he will left up your head.

ohhh man. life is crazy hard right now. i have to fight giving into self-pity sadness and just fear a lot these days. but as i was in the kitchen getting something to eat i heard "God will left up your head" by jars- it was on their worship cd- because ksbj is still always playing in my parents house. love ksjb but i don't want to listen to them...but i do like this jars song and it came at such a sweet time. i needed to hear that. he will left up your head.

art really is therapy for me. so i have been trying to do more stress releaving activities! here are a few...

this is just a little memory saver from kate's wedding. a pressed flower from my bouqet and one of her cute tags.

i found this old drawer amongst my mother's stuff and she said i could do whatever i wanted. the pink flowers fell off some of the bouqets from my wedding and the rose is another flower from kate's. it is going to go ellis's crib i hope. and yes i am calling her ellis but i don't like elle...that is a popular name now...so i just want it to be ellis...just in case you were wondering...

"love, mimi" that is the name of this group of cards i made. do you think i can sell them?? be honest.





i don't know what i want my "name" to be. i have a stamp that says cate button from my wedding. but i kinda want something more fun. what about peace&buttons...thoughts??









like mrs. lauren johnson i too want to copy some art. i have been wanting to paint something for ellis and i saw this girl on etsy. i love love watercolor and her paintings are just beautiful to me. i will try to attempt this soon...i don't know if mine will turn out as good as lauren's. i might just end up buying it...

and just a little pregger update...i have weird, specific cravings. strawberry-pineapple-blueberry smoothies, vanilla frozen yogurt with cookies, greenbeans, baked-potatoes with black beans and salsa, and today was powdered donuts and rootbeer. i rarely drink any sodas and now i'm feeling the sugar...i promise i'm not always that bad. josh was sweet and went and got it for me.

p.s. i know instagram is like old news but i just downloaded it on josh's phone because yes i still have my crap little phone. it is really addiciting. it gives us non-photographer peeps some skill.

life is hard but you know i'm glad it is. it makes me trust him more, more than i would if things felt easy.
peace, love, and powdered donuts.
