Collaboration: Neatloaf Blog
Well, one blog just isn’t cuttin’ it for me these days! I will be contributing on a blog called Neatloaf on Wednesdays. Check out my first post today! Gifts under $25.
Welcome!
Who the heck?
I know, we’re pretty new and we go by Sparky & Marie! Sparky & Marie is a brand that designs prints and patterns for stationery, textiles, scrapbooking, accessories, and much more.
Sparky & Marie are actually my real life grandparents. Sparky is short for Spartaco, and Marie is simply Marie. They are two of the strongest, most loving, and supportive people I know. I couldn’t think of better inspiration.
Another Blog?
Yes, I know. However, if you’re a home lover, craft lover, life lover, design lover, or just an all around lover of creativity, then stick around. I promise, this won’t be a total drag!
What will you be blogging about?
Of course. What will we be blogging about!?!
Well now, on Mondays we will blog on the subject of creative inspiration: design, nature, travel, sketch books, people, and much more.
Wednesdays will be all about maintaining balance in life and work. These posts will be short and sweet – quotes, lists of things, and ideas for keeping balance.
Then, on Friday we will post about getting your craft on. I’m not the world’s best crafter (no t-shirt for me), but I love creating things using scissors, paper, paint, glue, and fabric. Fridays will feature simple craft tutorials and reviews of hip little shops, online or in your neighborhood, that might offer craft classes and/or supplies (we would even love your help on this one).
How can you contribute?
Your participation is always welcome! Please share your comments (but keep them constructive, or they will be deleted), and if you have any questions, contact us HERE.
Up, up and away we go!
Michelle
