Introducing the Creating This Life Shop
September 3, 2019 Filed Under: About the Blog, Shop
I’m excited to tell you about something new here at Creating This Life: the Creating This Life Shop! When I blog about something, I often get questions about where I found it.

Warning: If you’re still hanging onto the last bit of summer by your fingernails, you’re going to want to skip this post. Fall lovers, however, proceed with absolutely no caution.
