Before fall kicks off and we all go back to school it was a stay up late, craft night at Pilar’s house.

Don’t forget the cocktails and cookie butter cheesecake bites.

We used wood block sets to create messages that could be put on display in our homes.

Even though we are using essentially the same materials our personalities tend to shine, along with our favorite colors and creativity.

We went for inspiration and in typical fashion I was quickly overwhelmed by the color so went familiar with the all black.

It took me a long while to come up with a phrase to put on my blocks.

I settled on “Be Brave” as a gentle reminder for this upcoming season that feels new, scary, intimidating, and unpredictable.
