random creations. (a giveaway!)

It’s been a little extra busy here
(hence, my lack of posting)
while trying to balance a few new transitions with normal life-
it’s a good busy, but it can get exhausting.
My days are full of extra projects and meetings,
followed by the typical busyness of a family of 6
(homework, practices, dinner, family time, bedtime).
It’s only for a season, life will slow back down for all of us tvp girls once it’s over,
but better to be busy than not, right?

So the other night, I took a break from the stuff I HAD to get done,
and I just created for me
it was creative time I needed and it felt so good!
I have my own little workshop in our house,
which helps me create on a whim when an idea hits.
I asked for names from facebook friends
so I felt like I was designing and creating with a purpose,
and then I made random pieces using their names-
some pieces were from our website
while others were totally new, or maybe slightly different than a favorite piece,
just to see how it looks…
I simply made whatever I felt like making-
it was divine!
This piece, this piece, this piece, this piece and this piece
are a few of my favorites to make and tweak.
Sometimes a new piece is born into our collection that way,
(this necklace was created that way)
but it also gets my creative juices going and it’s relaxing.
Plus, I love surprising others
it’s so fun to email someone to let them know you used their names
and you’re mailing them their new piece!

*

So blog friends,
tell us what names you would want stamped on a piece-
we will randomly pick a few and make you one of our random creations!
Might be a piece we have, or something totally new, or something altered-
it’s a surprise!!!

bowling for valentines.

I have to say, I think Valentine’s Day is a lot of work as a mom of 4- we have to get 4 sets of Valentine’s ready, with the candies attached, a gift for each teacher and the 4 party items we signed up for, and then we have to make sure each child actually [...]

Sunday morning we woke up to… about 50 flamingos in our front yard! Nancy, who is one of our awesome shippers, has 2 sons that are raising money for a missions trip… so they started flocking people with these pink flamingos. There are several flocks migrating around town and it’s been super fun to watch [...]
