{This Is My Life}

Etsy Goodies!

So my Mom and I LOVE etsy and have joined in on the fun!  If you aren't familiar with etsy, check this out.  I need to keep this post short tonight because I always have lots to do in the evenings and have so much sleep to catch up on (which never happens).  SO...

My mom's shop:

Artsy Nook

She makes the most FAB coasters ever!  Grab yourself a set or two.  ;)

Here are a couple of my favorites:

My shop:

Cozy Fresh Design

I've been painting and thinking of so many things that I want to create.  I added my first few plaques today and I'm going to be adding more over the next few days, so keep checking in my shop!

Etsy, Photos & Prayers

I added a few things to my etsy shop this morning.  It's so fun to be doing it again!  I'm going to add some different things today hopefully and over the next few days.

Photo talk!  For the next two weeks I am going to give a Back to School special.  I am giving $50 off of any package of your choice!  That means you can get my Grass Roots session for only $100.  I won't be doing this again for a while, so book before August 1st!!  (Your session does not have to be before August, only your booking.)  You can email me, visit my website, or call me at 337-212-1795.

ETA:  This is not only for children/family sessions.  Any sessions get the special!

Now, most importantly... my grandmother needs all of the prayers and good thoughts you can send her way.  My sweet Maw-maw just found out that she has cancer.  We aren't sure how severe and where it all is yet, but we do know it's around her lungs.  My heart hurts so much to know that she has to go through this.  She has done so much for so many people throughout her life.  She has the sweetest spirit of anyone I know.  That photo of me and her was taken a couple of months ago, and I want to be sure to take many more.  Her name is Dorothy.  My mom's mother's name was Dorothy also.  She passed away in December and I miss her terribly.  Thank you, in advance, for all of your support.

Goodies coming soon!

I'm working on some super fun things for my etsy shop!  I am so glad I'm finally getting around to it.  Despite how much running around and visiting we did today, there has been lots of sewing and painting going on.  Loving it!  I'll let ya know when I have my shop updated.  Stick around...

P.S.  don't mind the awful Photobooth picture

Tagged!

Amy tagged me... fun!  Here is how it works: each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to blog about their seven things and post the rules as well . At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog! OK, here goes...

1.   I love Gerber Graduates Turkey Sticks.  I do!  I occassionally fantisize about eating 5 jars of them.

2.   I am almost always late for everything.

3.   I secretly always wanted to live in NYC, on my own, in an apartment.  A part of me wishes that I had done that before getting married.

4.   I have lived in Franklin, Teneessee (Nashville area) twice.

5.   I used to sell my original paintings on eBay.

6.   Jeromy and I met when we were 14 and started dating when were 15.

7.   I am learning more about taking care of the earth and finding ways for my little family to make a difference in our every day life.  (This is one of the best "trends" the celebrities have been all over in a while, right?)

Also, check out my mini Etsy there on the left!  I finally added a few little creations.  Fun fun!

Hello. My name is Laura...

...and I am addicted to Twizzlers.

Yes, you are reading that label right.  It is 4 pounds of Twizzlers.  That's all I have to say about that.

For something fun, I made a couple of felt pin cushions.  Here is my very first one.  Pretty cute for free-handing, right?

 

Also, my mother-in-law treated us to Disney On Ice: Monsters Inc. tonight.  It was a great show!  I will probably share pictures tomorrow.  By the way, what type of media do you back up your photos onto?

Miss Me?

I can not believe it has been so many days since I've posted.  I really need to get better at posting regularly.  I actually don't have much time to post at the moment, but I wanted to pop in to say hi and we're still alive.  Also, I've opened my own Etsy store: Cozy Fresh Design.  I only have a few hair clips up at the moment (oh, and a pin), but I plan to add other things as well.  Check it out if you get a chance!
