cute little turtle

Another card from play day at Jeannie's. The little turtle was part of a hostess set a couple years ago and she got it just for the turtle but hasn't used it yet! So I made this little card. I stamped him on watercolor paper (awesome stuff!) and used old olive and the messed up (didn't know it till I started coloring) bermuda bay ink pad to color him in. Since it didn't really turn out bermuda bay, I just used tempting turquoise for the rest, and think it looks great with old olive! Then we started talking about how EVERYTHING pretty much goes with tempting turquoise or old olive....can you think of anything that doesn't?!?!?!?

On other notes, I can't stop listening to the song "Falling in Love At a Coffee Shop" by Landon Pigg! Maybe you've heard this song on the AT&T commercial..... I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you. Yes, there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you.......

Key Change

This is amazing...listen all the way through for the part where he describes the key change........so moving. I guess it's safe to say that "key changes" come in many varieties (not just the white dress...). This arrangement is so amazing because it's a resemblance of how many exciting things happen even up to the key change. I know I'm trying hard to enjoy all those little pieces and hoping that will make the key change so much more invigorating...but it's hard....the waiting. But life is now, the whole song. So listen, to the whole song and enjoy ALL the good parts....there are oh, so many. I hope this song inspires you in one way or another.

Still here.....

I'm not really a fan of posting just to say "I'm still here" but considering I have some blog candy hanging out there, I probably need to say I haven't forgotten. It's been a crazy week so far...lots going on at work, lots to think about, trying to workout three times this week, and more things to think about have just gotten me off track. So, I'll be back with a winner... well...hopefully by the weekend! In the mean time, I'm trying to listen to peaceful music which always seems to calm me. Jim Brickman and Josh Groban are a couple of my favorites...what are yours?

You may have also noticed the new link on the right side to my Etsy Shop! I posted a few cards for sale over there....all of which have been on my blog at one time. I've been wanting to set it up for a while, and finally made it happen last weekend.

Christmas Songs

I want to share my two favorite Christmas songs at the moment....Joseph's Lullaby by MercyMe and Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) by Amy Grant. Check out the links above for a listen! What are your favorites right now?

A New Hallelujah!

Michael W. Smith will be releasing his new CD on October 28! Jennie and I went to Lakewood on June 20th and attended the live recording of this new album. It was an awesome experience and I can't wait to get the CD!
