March is here! It's going to be one of those crazy-busy-full-of-wonderful months, I predict. ;) I'm so excited to share with you some new features coming to A Beautiful Mess this month. This blog is my baby (i really feel that way) and over the past 6 months our readership has grown and grown! It's an honor and I am so excited to put even more effort and love into this blog. My goal is for it to be an inspiring place for all of my creative kindred spirits!
recently, i've had an overwhelming desire to make cupcakes. i've decided to turn it into a new weekly blog feature so we can all enjoy them together... ♥

A Beautiful Mess Blog Contributors
I am extremely excited to announce a new team of writers here at A Beautiful Mess. The new contributors will share one DIY project and one Style Crush feature each month. That means that (in addition to my regular project postings) we will now have double the amount of DIY projects, starting this week! These contributing writers will be a part of the blog for the next four months. They are full of positivity, enthusiasm and fresh perspective. I'm excited to welcome them...
Amanda Johnson of Here's Looking at Me Kid has gorgeous vintage inspired style and one of the coolest homes I've ever seen! She loves scrapbooking, thrifting and design.
Promise Tangeman Wurzell is a designer and artist with an eye for remaking everyday objects. She has amazing style, crazy photography skills and tons of personality!
Alec Vanderboom is one of my favorite photographer pals! He has cool and quirky style with a lightheartedness that is contagious. So excited to have a guy-with-style's perspective here on the blog!
Amy Cluck is as sweet as sugar! Her style is charming, colorful and full of cute. She is full of creative energy and fun ideas... it's inspiring!
Sarah Lockhart is a new mom with a natural eye for pretty things. She has great taste and fun ideas for little cuties! I'm so happy she's going to be a part of my blog.
The last new weekly feature I'll be adding to the schedule is an indie artist spotlight! I feature independent artists' work here often, but this new feature will be a more in-depth review (with lots of photos!) of new artists, designers and occasional bands who have caught my attention. It's all about sharing the love & supporting art I believe in! ♥
I'm over-the-moon excited about all of the new things happening here. Welcome to a new week! XO, elsie
oh wow. sooo exciting! looking forward to all new inspiration! :)
