Simple Fall Mantle

 Sometimes less is more...

"Simplify" has continued to be a theme for us this year...

Life in a box

where have my blogging posts gone?

...for the past three months I have been wrapping my head 

around the "beauty" of relocating an entire household.

I have somehow managed to pack up my creativity in one of the boxes.

Maybe its in this one...?

Here's my attempt at making cardboard look good...

To save a little on the extraordinary cost of a cross country move,  we are packing everything ourselves...and since DH is already in location,
 that means just me.
To make sure it was a task I could manage without getting overwhelmed,
I have been packing 2-3 boxes everyday since March
 and purging and selling things.
It has literally become a full time job!

So here's some fun "before" and afters....

Simplify for 2015

sim·pli·fy
a :  to reduce to basic essentials

b :  to diminish in scope or complexity

----------------------------------------------------

A trend in blog-land is to find a word
to focus on throughout the year,
instead of making resolutions....

I love this idea....
A word for the year provides a simple way
to reference everything you do
and carries a wonderful intentional theme.
