Desktop for August

I love this quote and it reminds me so much of Jenny. This is the desktop for August, er mid-August, make that late August rather. You can grab this for your desktop background along with a 5x7" print and bookmark printable on the PRETTYblog.

July better late than never

July's desktop and printable (5x7" print and bookmark) are up on the PRETTYblog today!

June 2015

June is here; has been for a week. In Denver we skipped spring, it felt like, and it seemed as if February lasted for three months. So to say that June is a welcome sight is an understatement!

June's digital desktop quote and printable (5x7" print and bookmark) are available over the PRETTYblog today! Enjoy!

February 2015

Wait, what? It's February? Already?! Why yes, yes it is.

Just like last month (and for each month this year), I am collaborating with my friend Jenny to bring you a desktop image and printable (5x7" print and bookmark). February's design, inspired by Robert Frost's, "The best way out is always through..." is up and available for download on the PRETTYblog now. Head over to her blog to get it!

january 2015

This year, each month, I will be collaborating with my dear friend Jenny to bring you a desktop background, 5x7" print, and bookmark printable each month (similar to the calendars I did for Blog a la Cart in 2013).

Each month, I will create a design around a quote that speaks to me ... Jenny will make the designs and printables available on her blog.

I was a little slow getting going this month, so January's went live on Jenny's blog, the PRETTY blog, yesterday. You can get the image above for your desktop background, and you can download a printable PDF that has the 5x7" print and bookmark.

This quote really spoke to me for the journey I am currently on with my family. It seemed especially appropriate for January, a time where we tend to reflect on the year past and make plans, cement hopes, and craft dreams for the year ahead. I try to live present, enjoy the present, and not live in the future at the expense of appreciating the now. That can be difficult. And, this quote makes a good point about all that. We don't know what our future holds; sometimes everything turns out how we expect it to, but other times it doesn't. Those other times can turn out to be so much better than we ever imagined.

So, this quote acts as a reminder to me ...
