Instagram Round Up

Heres a look at these past weeks Instagram round up 

My friend Teresa has been a great Catch Her Dreaming supporter. She's taken some of our product pictures and here she's in one of the bows you can find here on our shop.

 I've been obsessed with Target One Spot! They have so many cute items and most are only $1. I love the quality and designs. 

 I was tagged for #wid ( What I'm Doing)  and this is basically what my morning look like with a cup of coffee on the side of course. 

I love our new Catch Her Dreaming Packaging. This package went off of someone special who moved to New York. Our warm beanies and scarves are perfect for cold weather.

Glitter Letter Sign Diy

 As the new year starts I wanted to share with you all a diy project that can motivate you in this year. I decided to choose the word Dream to go into my room. Let this new year be filled with dreams coming to life. As my pastor always mentions "If you are going to dream, you might as well dream big" Not long ago was Catch Her Dreaming was only an idea, and although I still see huge plans for Catch Her Dreaming, I'll never stop dreaming, hence the name of this blog. So this year I want you to not be afraid and to believe your dreams will come to pass. It may not all happen the way you want or right at this moment but there will be progress. I look back to see how far I've come with Catch Her Dreaming and although it may not be what I expected, it's far beyond an idea on a page of a notebook. With that said, here's how you make this Glitter Dream sign:

You will need cardboard letters, you can make them or buy them I found mine at Hobby Lobby and got each letter on sale for only $1. You will also need glitter, and a spraypaint, gluestick, and a sponge. 

Pick out the letters you want for your sign and spray paint them the color of your choice.

Allow the letters to dry a few hours before starting this next step. 

Apply glue in small sections over the letters this way the glue doesn't dry too fast.

Next sprinkle the glitter over the letters and spread with the sponge going over the glue. Repeat this until you cover the entire letters.

Some areas might look patchy you can go over them with more glue or leave it as it is. 

Since the letters don't come with a wall hanger I made my own using a small piece of ribbon and a push pin. 

I hung my sign over my dream/inspiration board. I hope you make your own sign and if you do please tag us on instagram @catchherdreaming we would love to see! Happy New Year and  

Until next time!

DIY Ribbon Bookmark

Here's a quick little last minute DIY just in time for gift wrapping all those Christmas presents. This ribbon bookmark adds an extra touch to any gift weather it id for Christmas or all year round. 

You will be needing a glue gun and wired ribbon of your choice. (Make sure it is wired that way the ribbon is easier to manipulate.)

Fold and overlap the ribbon over and over again until you get a desired look and glue down.You can make it as long as you would like. I used a book to measure the size I wanted mine to be. 

Once you are done gluing you can leave it as is or you can glue a piece of cord to the back of the bookmark and add it to a tag like below. You can also cut the end of the ribbon to finish off the bookmark however you want. You can make many different colors and styles to match any occasion.

Make your own gift-wrapping bow wreath

If you are like me and are not done decorating for Christmas, you will love this simple and inexpensive bow wreath! It's perfect to add a little holiday cheer to your home or office. 

You will need gift wrapping bows, a floral wreath (I found mine at a dollar store), and a glue gun. 

Place the bows in whatever order you will like and then grab your glue gun and glue them into place. You can go ahead and add bows to the sides or inside if you would like. Then you will be done! You can mix and match patterns or follow one color scheme. Be sure to #catchherdreaming if you make your own so we can see it! Follow us on instagram @catchherdreaming

Good reads

If you have not heard of the book The Promise of a Pencil then here is a chance for you to learn a little more about it. It is a really amazing and inspiring story of Adam Braun founder of Pencils of Promise. This For-purpose organization helps build schools in different countries around the world providing education to those who do not have the opportunity. Adam's story is so amazing and kept me from putting the book down. Adam knew his life had a greater purpose than the life he was living before and decided to take the first step and make his dreams become a reality.

 This book has inspired me in so many ways and it makes me want to go out write my own story,  and make an impact.  This book had me thinking that if Adam would have given up on his dream he wouldn't have made the impact he has. This book is full of amazing quotes and by the end of the book you will feel so inspired to do more in life, to walk with purpose. 

I loved this quote from Howard Thurman found in the first few pages in the book. 

Hope you all check out the book and I hope it inspires you also to write your own story. 

California Lovin

Summer where have you gone? I can't believe fall is right around the corner! I am definitely ready for sweater weather! Here's a quick recap of our recent trip  to California

We visited the Ventura County Fair. there's one thing you need to know about us is that we LOVE county fairs! Everything about them is awesome! We love the food, animals, just the whole experience! We stopped by and watched two horse shows.

Later we ended up at out favorite place ever and that's the Beach! 

Ventura Beach is so peaceful there's not a lot of tourist or people. The day was pretty gloomy but it was perfect!

 If you ever visit Acton California, you must stop by at Blum Ranch. This place is so beautiful. They sell peaches, figs, and other fresh fruit. They also have jams and  honey. And they even have filmed some movies and shows there!

It was such a beautiful trip and although it was a short trip we did get to do a lot of things. Hopefully we get to go back real soon! Hope you all are enjoying the last  days of summer! Follow us on Instagram @catchherdreaming
