Throwback Thursday: Eight Glorious Years!

Hello, my friends!  Tuesday was Jordan and my's eight-year anniversary!  It's hard to believe that eight years, two kids, and a cat later has flown by so quickly!  But it's been an amazing time!  Some of our friends joke that J and I are the "perfect" couple and I'm quite proud of that fact.


We do have a fantastic marriage and we really owe that to our Lord, Jesus Christ, for that!  I thank God each and every day for blessing our marriage and our unity together and we strive to always put Him first and trust in His plan and His path.  I believe that is why we have the perfect marriage!

I made J a fun anniversary card using my very favorite retired Framelits, the Love Notes Framelits.  I will never, ever, ever part with them (just like I will never part with J!) and so I thought they were a fitting use for his card.

Do you like "miniature" things?  I think that anything "mini" size are awesome!!  It amps up the cuteness factor x100!  The Love Notes Framelits are no exception to that rule!  There is a die that cuts out a mini envelope!  I mean...seriously!  It's. Too. Cute.  And that was the focal point for my card.


I die-cut the envie from a piece of the Sending Love Designer Series Paper (because I hoarde paper) and put that on top of a watercolored background using just the Real Red Watercolor Pencil and Aqua Painter.  Couldn't get much easier.  I used the heart from the Love Notes Framelits and the "love" sentiment from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits.  Topped it off with some Basic Rhinestone Jewels and Black Rhinestone Jewels and my card was complete!

Don't have the Love Notes Framelits?  That's OK!  You can use other sets of Framelits for the heart (Up & Away Thinlits or Wood Crate Framelits, for example) and use the Envelope Punch Board to create a small envelope (be on the lookout---maybe that'll be an upcoming Tutorial Tuesday!).  So, there are many ways to re-create this card for someone you love!

Get out there and send the love!

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12!  Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!?  I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement.  So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like!  I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12.  The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

Podcast Episode 4: Accountability

How many of you feel like you're on a never-ending hamster wheel, just running and running and running?  Do you blame the wheel for moving too fast or too slow?  Do you blame the cage for not having any space?  Or do you figure out that you need to stop, get off the wheel and get out of the cage to endless space? I think we all have those seasons in our lives where we easily blame the wheel or the cage.  And the difference between staying on the wheel and blaming it for staying on it and stopping, getting off and getting OUT is our ability to take accountability. Take a listen to this week's podcast and let me know if it inspires you to stop running on the wheel and instead, figure out how to stop, get off the wheel, and get out of the cage.

Lent 2020: Day Two

Today's post is brought to you by...COFFEE.  I'm not going to lie, I really did consider giving up coffee for Lent, but when I mentioned it to one of my best friends, his response was "well, I'll see you in 40 days!"  I was kind of shocked at his lack of support, but then I read a post that was shared with me regarding Lent and some "food for thought" and one of the bullet points read "Don't give up coffee. Jesus will forgive you, but your family might not."  Well---I heard God loud and clear on that one.  Don't give up coffee.  And I'm so very glad I did not. See today, I had a TON of things to accomplish.  We're gearing up for a big weekend and I had quite the laundry list to do.  Not only was my laundry list (and my laundry basket) huge, but I didn't sleep well last night.  I had a very restless husband, so I put myself out on the couch.  Which wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly great, either.  So I already
