It's that time again! I had such a blast designing these printables. Fun patterns and bright colors are the epitome of summertime! Don't you think so? My husband and I are gearing up for a vacation within the next few weeks, so summer loving' was definitely the focus of my artwork this month. Hope you enjoy the purposeful printables. Get them HERE today!

You will start noticing it being infused into this little blog of mine, and in the little ole shop. And that's all I am going to say for now. :)

Isn't it gorgeous?

Worth the fight

 As I make my way through LOVE DOES my perspective is changing on love. Particularly what it does to us and what we do with it. Because love does things. Love pays for a strangers dinner, love makes dinner for a sick friend, love shows gratitude for the tiniest favor, and love does things that show undeniable kindness. 

It's a simple concept, but also seems very complex. But really if you think about it, Love is really simple and we are the ones who are complex. God is love and his love is easy, but we take into consideration convenience, awkwardness and self-benefit. Which makes us complicated…. why can't we just focus on God? 

When we even question for a second if we should or shouldn't follow through with an act of kindness, that isn't love. Because love does things. 

Do something kind today that makes someone feel loved.

A Better Me - Monthly with HB

Monthly with HB

From time to time, I get really down on myself. I start to dwell on comparing myself to others or gauge my success by how many tasks I checked off on my list.. which isn't always a lot. So I really try to do something to better myself, whether its once a month, every few months, or a time or two a week. The world is just a better place when us women are happy, am I right? I designed these printables to fit a lifestyle of my own. Busy, busy and more busy. So incorporating something that would assist me in making me feel better about myself was completely necessary. 

If you read my last post, you know about Monthly with HB. If you missed it, they click the link to read more about the purpose and how it can be used in your day-to-day. Inside of the Monthly with HB package of printables, each month you will receive a surprise printable that encourages you to be the best version of yourself. I like to call it "A Better Me" printable. April's ABM is all about out with the clutter and in with the clean fresh slate that we all need around this time of year. Broken down by room,  each task will help you gain that new start. 

I know what you are thinking.."cleaning..really? that doesn't sound like a good time." Take it from me the anti-cleaning housewife, it can be fun… which is why I decided to break it down and give you a sneak peek of the rules sheet for Spring Cleaning. 

Follow these steps:

Have some fun with it, and most importantly, don't forget to celebrate! Pre-order your April printables HERE. 

Ta-Ta!

High Five for Friday

ITS FRIDAY and I am in LOVE... with this cute little girl. Stella says Happy Friday!

My top 5 for this week:

1. Every now and then during my work days, I take a small break to just regroup and take my eyes off of the computer screen. I should probably be taking a walk around the neighborhood or something productive like that, but instead, I decide to look at pretty things I can't afford. :) 

Plus, my Dad got this magazine at his office and saved it for me (so sweet right?!) because he knows his daughter has expensive taste! HA!

2. I am so excited to get some new products in the shop! And this is just a sneak peak of some new things to come! 

3. I got fun mail this week!! No Joke, I open the mail box and there are 5 bills (FIVE BILLS!!) and then a little gem hidden underneath! To make it even better, the note was thanking me for a note of encouragement I sent a few weeks ago. I love love love a friend who pursues me by one of my love languages! Truly special.

4. Stella has been learning so many new tricks and she is doing really well in her obedience classes at PetSmart! If you were looking into their classes for dogs, I highly recommend it! Right now, our biggest lesson we are trying to learn is not to chew on mommy's Hunter boots. 

"You are the perfect combination of fun and boring", my valentine says.

5. If you ever find your self in downtown chattanooga, stop on by the Public House. Zack and I went there for our Valentine's date and it was such a great experience with great food, great wine and incredible carrot cake!! Plus everything is white.... Heaven! 

Hope everyones week was wonderful! Mine sure was, but I am WORN OUT. So I will leave you with this sleepy image of my golden girl.

Habits // New Products!

Have you ever read the 'Encouragement for Today' posts on crosswalk.com? 

I frequent on these daily devos. They are quick, meaningful and often so dead-on and relatable with my life in that moment. They are a great mid-day pick-me-up too!!

So about a month ago, I read this devo by Nicki Koziarz  titled "Habits of a woman who doesn't give up." It touched my heart in so many ways. It made me feel so grateful for the positive examples people have set for me, and even gave me a little self confidence boost, that even when I am tired, burnt out, and feel like I have nothing left to give, I can still do it. Giving up is one of those things that crosses my mind daily, but I just can't seem to do it. God's grace saves me every time! 

Each point is so encouraging in its own way. So, I have designed a collection of Art Prints inspired by the 5 points in this message.  The points are as follows..

"Here are five habits I've discovered which characterize a woman who doesn't give up:

1. She gets up each morning and follows through with her commitments, despite how she feels.

2. She approaches the Word of God with reverence.

3. She longs for the grace of refinement rather than the grace of relief.

4. She chooses to invest in the world with joy.

5. She has a spirit of unbreakable determination.

What about you? What has God called you to do? Start by adopting one habit today and commit your work to the Lord.

Lord, thank You for filling me with purpose, faith and determination. Help me continue to do the work You've given me. Amen." (by Nicki Koziarz)

Read the full devo here. 

So that was a super long introduction, BUT totally necessary because Nicki's post inspired these prints that I am OH SO PROUD to show you! So without further ado…

Do you need a little encouragement in your daily routine? What is your favorite phrase or verse that motivates you? Which print do you relate with the most? I would love to hear it!

REAL TALK: The Amber Housley Experience

Image via Amber Housley

I think the title of this post is totally appropriate. Two weeks ago,  I had the privilege to get a tiny peek into the Amber's Business brain and I must say how energized and motivated I was to take action after meeting her. I am so glad I was able to participate in the 'inspired session'. She gave me such great advice and most of all was just such a delight to speak with. Having someone 'get' my goals, and then give me such awesome reassurance and tools to assist my hard work, was so inspiring and a true kick in the rear. Anyone who is on the fence about if these types of things is worth it.. the money, the time, the advice.... I have one piece of advice for you. 

Jump. 

Just do it. It so worth it, and even though my to do lost grew, I felt as if I were growing along side of it.  

And more importantly, If you stumble, God is there to catch our fall and remind us that he is right there the whole way. 

In the
weeks since, I have really soaked up all I've learned. I really evaluated my true passion, my goals, and if I really want what I think I want. 

The answer is yes, and the time is now. 

"As I lay down my life 
And pick up my cross 
What a joy it is to give my life away to you 
All that I need, 
All that I seek 
Is You here with me 
Holy Spirit have Your way in me! "

-LEELAND

LETS DO THIS! 

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. :)"
