okay, i think this is my new favorite. i made it for my daughter's room, since we sing "Jesus Loves Me" every night before bed [at least 3 or 4 times] so naturally, i've added it to the shop too! [find it here]

1 corinthians 13. a classic, right? i think we tend to dismiss it because we hear it so often but its message is really important. here's what i came up with. i love it, and cannot decide which color-way i want to hang in my house: you can buy here , and then i'll email you the high res jpg file.

please check out this giveaway for my friend Kim who's raising money to adopt two girls from Ethiopia. you can win your choice of one of my yarn wreaths !! i sort of always thought i would have to stick with my signature "style". you know, the white text with the plain colored backgrounds? well i've deviated just a little bit. now i have lots of fun "color-block" combinations to choose from too :) so far, i've only done the "come thou fount" print in this style. i have lots of work ahead of me... what do you think? :: lilac grove :: :: autumn whisper :: :: candy :: :: cranberry limeade :: :: grassy :: there are lots more color-block combos where that came from. and i'm thinking for like $3 more you can choose your own customized colors. sounds fun, huh? head here to buy :) oh, and really soon i'll be offering everything as a finished print [as opposed to "print-it-yourself" printables]. just figurin...

just wanted to let you know that i've added two new prints to the shop . this time they're 10x8. i've gotten quite a few requests for some horizontally-oriented designs, so here they are!  i'm loving the stripes on this one. i think i might do stripes more often:  or no stripes is equally as pretty:  and also, a few more colors for the "oaks of righteousness" with the oak tree: head over to the shop to buy . remember, they're "print it yourself". you can either print at home on cardstock or you can send to costco or wherever you get photos printed (they look great on photo paper, believe me). scrapbookpictures.com is another option. really outdated and hard-to-navigate website, but they get the job done!
