I got this idea from Ashley and had to give it a try.
It’s SO easy and makes a special gift!

You need:
1. a large glass votive (I got mine for $3 at Micheael’s)
2. vellum paper (also from Michael’s, under $1)
3. a candle (found one laying around the house)

1. Pick your picture and print it out on vellum paper,
I picked this one of my brother and his kids:

2. Wrap the velum paper around the large glass votive,
tape it in the back,
and then add the candle inside…

Looks great in the day,
or turn the lights out and enjoy!

Such a sweet gift for grandparents, friends, moms, etc. (or brothers!)

Have you heard of The Organic Bloom?

They hand make the most amazing picture frames…



I was super excited to find out that they are also from Tulsa!

Andrea (owner) even stopped by the shop one day,
she came bearing gifts- lots of Organic Bloom goodness!
(thank you Andrea!)

I’m seriously considering changing all of the frames in the store to theirs,
wouldn’t that look amazing?

They even have these sweet Christmas ornaments (so cute!!!)

Andrea is graciously giving away your choice of any 8×10 frame from their site!
Go check out The Organic Bloom and then come back and tell us your favorite frame to be entered.
Say hi to them (and “like” them) on Facebook for an extra entry,
be sure to tell them I sent you!

Sometimes it’s fun to think about how TVP first started…
It’s been a fun but sometimes very bumpy ride!
This was my first “workspace” in 2007, aka my kitchen counter…

Then I moved my stuff here-
I stamped inside the closet back there-
(in an attempt to get all of my stuff off the kitchen counters)
Ryan turned an unused wet bar closet into a workspace for me…

and then sat here at this table in my living room
to finish the pieces and answer emails.

I was needing help-
I can remember in December of 2008 sitting at this table and looking at all of the orders I had in front on me and I just started crying from feeling way overwhelmed- I had 4 kids, including a 6 month old, and all of these orders were Christmas presents and there was no way I was going to get them all done alone. So a friend of mine jumped in and started shipping the packages so I could be free just to make the pieces-
and we made it!

Sometimes I wonder what if I had had no willing friends to help me?
But they did, and we have fun together…

The workshop is already bustling with Christmas orders
and sometimes I just sit back in amazement and think how thankful I am-

–for friends that jumped in and helped me, even though it meant alot of late nights and early mornings,
-for customers who purchased our creations and have cheered us on along the way and have spread the word about TVP- your sweet emails and positive feedback has meant more to us than you know,
-for supportive spouses that were understanding when we crawled into bed at 3am for many nights in a row and had to eat out every night because we had no time to cook,
-for our families that loved us even when we were grumpy from lack of sleep,
-but most of all to God for having His hand on our business and blessing it!

yet still pretty with jeans!
