its a good day

sometimes, it's the simple things in life.

i had a really good. quite productive if i say so myself. house cleaning, laundry, fabric store, banquet, home poster project and my little surprise i found when i came into my room. jaxson left me this little present.....(yes i know the chair is ugly, its a work in progress)

i love it when he leaves his very special cars in my room. i know he's been there, and hopefully thought about me and he remembers that i love him.

today we were riding in the car together, and things had been quiet for a few minutes and he looked over at me and said, "whut you finking about see-see?" [a question i ask him all the time when he's too quiet]. and i had the opportunity to tell him that i was thinking about how much i loved him and how i couldn't live with out him in my life and that he was so very special to me. and being three he smiled real big and giggled.

i couldn't help but laugh with him. it's the childlike mind of his that i love so much. it reminds me of how my relationship with Lord should be. how i should just be able to sit and listen to Him speak to me and giggle when He tells me He loves me. hmmm..........

that little boy is one the biggest blessings in my life. he has no idea the impact he's made on me. LOVE HIM.


i know today's picture was spectacular, but to me, it was priceless to find.

peace and love.

i know, i'm a slacker on the photo thing

so time officially gets away from me. i don't know where it goes, but it goes.

so i decided to show you a few of my pics as of late. i'll show you a few, to make up for the days i was a slacker :)



this is a pic of our youth just getting started in worship. opening tune, opening notes....trust me, they went there.


and something new......i love old logos and art work. this label is from my new needles - no, not the drug kind. for my free hand embroidery projects. yes, i tried it, and i LOVE it. it'll take some practice, but i really love the classic vintage looking embroidery and i really love the idea of mixing it with beads and other textures. i have tons of ideas. and i really love getting to use my hands for this project, as well as a different part of my brain....i think. the pic next to my logo is my first two tries. like i said, i'll get there.
















it'll take some time, and as in all things, there's something to learn. it's a little like gardening in a sense. its just you and this landscape and all you have are your thoughts. for me, a perfect time for the Lord to speak. over and over.

anyway...off to bed.

peace and love

commitment to photos

i decided today that i'm going to take pictures every day...of something my eye catches. so, i'll start today's post with a picture from an eventful dinner with my favorite three people last night - the two greatest parents in the world and one super sweet little guy. he was very excited to be giving kisses to his mommy last night. and i was more than happy to snap his picture.

i love you guys...completely
