some things.

business is booming. i'm almost booked up 'til february! & i need to update my portfolio desperately. [the thought alone gives me the willys. on my to-do list though]. but how cute is the vanilla tulip's latest design? love her. chalkboard is the new chevron, ya'll :) i'm thankful for this gig. allows me to have eden tearing things apart at my feet. hah! and have some extra cash to buy a new bikini in the middle of winter. missing summer SO bad right now.


speaking of business. i got the itch to re-do the walls of my bedroom the other day. so without leaving the house, i whipped up a new print, moved some things around, & voila. fresh new space. you want to see the print, you say? you want it for yourself, you say? okay, fine. here you go. i was totally inspired by a few prints i purchased from caravanshoppe recently. 5 bucks? huge print from staples for cheap? done. [that's the problem with having your hands on so many cute fonts. you see something, & you're like, i could totally make that...but that would be copying..and..and..ahs well. for the record, i did not copy this print. lol. just the saying from pinterest. so there.] save this bad-boy on a cd or stick. take it to staples & ask them to print it on their large format b&w printer. will cost you a whopping 4 bucks. mine is 24x32." but you can print whatever size you like!
for personal use only. download here.
some horrible quality iphone pics, just so you can see it in action.
plus, i made my bed today. it needs to be documented.
what else? oh! my devotional this morning was so good. a few goodies from yesterday to chew on.
life with me is not immunity from difficulties, but peace in difficulties.
joy is the result of faithful trusting acceptance of my will, when it seems not joyous.
joy is the daughter of calm.
joy is the daughter of calm! i like that. so much.

praying for more calm in my life. and more joy.

and todays was about finding rest in the Lord.
rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him. psalm 37:7
God Calling. go get some. it's free!


and this.
so much to be thankful for.
even when my kids are still sick & i'm so stir crazy i could.....@#$%&!
even when i know i caught their stupid cold, but i'm in serious denial.
tim's finishing his last week of hazmat school this week. so happy!
and a&e go back to school on monday.
life is good. snotty, but good.

Hi! I found you via your home tour on Home Made Lovely. Just love your house and it was so sweet of you to provide links to where you found so many of your lovely things in your home! I also love the print that you made and are giving away here (I downloaded it :) Just curious - where did you get your frame? Did you have to get it custom framed for the 24x32 size? thank you!
