"You can be whatever you want to be, as long as you believe in yourself"

Growing up, I often heard the phrase "you can be whatever you want to be as long as you believe in yourself." The older I got the less I found this to be relevant in my life. I have always wanted to be my own boss, make my own hours and own my own business but the older and wiser I got the more it became a fantasy... until Christmas.

My older sister, DeAnna ("EE") & I both got machines, and we began our own endeavor into the world of business. EE had gotten herself an embroidery machine before I got my cameo but the dream was there from the start, creating things that people would cherish. For a while, we both sold items when we realized that what most customers wanted was a little bit of both. After some hardcore brainstorming sessions, tons of bad jokes and puns we came up with a wonderful business: Sew it or Stick it! Together, we took on this journey and it has been nothing but rewarding. We both spend hours creating, imagining and brainstorming ways to make our business the best. Although we may be small, we have a lot to offer.

With fall and Halloween coming up, we have been finding new ways to make monograms more unique and to allow the customer to help us in our expansion process. One of our customers introduced us to "monogram toppers" and we have a been making pumpkin monograms every day since we launched our fall products!

Pictured above is my go-to fall outfit! I absolutely love my pumpkin monogram, paired with my tribal LulaRoe leggings, Swank Co booties and of course, STARBUCKS. Nothing says "fall" better than this outfit!

Another one of my favorite toppers, the witch hat! We just released this monogram topper and it is definitely a beauty, this picture doesn't do it justice! It is perfect and just in time for Halloween!

Finally, what is Halloween without an awesome costume?? I may be biased, but these costumes are "sew" cute. My favorite part about them is, since we posted this picture, so many people have asked for it and each person wants them modified a little different to make it their own.

I really love owning my own business and working alongside my talented sister. One of my favorite things about this business is, it is all about family. Everyone of my family members has helped out in some way and I cannot wait to see where the future takes Sew it or Stick it!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
