big girl bedroom + new products + a giveaway!

i got my big girl's "big-girl-bedding" this weekend. 
oh my goodness, i could not be more in love with a duvet cover!

i had originally planned on this whole scheme, if you remember?
but when i got to the store and they didn't have it in stock, i fell in love with this instead:


and here's the bed i plan to get. i love how girly the white, scrolly wrought iron is:
[found here]
and this mirror? painted in one of those colors below, if i'm brave:

S





these lime green curtains? not sure if i want to do lime green,
but they do match the bedding perfectly:
i also love this look with lots of frames in different colors, sizes, shapes, etc.
i'd fill them with photos and prints and other things, but i love the look.
at first i complained that i can never find cute frames
but the truth is, they're everywhere. you just have to keep your eyes peeled.
i've already picked up a few cute ones at goodwill that just need to be painted!

okay, switching gears...

i also wanted to share some cute new products that are available in the shop
i had a few nights free last week so i got to work turning some ideas into reality, 
and i LOVE how everything turned out. 
way cuter than i envisioned in my head, which is always awesome.

this "you are my sunshine" 6 inch hoop would be cute for boys' or girls' rooms, 
playrooms, or any other wall in the house.
don't you love it? i totally do.



and here are three more styles, each 5 inches.
the lovely felt roses in the "blossom" design can be made in virtually any color
and don't you think the "all is well" design is perfect for christmas? 
[shauna requested that phrase and i think it's perfect, so that's what i'm calling it for now]
other colors are available for "all is well" and "bloom", though choices are limited.




if you head over to sarah's blog right now you'll find a fun little giveaway 
for a $30 shop credit! that would be enough to snag one of these lovely hoops, 
or maybe my last available wreathor a few prints
everything is ready-to-ship, including hair accessories! head over and enter!

you know what's also fun? i logged in to pinterest to find this print
pinned by censtsational girl. that made me happy :)


happy monday friends!
linking up with heather for life made lovely

to wipe away your yelling

one of my favorite things to do in december is to drive around to see the lights. our neighborhood is huge, and we have some seriously awesome houses. one of them is our next-door neighbor, so we don't have to look very far it we don't want to. but at least five or six times in december i would stick the girls in the car and drive around our neighborhood to spot the best-decorated houses. one particular evening, as we were driving, i asked my three-year old if she remembered what was so special about Christmas. "it's when Jesus came to see all my presents!" that's when you know you're doing a good job, right? yeah, so i gently reminded her that Jesus came, in fact, to wipe away our sins. after a thirty second pause, she wondered out loud: "He came to wipe away your yelling?" straight.to.the.heart. "Because when you yell, that's your sin. and when i don't listen to you, that's my sin." yes, right again. i found
