Just for fun...

My friend, Amy, is too cute. She had me create a business card for her & on the back add all her social networking sites. Because we all have more than one, these days...everyone needs to keep up! ;)

 

NEW Baby Announcements

Babies are in full bloom this summer. How special it is for me to be a small part of their little world by helping create an announcement of their arrival! I love it. Here are two new design layouts for you to view...

Some great quotes from mom's who've been inspired...

Thank you so much for posting this. I have wanted to be a sahm all my life and by God's grace it is my current occupation. There are many days when I really wonder what I was thinking. When the laundry piles threaten to take over the house and there isn't a clean dish left to eat off of it's easy to feel like a failure. It helps to remember that if I let the glorious override the mundane I'll never forget why God trusted me with the greatest job in the world. Thanks again!

Last week my 6 month old's diaper completely failed and half of his poop was on the carpet. While I was cleaning it up, my almost 3 year old said, "Mommy, does cleaning the poop make you happy?" I told her it did. I said it brings me joy. I quit my full time job to stay home with her about a year and a half ago. I sometimes think of all the poop that I do clean up and think, "This is my life?" But it is. It is what I wanted and I take joy in it.

I've always loved Christy Nockel, her music always brings me before the throne. I love her honesty and how beautiful a picture it is to allow God to be Glorified through changing diapers and mopping the kitchen floor. Isn't it what isn't all about, there's nothing we can do that can impress God, make Him love us more. Thanks for reminding us once again it's not about what we do, it's about how we do it. My my mundane glorify the one who created me.

What an awesome thing to hear at the end of a not so productive day! It seems like if I haven't accomplished some great act each day, I feel like I've not done enough! Each time these little thoughts of doubt creep in, I know in my heart I'm doing what's right for my family. However, it makes it seem like I have proof when I hear other mothers talk about their own lives. I needed to hear this and now I NEED this new CD! :)

Living in the mundane IS possible...

:: MOMS ::

All of us need a little encouragement now & again, right?! I have just the thing that will inspire & challenge you today. I am SO excited to finally reveal this AMAZING devotional video {part 1 of 2} from Christy Nockels. She has challenged me to invite the Glorious into the mundane which is an oh-so-powerful statement that I'm *attempting* daily to implement. The journey of motherhood can be solitary & mundane. I pray this message rejuvenates your soul...

Announcing Baby.

Logoville {part two}

I've been BUSY creating logos and I'm LOVING it! There's something about creating a brand identity for someone's business that makes me really happy. Working on more now, but here are a few new ones for you to check out......happy week to you, friends!! xx

Moving right along.

With each day comes new beginnings & that's always so refreshing. I love change...some resist it but I welcome it. One huge change is relocating your humble abode. Nowadays people resort to a quick email update, but I prefer the paper route. There's something about sending a postcard in the mail of where the new nest resides that is so warm & fuzzy. I love it.

Hello friends!

I can't believe tomorrow is JUNE...where has time gone?! WoW. Our summer (is it officially summer yet?) has been great so far. We've already driven to Chattanooga to check out the Aquarium, visited the Nashville Zoo this weekend and just purchased our son's FIRST kiddie pool today! I think he's pretty excited about it. Well, he will be anyways...this kid LOVES water!

So in the midst of the crazy events and getting over colds (the worst), I've managed to work in several designs...two of which are logos for photographers. Here are a couple new designs...many more on the way. I just wrapped up a baby announcement, so I'll post that up shortly too! I love me some new babies...SO cute!

I hope y'all enjoy your wEeK! Oh...I need to plug the new Christy Nockels record that streets this TUESDAY. I have some suprises coming your way in regards to this record...so stay tuned! :)

Got $1.00 to spare?

Good. I need you to go read this & give it {here}.
