Write It Down, Make It Visible

That's one of my key takeaways with goals. If you don't write it down, if you don't put it somewhere visible as a reminder, you will forget and it won't get done. Kind of a no-brainer there.

So I devised a sweet little craft to make my One Little Word super visible in both my work and home life. Well, I mean, it's bunting, which isn't anything new or surprising. But it's so cute and damn easy! Damn!

I bought some glitter cardboard from Treasured Memories as my starting point, because I knew I wanted it to be glittery. I cut all the letters freehand. I cut a triangle out of cardboard, traced it and then cut a bunch more. Then covered each triangle with Anthropologie catalogue pages. I knew I was saving all those back issues for something...

This is one of those crafty projects that could have become a DIY post very quickly, but when I went to grab my camera to take process shots I was like "Really Lisa? You need to make this into a big deal because...?" So I put the camera done and just did it. Much more satisfying.

I wanted the one for work to be a little smaller, a little less "in your face". I work in a hallway and everyone can see what's on my (very messy) desk and "wall" (it's the back of a filing cabinet). But I wanted it to feel cohesive, feel like it matched the one at home. Enter Tiny Prints Flashy Bash Thank You card!

I actually made this at work, with things I have at work. Like red nail polish...don't ask (wink). It adorns my "office" "wall" and is joined by other inspirational messages and images. The card is made from a nice thick cardstock and the matte finish means I can write on it without too much trouble. And this is just the backside! Wait until you see the front! (I will have a post dedicated to these Tiny Prints cards on Monday...a gratitude project...)
