Ooooooh...pretty!

Let's see, we've taken care of my birthday, I stayed in my pj's and makeup-less all through Thanksgiving (girls only weekend, remember? so there's no way you're getting pictures of that) so that must mean....

It's time for a Christmas giveaway!

When Jason and I moved to Abilene, TX, I started going to a women's Bible study hosted by First Baptist Church. It was my first experience with a Beth Moore study (more about that here) and it was such a helpful place to meet some other women and make new friends. One evening we randomly exchanged prayer cards with someone in the group and my person was Abby. Out of that random card swap, I found a kindred spirit out in Texas and my friendship with her has been a HUGE blessing ever since. We've seen each other through the newlywed season, family drama, pop culture events, What I Wore Wednesdays (she's the one who got me started on that) and so much more.

(Abby and I at her wedding in 2008)

Abby is all sorts of creative, crafty and talented. She's done multiple blog designs for me, including my current one. It has been so much fun to watch her take her talent and creative gifts and make them available to the folks in Abilene and beyond. She's recently opened up an etsy shop and is offering a variety of prints, of which I want them all! I bugged and nagged politely asked if she would design a print around Jeremiah 29:11 and girlfriend did not disappoint. 



What I love about Abby's designs are how bright, crisp and colorful they are. Having these powerful words in front of me as I work in my little crafting spot is a joy and sweet reminder of the One who knows and loves me best.



This week, YOU have the chance to win the 5x7 print of your choice from Abby's shop.

  10. Who doesn't love a good chevron? I am pretty sure if I didn't rent my home I would be attacking my rooms (yes all of them) with Chevrons. So My pick of perfections would the teal chevron...(how many times can I say chevron? in one comment...chevron) with the Psalms 45:11. Gorgeous! Love all the fonts and designs but again...Chevron. Cheers! -Christine

  22. Love these prints! I love "We believe in grace and the One who gives it" - would be such a great reminder around the house. Also the fruits of the spirit one would be cool because I could teach it to my boy who is just learning to read! Thanks for the giveaway, best wishes from London!
