I am Ready for August!

I have to say I am a happy this week is over. Its been a bit rough on me but I am happy that I am a strong enough person to get through it. Sometimes I don't feel that way but I really have come to understand more why people can stoop so low. I can't let them get to me or bring me down with them. As hard as it is to release that bad energy within in you its the only way to move on. Can you tell I am ready for a new month? I think its going to be great! I have lots of things to look forward too. I will be moving into a house, going to Portland, OR for a camping trip and oh yeah my birthday on the 19th! :)

Lovely Featured Sellers

Lately I have been thinking of new ways to promote Lovely Clusters and gain more exposure. Obviously building a network is key to any business and keeping it strong will keep it going. I really love that I have an opportunity to help small businesses grow and also build a network. I know there are a lot of other online businesses that do this and it seems like a new one pops up everyday. It's a competitive market for what I do but I strive to keep Lovely Clusters unique. It's not just another place for sellers to have items shown in a gallery. Lovely Clusters is also for the viewers to get excited about what they see and possibly have bloggers feel inspired to write a blog post about something they loved from the site. Like many designers, I enjoy what I make but in my case it's what I curate. I love that I can go to my site and click on a color and 9 out of 10 times I will find something that will work in a collage that I want to create. It really is such a great resource for what I do and love. With that said I would like to introduce to you three very lovely sellers that I highly recommend checking out. Happy browsing and enjoy!! :)

Mellow Monday: Long View of Gates

These images of gates have such a beautiful perspective. They all of this feeling of a reminder that we just have to keep moving on. :)

Speaking of moving on my husband and I will be moving into a sweet little two bedroom house in a few weeks. I will miss our loft but I am so very excited to have my own office and a yard with an ocean view. I am already thinking of ways to decorate. Cant wait!
