious savior, he gives me that little helping of grace when I need it most.

SIDE NOTE: Jesus would have made an amazing husband. Can I get an amen?! 

Color Crush

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

This month, I am loving anything and everything that reminds me of this glorious time of year. Nature is the greatest inspiration there is, so naturally, orange has stolen my heart this month!  I find myself incorporating it into everything I can! I might even be brainstorming a fall inspired art print. Stay tuned. 

These are my favorite orange pieces that I've spotted lately.

To feast your eyes on awesomeness, this is where you need to be. 

Master Designer

I have recently become apart of this Manifesto, and I feel so proud to be apart of it. Darlene from Fieldstone Hill Design is behind all of this, and I couldn't be more blessed by her intentions of bringing us designers together in such a touching and powerful way. We may not deal with the same mediums, clientele or design in the same way, but we are all united by the one who call us to our purpose. 

As designers, we love to create beautiful things. That is our passion, our calling and our service. 

"I LIVE TO BRING GLORY TO GOD THE ULTIMATE MASTER DESIGNER.

He created beauty. He created all beautiful things. He created my passion for beauty and set that hoy in my heart."

That is my favorite part because it is a huge piece of my heart in sentence form. I'm so grateful for Darlene's kind heart and welcoming me into this lovely group or dreamers and doers. Also, a special congratulations is in order to Darlene and her family on their gorgeous baby girl. 

Visit Fieldstone Hill Design and learn more about the Master Designer Manifesto. If you scroll to the bottom you will see Hazel Berry Paper sitting proud. :) 

Happy Sunday! 

High five for Friday!

I needed today's post. This week has been challenging in a lot of crazy ways. So making a point to take a moment and reflect on the High Five worthy moments this week, is just what to doctor ordered!

I bought my first pair of Bonlook glasses this week. I am probably overly excited about them, but getting to choose an adorable style and paying so much less than I typically do, means its worthy. Worthy! 

I purchased the Dylan. ((Sounds so fancy)) Can't wait to get them! 

Target gift wrap for Hazel Berry packaging??  Uh, yes please.

I got a pretty awesome opportunity/email reply from Jerika at Everyday bay! We will be doing a collaboration soon.

I made Apple Pie this week for the first time of my life. And.... it was a giddy success! 

I say giddy because I was so full of joy and pride that it turned out really good, and i'm pretty sure my husband was just as excited and surprised. 

Anyway, I got the recipe from This Little Estate Blog. The only change I made was the type of apples she used. I ended up using Braeburn and Golden Delicious. It was so good that I am making another one tonight and will FOR SURE be taking it to the next gathering where my Mother-in-Law is present. 

Always good to keep impressing, eh!

I didn't get to get anything accomplished this week that I set out do to. Im sure you're thinking.. 

umm we are high fiving about this?? 

.. And no not exactly, but sometimes great things come in oddly wrapped and slightly beated packages. 

 I'm going somewhere good with this...promise.

This week challenged all of my being, but when you are down to nothing, GOD is up to something. And that my friends just made my life. God is good all the time. All the time, God is good. 

Feeling grateful, and Choosing to focus on my blessings. 

Well that was quite the weekend introduction. Let's savor September a little more, Shall we?
