CHEERS to 365 days of Adventure!

October 12, 2010

 
 
 
 
One year? Really?! Its been one year since I started my new adventure as a small business owner. My blog came just a week after! So its time to celebrate a few things:) What a snowball effect it has been this year…. I can only sit back and be amazed reflecting on how God can bless the smallest of efforts and allow them to surpass your wildest dreams! Moved from Atlanta to small town, KS and decided to keep the new beginnings going and start something new. I attended my first craft fair and started my etsy shop one week later!
 
I look at what was accomplished this year and thank God for allowing me to do something I love and pay off some loans in the process;) I look forward to this coming year with new goals and aspirations and can’t wait to see what the next mile marker will look like.
 
THANK YOU to each of you reading this who have supported the blog or business. I can’t tell you how many times it was the words of encouragement from a customer, friend, or reader that kept me going.
SO CHEERS to you!!
 
*I will be sponsoring a few giveaways to celebrate! Stay tuned!

Blog Crawl: Big City Dreams to a Small Town Reality

October 4, 2010


Thank you Beth for asking me to participate in this year’s blog crawl. This one really made me think! Trying to turn my life into an open book…intimidating! But somehow I had some major realizations come to mind! Here is a little snapshot of my life as an open book…..


The AUTHOR, The PLOT:


THE CHARACTERS:


The Plot CONTINUES….

Life will never slow down so you only have to make the most of each day that is given to you. 
I woke up recently to realize that if I die tomorrow I would die a happy person….
The things I love in life such as design, art, photography, food, fashion, travel, etc. etc. etc. are all things I would give up forever if I could just have my husband, children, family, and faith. Take those away and my life would be insignificant. Being in a small simple town and being cut off from many of my favorite things has given me this epiphany of sorts;) So I realize that if my life’s story read only these characters in its pages, it would be a book that I was proud of. 

Be sure and check out yesterday’s Blog Crawl post from The Alternative Wife and tomorrow’s story from La Bella Bungalow.

Thanks for reading my story:D



Color File: Hints of Crimson

October 1, 2010


I really love neutrals with pops of color. So, when I saw this spread on J.Crew, I swooned (as I usually do when visiting J.Crew). A subtle does of crimson is all you need to take your outfit up a notch.


We are blessed with a perfect weather weekend to bring in the first weekend of October! Happy Friday!
