Juniper is going to be turning 4 this weekend, and she is SO EXCITED. She has been making practice cakes from play dough for the past few weeks, and telling me all about the presents she is going to get. One day she started opening pretend letters from all of her friends telling her that…
I started this painting a couple of weeks ago and just got a chance to finish it up yesterday. This one was inspired by this post on Craftiness Is Not Optional. Seriously, how cute is Miss C’s little face? I was having a bit of trouble inking this one, I think it might be time…
Ok, a little back story. When we lived in Orlando, I was the secretary for our church’s group for young women. I seriously had THE best girls and I miss them SO MUCH. After a pretty hilarious email exchange with a man named Herb, they started calling me Sister Awesome and I’m not gonna lie,…
I decided last night to make some of these cute cardboard letters as a Christmas gift for my niece. They are awesome because you just use old boxes and scraps of fabric. Both of which I have a TON of. They are a lot of work, but they really aren’t that bad. But by the…

I have been avoiding posting anything on the blog this week, because I just love seeing our Christmas photo right at the top of the page. So I figured I’d ease back into posting by sharing another photo that makes me happy. I love watching these two play together, they love each other so much…
First off, I just want to thank Chelsey for hosting such an awesome contest. I have had this idea in my head for almost a year now and I’m am just giddy with excitement that we made it work. Seriously, I had way too much fun with this! So even if I don’t win, I’m…
My Thanksgiving weekend was nothing short of awesome. We had lots of fun goofing off and relaxing as a family. On Thursday we drove out to St. Louis to have dinner At Shaun’s cousin’s house. The food was delicious and the table length was quite impressive! It is always nice to see family. (And not…
After painting Rachel and another brunette (I’ll be sharing her soon!), I wanted to paint someone with more… colorful hair. And whose hair is more colorful than Kaylah from The Dainty Squid? She was fun to paint because her hair is so bright and her outfits are always so much fun. I love her style,…
