REST

Just wanted you to know that I am still here!  I have been super busy lately.  I'm trying to get everything turned in to Bigfish (the screenprinting shop I'm using) so I can get to sewing on my pillows.  It has been really hard for me to pick which designs I want to move forward with.  There are so many options!  My first set are scheduled to be printed by the end of this week, so I've been scrambling to get it all together!


I did make a little time to go outside and take in God's beauty.  It is so good to just be still sometimes and look around you...ya know!  I mean I didn't even know stuff started blooming already! It reminded me of this verse.

Matthew 6: 28

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

Among all the busy, and sometimes stressful or worrisome times...we can REST.  God always takes care of us.

I'm also helping with a friend's wedding.  It has been lots of fun. She and her family have the greatest taste. There will be lots of vintage, eclectic things there. We just finished putting up a canopy over the isle for the ceremony. Really fun!  I'm excited to share some pics as soon as I get some!

Oh, and I get to go on a girl trip to Chicago with my mom and two sisters right after the wedding. I'm so so so excited to spent some quality girl time with them!  We have been trying to plan the trip in between the craziness of it all!  We plan on going to Ikea... that's all I really need to say=)

Beautiful Little Images

I came across these pictures and couldn't stop looking at them!  They are such gorgeous pictures.  I love photography. I agree that a picture can speak lots louder than words sometimes.  With Justin in graphic design, I have seen even more how powerful images are.

Meg Bitten at www.megbitton.com has the most gorgeous pics.  Here are the ones I first came across.

You should check out more at her site...she's really inspiring.

A Gorgeous Outdoor Wedding

Here are those pictures I said I'd share from the amazing outdoor wedding we went to a few weekends ago.  These are some very special people and I am so happy for them!

Senior Pictures: Lovely Country

Justin and I had the privilege of taking Anna's senior pics recently.  She is a sweet girl who loves all things country.  Her family has the most beautiful land that they wanted her pictures taken on. They told us lots of stories of their family history and all the hard work that went into the land.  We even got to see the original cabin built years and years ago. It was all run down, but it was really neat!  I can't believe how people used to live.  No running water, no heating and air, no washer and dryer or dishwasher.  We have it so good!

Anna was a joy to take pictures of.  She is so genuine and seems to have so much fun in life.  She loves the outdoors and hunts every year with her dad...how neat is that!

Here are a few pics of Anna...

Orange & Yellow, Blue and Brown

I was going through my closet today, frantically trying to find a matching pair of boots among the chaos of pillows and clothes and I don't know what else.  It needs some work. We now have a closet with space, and I somehow still manage to make it hard on myself to find things.  I think it's just become that catch all closet where I can hide my messes.  I do plan on cleaning it up soon!

While I was digging, I found some heels I bought a when I was in high school.  I remember getting them when my mom and I were in the mall on  a special shopping trip.  Special because we rarely went to the mall.  There was a huge shoe sale and I just couldn't put them down.  I think they're so fun and I want to wear them more.  Thought they were great to share along with this fall season. 

We got to take some senior pics out in a surrounding town this weekend.  The family had the most beautiful piece of property.  With the trees changing colors, it was just perfect.  I'm excited to see how they turn out!  I love being able to take pics with Justin.  We're learning lots.

Hope you all had a great weekend.
Until next time.

A Family FAIR...

I thought share our fair photos with you.  We went last week and had a great time together. Justin and I went with my sisters and met up with some other fam and friends there. 

We decided not to buy ride tickets, so we just walked around and looked at artwork and photography indoors for a while (it was 100 degrees that day!)  This is where we came across a giant table with bins and bins of candy.  We couldn't resist so we all grabbed a few of our favorites.  I had to try the mini jawbreakers. They were the size of a bebe! 

Old-Fashioned Fashion

I love Fashion photos. They are always so creative.  Loving to design and capture, I appreciate a good photo.  I love the feel these photos portray.

Field Photos

Justin and I went out the other day in some of the first springy weather we've had to snap a few fun photos.  We feel like the only way to get better is to practice...so we have fun shooting together when the time feels right.  We went on a walk down to the valley and had fun with our new photo lens.  Justin took these.  He has an amazing eye for photography!  I'm always impressed by him.

We are off to a wedding  today!  I'm excited for my dear friend.  The wedding is held at a big field/camp where her family celebrates Memorial Day every year. 

I hope you are able to spend some time with friends and family on this Memorial Day too.

Family Love

It's Friday!  I hope you all had a good week.  It's been so gorgeous outside, hopefully we can all do something outside this weekend. I went to Justin's first softball game of the season tonight...it always makes me excited for summer being there.  Soon...

So I edited a few of the pictures that Justin and I took of my brother and sister in law.  We had so much fun hanging out with them on Saturday. Thanks you guys for being such awesome friends!

White As Snow

 I am so excited about the warmer weather, but the snow was so beautiful last week! God is so amazing! I was driving home and saw these gorgeous scenes...I just had to take some pictures!  I called Justin and told him he had to grab the camera and hop in the car.  We went on a mini adventure trudging through the snow to find the best shots.  It was so fun!  I'm so glad he likes to be spontaneous with me.
