Every month, I attempt to try 3 new things. I’m happy to say that I succeeded last month and managed to send letters to friends/family, I went skinny dipping, AND finally got a grasp on video and editing. It was a good month and now I’m really excited for autumn and cooler weather.
Since I’m still on my spending freeze, I’ve stuck with doing things that won’t interfere with that:
- Create and post a video shot with my DSLR: I upgraded to a Canon T2i and am excited to shoot video with my new tripod!
- Host a swap party: Best way to get through the last month of my spending freeze? Get “new-to-me” stuff!
- Only buy produce from local farmer’s markets: I bought all of our week’s produce at the Grandview Farmer’s Market and plan to visit other local markets throughout the month!
Oh and if you haven’t noticed yet…my blog has a completely new look + name! If you’re curious as to why I chose to re-name it, check out my explanation here. I was never really attached to the name Show + Tell (I picked it impulsively when I switched to WordPress.org) and I’ve noticed a lot of other people using the phrase “show and tell” lately. I want to continually grow this space and it was time to pick something more meaningful. Let me know if you see any broken links/bugs/errors while clicking around!
In honor of this new look and start, I’m giving away a free blog re-design package (in WordPress) to one of my lovely readers! The package will include:
- Blog header design
- Social media/connect icons
- Customization of the Standard 2-column theme, horizontal navigation bar
- Web font + color customization
- Background
- Two rounds of revisions
Disclaimer: If you’re currently on Blogger, I can transfer your content to WordPress but cannot guarantee that your photos will maintain the correct width. Also, in order to maintain a WordPress.org blog, you must own a domain name + purchase a hosting package. I can help you do this but you will be required to pay for this.

I’m glad you like it! Good luck Tabitha!
The redesign is beautiful! I love the idea that this place might always be changing to fit what you love—I think that’s how it’s always been here. Always tweaking things, here or there. Soo glad to hear the freelancing is going so well!
Thank you Rachael!! That is exactly what I want this space to be like – thanks for the comment.
