New Look! New Beginning!

My poor little blog has been neglected lately, but that's all about to change.

Many thanks to Nichole for the makeover! She made my last header, too, which I loved. I asked her if she could help me with something summery, and she found the Fly High collection at ScrapGirls - it's perfect! There will probably be some more tweaking with the overall layout & colors, but I couldn't be happier with the header!

For the month of June, I am planning on posting every day. I KNOW. A huge change from my sporadic posting of the last several months. I am really missing the creative outlet that writing has been in the past; hopefully I can figure out how to fit writing back into my schedule!

If you're still reading, say howdy! I'd like to get to know you if I don't already.

Beloved...and a Giveaway!

****This giveaway has ended! Stay tuned to find out who won!****


I wouldn't say that my home is well-decorated...unless you think Duplos and a scattering of My Little Pony shoes make for a classy home. But my home does show the personality of my family, clutter and all. One of my favorite decorations is a carved wood plaque that reads, "The Lord bless you and keep you...the Lord make His face shine upon you." It's prominently displayed above a doorway, right across from our front door, making it one of the first things you see as you enter our home.

Until recently, our master bedroom wasn't particularly inspiring. I love our quilt, and I love the color scheme, but it was missing something...until now!I was given a chance to review this beautiful My Beloved - Charcoal 4 x 6 Frame from the DaySpring Online Store! It's fresh and modern, and I absolutely love the scripture displayed on the frame. Choosing the picture to go in the frame was easy - this is one of my favorite pictures of James and I. It was taken on Christmas Day of 1999 (I think) in Tallahassee, Florida. We both look so happy; it's a great reminder that he really IS my beloved and the best friend I could imagine.
DaySpring is a wonderful company; everyone knows about their inspirational cards, but their home decor items are even better! I have my eye on several things as gifts for loved ones, but I can't post about that here in the interest of secrecy.

Like what you've heard? I have one $20 gift certificate to give away to a lucky reader (winner pays all shipping)! To enter this giveaway, simple leave a comment on this post, telling me how you show your faith in your home! Giveaway will close on Friday, May 27th, at 8 a.m. CST.

I was provided with the My Beloved 4x6 picture frame to review. All opinions are my own.
