Birds of a feather
I recently caught up again with my sweet photographer friend Cami Wade.
We met at Red Velvet Art for pictures & delicious cupcakes (thank you Elsie & Emma!)
and generally enjoyed ourselves in one of my favorite vintage shopping areas.. Commercial St.
Cami is the total picture of cuteness! I think I’m in love with her entire wardrobe. :)
My little fawn was proud to have his picture taken too *wink. He usually sits on a table in my living room.

Treasure
What does your heart treasure?
For us it’s an inspiring book, a special gift, a heart of gratitude for the ultimate gift.. God’s Son.
I also treasure my sisters and this special collaboration project that we have done together this year.
This is #12 and final collaboration with my sisters Alisia & Charla.
- They've been so beautiful all year. What in the world would we do without Sisters?
reflect
There are special times in life that you don’t want to let go.
I’m thankful 2011 was a blessing.
Relationships made closer, hardships made easier, and hope restored.
I want to thank God for the gift of this year and what he has done for us.
This picture of Autumn was taken when she was three. She loved playing with my jewelry!
The locket was a gift from my husband years ago on our 2nd Christmas together.
- Those pictures of Autumn are the sweetest!
Handmade Christmas
Hello friends, we had such a lovely cozy Christmas. I hope you did too. :)
From the beginning of Dec. my kids started their countdown.
They put alot of love into cards & handmade gifts for Jason, I and each other.
All the small traditions we look forward to make the holiday feel very special!
I worked on several yarn projects include a very long pom pom garland and an oversized cross stich on burlap.
While shopping, I got lost in the yarn aisle for awhile.. all those pretty colors.. yum!
Right now I love anything with a peachy tint.
I also managed to make a playhouse table tent during one of my sister’s craft weekends. (inspired here.)
The kids love it! Especially the mailbox that drops through to the inside.
It is going to be perfect for indoor play this winter. :)
- I just love that table playhouse idea!! Super cute!
