I'm BACK!! What I've been up to & plans moving forward

"...and now HERE I AM. My work, home, and love life are good. I am flabbergasted and grateful and in awe of every single little piece of it. For the first time EVER in my life EVER I don't feel like I'm spinning out of control. For the first time EVER in my life EVER I feel like I'm still, facing the right direction, and standing with the right people. I am where I belong and who I belong there with. I set out at the beginning of this year with the phrase "Good Things are Going to Happen" and they've been happening, and I hope they continue to happen."

recent pins // JUNE 2015

sources // 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

These are some pinned images I've recently added to my Pinterest account. To look at them collectively, you can tell what mood I'm in and where my brain's been at. This might be my favorite recent pins post to date. So much happy, so much pink, so much to look forward to.

I've been continuing to feel excited yet calm, and am still in awe of the timeliness that everything's falling into place (knock on wood). It still strikes me as nothing short of a miracle. I've been pinning summer things and patterns. I've been pinning clear dining chairs and pink neon lights. Speaking of pink...EVERYTHING pink. It's my love color. It's my fervent 'dreams come true' color.  Also, my new boyfriend's birthday is next month, so you best believe I'm brainstorming now. (All the hearts and 'sweet on him' giggles.) So BOOM. June. Let the beat roll on...

Project Life 2015 // april

Hey, everybody! A new blog post of the April pages in my 2015 Project Life album is up on amandarosezampelli.com today! Click >> HERE << to check it out!

(Side note: I've been a busy busy bee, and have a lot to catch up on with work and projects. Not to mention a new apartment and new boyfriend, so life's been happily hectic. :) I goal in these coming months to handle my blog business, get more specific in the content I create, and hopefully grow with you all on this space and the website. Stay tuned!)

'Song on Loop' free planner printable

A new month, a new set of freebies I designed for me & my BIG ideas. I'm excited to share this free printable that documents the song that plays on repeat during the week. You know what I'm talking about -- sometimes it's the brand new Summer single you can't hear enough of, and sometimes it's one of your favorite oldies that your iPod brings back in shuffle (for me that song is "Dreams" by The Cranberries). Whichever song you're listening to on loop that week, you now have a design to stick in your planner and document it on!   They are available for FREE DOWNLOAD on the mambi blog HERE.

Head over, click the link, print the page, and cut them out! It's that simple! As you can see above, they're made to especially fit a box inside of the weekly columns of The Happy Planner™, but so cute to include on any jazzed up planner page. I also made the design in a variety of different colors, so they can easily coordinate with other embellishments. Enjoy!
