It’s normal to look ahead this time of year. Whether that means prepping to host Christmas with the family at your house or checking off all the gifts for your loved ones even before Halloween, it’s perfectly normal to plan ahead. But I want to challenge us (especially, those of us who hustle for tomorrow like it may never come—I’m talking to myself here) to focus on spending this holiday season in the right now. In the who-cares-if-your-inbox-is-overflowing-emails-can-wait-’til-the-morning, RIGHT NOW. It’s not always easy, but it’s definitely worth it. What are you most looking forward to being fully present for this season? _ Silhouette of sweet little @megan22’s daughter from earlier this year! I thought a photo of a little one best represented why I want to be present this year! . . . #yournewfriendsam #samallencreates #shoplocal #shopsmall #smallbusiness #smallbusinesslove #smallbizlife #creativeentrepreneur #etsyonsale #etsy #etsycommunity #etsyseller #etsyshop #etsyshopowner #etsyfinds #etsygifts #christmasgift #christmasgiftidea #papercut #papercutsilhouette #Christmaspresent #holidaypresent #holidaygifts #silhouette #papersilhouette #paperart #papercraft #papercutting #handlettering #christmasgift Can I give you something? We can all get behind the idea of giving, even if the reason is arbitrary, so with that said, I’m excited to tell you that all December, when you sign up for my email list you will receive a 10% off coupon code to be used in my Etsy shop (and a free printable Christmas menu)! It’s my gift to you, Merry Christmas!

Whenever these milestone roll around, I can't help but reflect on what God has done in mine and my family's lives with this little shop of mine. I never want these posts to come off braggy, and I always think at some point I will stop sharing the milestones. But the more I thought on not sharing, the more I thought about how this shop is not MY accomplishment, but it's GOD'S. From Day One, I gave this idea to God. Whatever would happen would be God's work and He has truly blessed it. Being able to run my shop full time has just been such a miracle... being able to make my own schedule and run off to Disneyland with my toddler; being home for snuggles and stories before naptime; the amazing collaborations and new creative friends... so much has been made possible through opening this shop almost 6 years ago. It's amazing what God can do with a willing heart and open hands. I may not know what the future holds, but for now, I am ever so thankful that God has continued to bless us and open up some amazing doors in our lives! . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #etsy #etsyseller #etsysellersofig #etsysellersofinstagram #shopsmall #shopsmallbiz #watercolorletterings #brushcalligraphy #watercolorartist #watercolor #watercolorpainting #etsysuccess #meetthemaker #socalartist #watercolorartist #communityovercompetition #creativeentrepreneur #creativepreneur #girlboss #calligrafriends #watercolorflowers #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #createdtocreate #christiancreative #watercolorwreath #watercolorflorals When the request for lettering this quote came across my email... I did a little happy dance in my heart because it's one of my favorite sayings of all time. For starters, it reminds me of the movie UP, but I also find it the perfect quote for a wedding. As an engaged couple, you truly have no idea what God has in store for your future but you are confident in one thing: that this person is who you will be spending this grand adventure of life with. ✨ I loved that @kayladenae invited me to collaborate on this engagement shoot and I can't wait to share more of the beauty with you all! Swipe to see more of the love! _ Photographer: @kayladenae // Floral Design: @susansfloraldesign // Hair: @nadiaroseg // Makeup: @crystal.goldenglowbeauty // Calligraphy: @samallencreates . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #newlyengaged #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #weddingday #weddingideas #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #weddingcalligrapher #weddinginvitations #weddingstationery #dailydoseofpaper #styledshoot #brushcalligraphy #brushlettering #watercolor #watercolorwedding #engagementsession #engagementphotos #bigbearwedding #pendrawing #handdrawnflorals #isaidyes #ringshot #2019wedding #2019bride #shesaidyes
