THE NEW BLOG IS LIVE!!


Time for the big blog reveal!! As I said in my previous post, I have made the
decision to stop blogging on My Own Road and team up with my sister-in-law,
Shannon, to start a new blog (more details in my post if you have any
questions.) Now that the blog design is done, I can finally give you more
details!

The new blog is called eat. sleep. MAKE., and it's a collaborative creative
effort between Shannon and I to bring you even more great projects and
tutorials. We had the awesome privilege to work with Melisa of Pie in the Sky to
design our new blog for us, and we are SO thrilled with how it turned out!


Shannon and I have both been in love with coral and gray, as well as the
southwestern trend that's been going on for awhile, and Melisa did an amazing
job combining both of our styles and tastes to create a gorgeous design that
fits both of us perfectly.






On top of having a brand new blog and design, we also have active Pinterest,
Facebook, and Twitter accounts so you can follow us and stay connected with
everything going on with eat. sleep. MAKE. I hope you'll come follow us at
eatsleepmake.com because we just might have an amazing giveaway coming up soon
for all of our followers full of some really cool stuff we both made. You don't
want to miss it!

And check it out, we even have sweet new buttons now:

If you want  to share the love, please feel free to copy and paste the html code
in the box below the image to your blog!

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I won't be posting on My Own Road anymore,
but it will stay open so that you can still enjoy my past posts and tutorials. I
will be posting updates here for a short while to let you know what we're up to
on eat. sleep. MAKE just in case you haven't made the official transition to
follow us there yet.


Thank you all SO much for supporting My Own Road for the past 2 1/2 years! I
have made a lot of new friends and really grown as a blogger and a person. I
hope you'll come follow Shannon and I on eat. sleep. MAKE. and check out all the
great new stuff we have for you!

BIG NEWS!!




 I've been hinting around about my big news, and I can finally let the cat out
of the bag! You may remember how I've talked about my sister-in-law, Shannon,
here on my blog. She's the one who taught me how to sew, and she's also
personally responsible for half of my wardrobe (some of the clothes she gave me
I posted about here and here). She has amazing fashion sense and mad skills in
home decoration, which I am sadly lacking in. On top of all that, I was also
lucky enough to have her guest post back in June of 2011 for my Button Down
Rehab series when she shared her tutorial for how to make a Pillow Monster.

We've been talking for awhile now about how much fun it'd be to start a blog
together, so we did! I can't go into too much detail just yet (or even reveal
the name!) because the final touches are being added as we speak, but I'll make
sure to give you the full reveal as soon as I can! Until then, I'll reveal our
main photo we took for the front page of the new blog. Please disregard my
horrible posing. I'm working on it ;)






I'm sure you've noticed that things have been slow lately, but it's because
Shannon and I have been working our butts off for the past few months on new and
unique content. So while I've been continuing to write here on My Own Road, I've
also been working overtime on a ton of new projects and recipes that I can't
wait to share with you guys! Thing I'm most excited about is that together,
Shannon and I will be able to offer you SO much more content since we'll be
blogging together. And it won't be just sewing and kids stuff, our new blog will
be focused on sharing everything we love from parties to fashion, home
decoration, and DIY's.


Now...


What can you expect on the new blog? is an even better version of what this blog
has become. Shannon's fashion sense, home decor tips and design along with my
craft background and kid-centered projects means that we're going to be able to
offer a lot more diversity and projects to our readers. You can expect to see a
lot more DIY projects each week, along with plenty of recipes, kid stuff,
crafts, and tips for how to make the most of your wardrobe. 

What does that mean for My Own Road? It was an extremely hard decision to make,
but I ultimately decided to stop writing on My Own Road so that I can focus
solely on the new blog. I have had SUCH a great time blogging on My Own Road for
the past 2 1/2 years and learned so much in the process so this decision feels a
bit like giving up a child, but it's time for me to start a new chapter in my
life.

The primary reason why I decided to start a new blog with Shannon is because I
wanted to have more time to spend with my family instead of feeling the constant
pressure to blog and do projects all the time. I love to create, but coupled
with 2 kids and a full-time job, it started to become more of a chore than a
creative outlet. Around March, I began to really feel burned out and almost gave
up this blog altogether. Shannon and I talked about it, and starting a new blog
together became the perfect way for me to continue expressing myself creatively
while still having plenty of time for my family because ultimately, they are
what really matters.


While I'll no longer be posting new content on My Own Road, it will stay open
infinitely so that you can still enjoy my past projects and access my tutorials
and freebies. For awhile, I'll also be posting some updates and pictures here of
what we're sharing over at the new blog in case you haven't yet made the
transition yet to follow us there.


I REALLY hope you'll all stick with me when I make the official transition to
the new blog. I've loved getting to know each and every one of you, and Shannon
and I look forward to being able to offer even bigger and better (and more!)
things with you on our new blog.
