Sometimes…I sit & am thankful for this blog because it forces me to have a timeline for my projects. Holidays sure sneak up on me. This is no exception. Somehow, carroline did not wind up with an Easter basket of her own last year, so this year I decided to fix that. I wanted something...
Today, when I needed to smile the most, I got mail. Not just any mail, Studio Mela mail. & it is perfect. Despite having the most emotionally taxing weekend of my life, I smiled. This is not a week that I am ever going to want to remember, but at least I can remember that...
Oh. Heavens. Thank you all for the kind comments, messages & emails. I am surrounded by some of the most wonderful women & I am so grateful to have you all in my life. Thank you for reading my blog & supporting me. We are not alone on this crazy journey…& I hope you know...
I am amazed at how much can be accomplished when I give myself the freedom to NOT be glued to the internet. After reading this (which I HIGHLY recommend taking the time to peruse!!) I was reminded that I needed to rest my typing fingers & start using my hands. I have started & finished...
MORE ideas than TIME…said the poster on pinterest. Oh-so-true these days. I have crafts & projects & all sorts of things to accomplish in the next few days. I have family coming into town & a hubby who has off & a little girl who deserves every ounce I can give her during this special...
I drink water & lattes. That is pretty much it. Occasionally an IZZE, Frappuccino or CFA milkshake (the peppermint is amazing, with light syrup!). But day to day–it’s water & coffee. I don’t really like alcohol. I have nothing against it, I just don’t like the taste. I haven’t had a drink since I got...
A while back I was topic hunting & someone suggested I offer up some tips on tasteful holiday decor. I love to decorate for the holidays. Making them special, fabulous & classy is something I work hard to do. There are some BEAUTIFUL decorations out there, but for every one that is beautiful, there is...
I come from a family of cooks. My mother cooks. My grandmother cooks. I inherited my love of cooking from all the women I watched prepare grand, from scratch meals for our family. It was always something they looked forward to & to sit down and enjoy a home-cooked holiday meal was my ‘normal.’ I...
Hi! Hello! I am Shawna, the founder of Styleberry Blog. This creative corner of the internet has become a learning haven for moms and creatives, offering a warm and encouraging nudge to those who wish to be better and do better, but often don't know where to start. From Decorating to DIY to Diapers and Paleo-ish Dishes, I strive to make the complicated simple and empower women to take action beyond their personal comfort zone. I subscribe to the Shine Theory & so strongly believe that we shine when the women around us shine and mutual support—lifting up instead of tearing down--will always be the culture here. Are you in? I hope so! Beyond the computer, I run Styleberry Creativewhere I work with clients to create low fuss, high function spaces that are pretty and practical in San Antonio, Texas and beyond. I LOVE making a house a home. My own studs out renovation is almost complete and I am now back to working with clients. Please don't hesitate to drop me a line if you'd like to work together! I hope you’ll join me on this fun new adventure! Xo.
