Do you save or screenshot all the things like I do? I seem to find inspiration everywhere and don’t trust myself to remember them! Today I thought it would be fun to share a mix of random saves from my phone, Instagram and Facebook.

What have you been screenshot-ing lately?
P.S. Etsy is having a big sales event this week and I’m sharing great deals as I find them over on my Facebook page. If you need ideas for gifts or a treat for yourself, I’m your gal!
My unsolicited advice- skip Every Note Played. It was awful. Seriously. Hated the characters, hated the story line. And I have loved every one of Lisa Genova's other books. I was so disappointed.
Oh no! I haven't read any of her books yet – I'll look into the other ones instead. Thanks for the heads up!
