Fresh Color

These are some of my recent pins. I'm a huge fan of this color, when I see it I feel clean, energized, and yet at peace because of its cool nature. It's interesting to see which colors different people are drawn to and why.


Which colors do you gravitate towards? What covers your Pinterest board? How does that color make you feel and why do you love it so much? Think about it!

Food Pins Mood Board!

I'm a lover of mood boards, and I'm a lover of food. Lately I've been pinning so many delicious
looking food recipes! If only I had all the time in the world to bake...

Here is a little food-mood board for ya. All the links to the recipes can be found down below.

I figure if I don't have time to bake, maybe someone out there does, and I can live vicariously
through their baking extravaganzas...



You can find awesome food recipes on this amazing pin board and this one too- as well as my own,
where I constantly post yummy treats I will bake one day. I will... Just you wait...

So here are the recipe links! Look at the number on the photo of the treat you want to bake, and
click on the match below to be magically taken to the recipe!

1 // Cinnamon Roll Cookies
2 // Lemon-Scented Pull Apart Coffee Cake
3 // Baked Apple Rings
4 // A Cup of Coffe Cake. (In Five Minutes no less!)
5 // No Bake Vanilla Cake Chocolate Truffles
6 // Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

Real Life Inspiration Boards!

So I went on and on yesterday about being who you are and going for it. Staying inspired and
believing in your non-perfect human self.

Another thing that can help spur on that newly inspired self is a real life inspiration board!
We live in a world where inspiration is all over the internet. With sites like Pinterest, Tumblr,
and thousands of inspiration blogs, we are surrounded by digital inspiration boards- so
sometimes its nice to have one in real life. You can touch it, paint it, throw glitter on it, whatever.
Super fun times.

I got inspired to do my own inspiration board after seeing this post on The Glitter Guide about
the Ban.do offices. You have to check out their beautiful space! Pretty awesome, right?
After seeing that amazing wall they have, I went crazy through a ton of magazines I've
collected over time, and tore out anything that stood out to me. Images, textures, patterns,
type, you name it. I took some tape, a few bulletin boards, and covered the wall.
Here's a view of my table in the middle of mad tearing...




Staying inspired isn't easy, but it helps to be in an inspiring work place. I'm still in the process of
making mine work, but even with just a few magazine clippings on the wall, my work
space is so much more fun to be in!

Oh oh totally almost forgot that I have something reeeally exciting to share with you...
Next week will be the launch of the official Waterfall Creative! Woot woot! But thats not the exciting
part. The exciting part is we have some awesome giveaways lined up to celebrate! There is going
to be one here, on this blog tomorrow. Same time. Same place.

Tomorrow the wonderful ladies Courtney and Angela are giving away a piece of jewelry from their
jewelry shop, Angel Court Jewels! This isn't something you want to miss out on :) You can check out their site today, and come back tomorrow to win yourself some beautiful bling! Oh and did I mention that celebs like Ashley Olsen, Lauren Conrad, even the guys from the band Hinder are wearin this stuff? Cause they totally are!
So check back here tomorrow for a chance to win a piece from their collection!

Happy Thursday friends!

DIY Times

Decorating and putting together our house has made me really start looking at home DIY projects like never before. Even things like how to store cans better in your pantry are now helpful to me! (Use a magazine holder) Nolan and I both love to cook, (he's better) and come up with fun ways to have our home be functional while looking good. Its so much fun coming up with ideas together, and it doesn't hurt that he is so handy and can actually accomplish a lot of the ideas we come up with.

Here are some fun homey projects I've found on my web inspiration journeys.

Crock Pot Dinners: So simple, but so great to do and have. You can just grab a bag in the morning before heading to work and not worry about spending money on lunch! Home late and no time or money for dinner? Open up a bag- its always tasty and convenient!

Mason Jar Herb Garden: Great decoration while being functional. Better Homes and Gardens says that virtually any herb can be planted in a mason jar- and its always fresh ready for use when cooking. I'm definitely making a few of these for our kitchen :)

Vintage Chair Shelf: Not sure if we would ever put these up in our house, but it just goes to show how creativity and using what you have around can go a long way. I think something like this would be really cute in a garden area holding plants, gardening gloves and watering cans.

So much inspiration and fun to be explored. All it takes is a little time and determination to add these fun little touches to your home.
