Hello Winter!

Published on January 17, 2022January 16, 2022 by Jen Manis

Most of the U.S. is getting a decent amount of snow right now… I guess winter is finally here. At least Juniper the snow bunny is enjoying it next to her washi stack. 😁

Stay warm!

Welcome Back to my Blog!

Published on April 13, 2020April 7, 2020 by Jen Manis

As I mentioned in my post from Easter, I am excited to get back into blogging, especially right now when so much is going on in our world. I want to bring a little distraction to all that news and get back into crafting and photographing and sharing it all.

As a little re-introduction, I am Jen, and I have been a scrapbooker since 2006. I joined the online scrapbooking world in 2008, and I was so excited to find others like me who love photos and paper!

I started my decorative planning journey in 2015. Again, what a great community the planning community is as well! That’s what this blog is all about. I hope you enjoy your time here with me!

My happy place! 🙂

Visit my new blog!

It’s LIVE!!

I created a new blog, called With Grace and Feathers, because I’m starting a new chapter of my life, and my blog should reflect that. It’s not “done”, but it’s up & running, and please ignore any bugs. I’ve added several new posts there, so check it out if you would! 😊

{sneak peek}

I have a new vision for my blog, but don’t worry, I’m leaving this one right here for future inspiration. I’ve been learning to leave my old “baggage” behind, and while blog posts may not be considered baggage to some, it’s best for me to start fresh after 10 years.

I hope you’ll join me in this new adventure and visit often!

New York in Bloom Book

Published on March 25, 2019March 20, 2019 by Jen Manis

Hello there! Today I just wanted to share a gorgeous new book I purchased from Georgianna Lane. Her floral photography is I think my absolute favorite ever. I loved her Paris in Bloom book from 2017, and when I saw that a new book was coming out, I had to order it. 💞I bought it directly from her Etsy shop. She signed it, and it came with a couple photo goody extras. Here’s a peek inside the book…It’s thoughtfully laid out and pure eye candy. It’s so inspiring and makes me want to get out and take all the flower pictures I can!Here are the first two books in this series- London in Bloom is out next!Thanks for stopping by!

She just loves dressing up!Looks good enough to eat (but don’t because it’s not real!!).Bold pink baubles!Thanks for stopping by today!

Winter Craft Space

Published on January 30, 2019January 27, 2019 by Jen Manis

After the holidays, I always get in the mood to rearrange my craft space. I guess it’s because after all the Christmas decor is gone, I suddenly feel like I have tons of room! I also like to give everything a big cleaning. Here’s a look at some of my favorite spots in my room, along with a few new storage pieces.I found this cute eyelash pen holder at TJ Maxx. It’s perfect to display my Planner Society pens.Some Valentine washi peeking out…I also picked up this acrylic storage unit at TJ Maxx. It has four small drawers and two larger ones. It’s filled with Planner Society goodies, from patches to sticky notes to washi.Some rose gold accessories…Hope you enjoyed this little tour!
