Little Mousie Creations

Take time to be still today. Listen to the sounds of nature. The birds and the wind. Be still.... Prepare a warm drink. Snuggle up with a cozy sweater. Sit in the quiet and calm. Inhale + Exhale. Let the gentleness soothe you, And the stillness consume you. __________ I needed these words before busyness consumed me first. I needed the reminder to take time to rest. Are there any specific actions you take to help ease your days that feel chaotic? I need a go-to list. : Intertwined by Bella See more

See that stone in the middle? Did you know that shining multi-faceted stone is you? And surrounding you is your radiance, which bursts outward like rays of sunlight beaming through backlit trees. A brightly glowing infectious light. A light that is always there, even when your thoughts attempt to dim it. A light that is fully seen, even when you yourself do not see it.... When you step forward into your light, you are standing firm in who you are and in turn, you inspire confidence to the people surrounding you. So, if you’re feeling any amount of self doubt today, I am with you. Take a moment to redirect thoughts, to breath deeply, to read these words and allow them to sink in. I am seeing you and hearing you and giving you space to speak. If you feel this & think others do too, share it with them. If you need to talk, I’m here. . . . . . #peopleoverpromotion #findingyourfearless #crushyourfears #liveauthentic #solovelysofree #youbelong #mybeautifulmess #youareenough #presentoverperfect #bedeeplyrooted #dearwomanmovement #creativityfound #mentalhealth #whatyoudontsee #endthestigma #communityovercompetition #makersmovement #creativecommunity #risingtidesociety #dreamersanddoers #howyouglow #womenwithambition #thisisnewsong #learningselflove #conqueringselfdoubt #womenempoweringwomen See more

Why yes, that is my husband’s hand holding up a random houseplant. Because when I went to photograph this print, it needed a touch of greenery. So, I called him over and in my sweetest voice, batting my lashes, asked him to please hold up the plant while I get a decent photo. What a supportive man he is. Anywhooo... currently posted in Instagram stories are some items up for grabs, including this print here. A portion of profits from the items that sell this weekend and the entire holiday season will be going to both Everytown for Gun Safety and any way I can try to support those impacted by the recent fires in Ventura County.

I know I’m not the only one who wonders how it is already to this month and already time for the holiday season. It’s funny how every year, when we get to this point, I am shocked at how quickly the past 10 months have gone by. And funny that I say now how I am totally going to plan well for Christmas gifts, yet there are always some that fall to the last minute... One thing is for certain though we will be shopping handmade again this year. And it is something I d...o encourage you all to consider doing as well. I will do my very best to share other small businesses too! I know... there are many stores out there that are ALREADY releasing black friday deals, but really, at what point do we stop calling it that? Anywho... I will be having a holiday sale over on Instagram starting November 10th, so if you’ve had your eye on any Little Mousie creations, you’ll want to mark your calendars and definitely make sure you are following along over there! Many of the items in the sale are limited quantity and although very special to me, I will not be recreating them again. EEP! www.instagram.com/littlemousiecreations See more

There’s been a Friday tradition of introducing yourself over on Instagram, which I realized I don’t often do even though I write a lot about myself in my captions. It’s usually pretty real around here, but I figured we could talk about some basic facts. My name is Erika, with a K, but don’t feel bad if you’ve ever spelled it Erica or Ericka or Airykah. Okay, I don’t think anyone has spelled it as wild as that last one, but I often have family members that still spel...l it wrong so it’s all good. I am the owner, maker, admin assistant... all the things behind Little Mousie Creations. My grandparents gave many of their grandkids nicknames and Little Mousie was mine. I live in Southern California with my husband, Ryan (@fmbeerchats) and our two pups, Kaden & Kai. We dream about living in a different state because we dislike sun and love snow. I am a multifaceted creator so I recently moved all the services I offer over to what used to be my personal IG account, @erikacamille. You can follow along over there for anything related to photography & design! Well, there I am... in photo form and some written words and I would love to get to know you too in the comments... What are some basic facts about you? I’ll be hanging out on social media for a little bit and I’d love to chat! . . . . . #peopleoverpromotion #findingyourfearless #crushyourfears #liveauthentic #solovelysofree #youbelong #mybeautifulmess #youareenough #presentoverperfect #bedeeplyrooted #dearwomanmovement #creativityfound #gracebellecommunity #meetthemaker #fridayintroductions #communityovercompetition #makersmovement #creativecommunity #risingtidesociety #contentcreators #dreamersanddoers #howyouglow #womenwithambition #thisisnewsong #learningselflove #selfdoubt #womenempoweringwomen See more
