I’ve been loving burlap & gray together recently : ) Both fabrics have worked their way into several projects around the downstairs that I’ve been working on at the same time. This first craft is incredibly simple, made fancier of course by my Silhouette. I simply cut a cardboard box in half, wrapped it in … Continue reading »
Welcome to a new, summery version of town{homemade} I felt it was time for a change… This project came to life because the words I chose to decorate with are the chorus of a hymn I sing to Abbie almost every time I lay her down to sleep. It is my prayer that she grows … Continue reading »
Happy Mother’s day to my mom and mom in law : ) You both are such wonderful ladies that Stephen and I are so blessed to have as moms. {Old Newspaper Types font} These words were printed on to my stationary using my Silhouette’s sketch pens. {Janda Apple Cobbler font} {Patterns & Dots font} She’s … Continue reading »

Recently I’ve been asked to do a couple projects for some sweet friends : ) such an honor. The first project that I’ll share may look familiar, if you’ve been reading along for a while. My since-I-can-remember-friend, Debbie, was given the same type of jars that I’d labeled for our kitchen, by a friend of her’s. … Continue reading »
So this post comes later than I had figured that it would, because my Valentine surprised me by taking off work halfway through the day : ) Needless to say, but I will, the day did not go as I had originally planned, but in fact much better : D I love you, Stephen! And … Continue reading »
