Shout Outs

Congrats to Cody & Kylie on buying their first house! If we ever get out of California, we may just be able to afford to buy a house, too!

Dabble in design like Kera did~ she's inspired me to do some more of it myself, especially with all the free digital design kits available to download. Thanks, Kera!

How cute is this fairy party Kim put together for her daughter Shailey? I'll be contracting her to do my party this year! And yes, it will be fairy-themed. I would just like a good reason to wear fairy wings, all right? :)

I just love this image taken by Olivia Carter. I wish the skies here were that pretty of a blue!

And another pretty picture taken by Tami, whose family just moved from California back to Utah. Don't worry, Tami, there are rainbows in Utah, too. :)

Thanks, Hillary, for sharing this touching poem, and the sweet video "Tender Mercies of the Lord."

MY LIFE IS BUT A WEAVING BETWEEN MY GOD AND ME.

I DO NOT CHOOSE THE COLORS, AND HE WORKETH STEADILY.
OFT TIMES HE WEAVETH SORROW, AND I, IN FOOLISH PRIDE,
FORGET HE SEES THE UPPER AND I THE UNDERSIDE.
NOT TILL THE LOOM IS SILENT AND THE SHUTTLE CEASE TO FLY
WILL GOD UNROLL THE CANVAS AND EXPLAIN THE REASONS WHY.
THE DARK THREADS ARE AS NEEDFUL IN THE SKILLFUL WEAVER'S HANDS
AS THE THREADS OF GOLD AND SILVER IN THE PATTERN HE HAS PLANNED.
