Boy am I pooped!

Well I thought I would give you all an update on my little sweet pea and I. Everything is going beautifully, I am finally not nausious anymore (thank goodness!), and only just starting to get my energy back little by little. The whole energy issue is why I have been seeming so far away from my blog. I think about each of you often and pray you are all doing great and that you are seeing each and every blessing in your lives!

Please let me know if there is anything I can ever do for any of you or if there is anything I can be praying about for you. I may not be online often but my heart is here with each of you. <3

I thought my little blog world might enjoy to see my little sweet pea grow inside my belly before their very eyes. <3 It is the most precious thing ever if you have never gone through it. While we were at the doctors getting our ultrasound he/she even wiggled around before our very eyes and I was only 9 weeks along. The tech said she was surprised to have seen that so early. Our hearts were so happy!

Sorry for my absence

I wanted to wait until I had a cute/creative way to say this to the world but that was not going to happen until next week. For now, I feel like I really owe you all an explanation to my absence and my inability to provide you with a Two on Tuesday today. The reason for the laziness on my side is:

Oh ya! You got it! Baby Fitz is on his/her way and I have absolutely NO energy. It takes me all day just to get enough energy to do the dishes. I can't even think about doing anything creative. Trust me, it is killing me to not have the energy I am used to having.
We go to the doctor next Monday to, hopefully, hear the heartbeat of our precious little one. I will most definitely keep everyone updated on this new journey, we are so excited about meeting our new addition!!!
God is so wonderful, He has all of this worked out and will continue to look out for us. Please keep us in your prayers!
Hugs and <3's

Two on Tuesday

Just for you! We tried our best to teach you, step by step, how to change up the color of ribbon. It gets a bit messy so you might want to wear rubber gloves to prevent hand staining. It truly is fun seeing what colors you can come up with on your ribbon. So go for it.... HAVE FUN!!!

Green... it's what colors our world

Oh man have my eyes been opened to our beautiful world of green.

I went out into the world around me and took pictures any chance I got. What did I find? That our world is full of all different colors of green and each one makes our planet a more stunning place.

I took the challenge, have you? Hugs and <3's

The Challenge

Canon Rebel??? Yes please!!! For the next few months I am going to put my life in snap shot mode. Every week until August I am going to jump start my creative photography skills. The world is a beautiful place and by golly I am going to share that beauty with the world.
How?
Well, it's simple, I plan on taking my two legs and walking out the door.
Where to?
Well, that's just it, EVERYWHERE!!!
I dream to open every one's eyes to the beauties that go overlooked all around us.

Challenge:
Discover the world with me... walk out your door... ask the Lord to open your eyes to beauties you may, or may not, have seen before.
Lets make great use of our time in this world! Show off YOUR world to us all!
Hugs and <3's

Two on Tuesday

Along with my guest, Paula Strong, we brought new life to an old Christmas plaque. Remember to always have an open mind when looking around for things to repurpose, there is almost never something that can't serve a new purpose/look.
Here is a "How to..." for our first ever Two on Tuesday project. Feel free to follow along with your very own plaque. Hugs and <3's

Drab to FAB!!!

So I bet all of the dog owners out there hate the look of an ugly dog cage sitting in your living room, or which ever room it inhabits. I decided to be bigger than this ugly dog cage and put style/class into my little man's cage.
If any of you have one of these ugly store bought cages that you would just love to see character put into please ask, I would love to chat with you! Hugs and <3's
