Red letter ART

Recently I was honored to help spruce up the Children’s Ministry Coordinator’s office at our church.  Debbie is a sweet friend and does so much for our kids I wanted something really special in the room to encourage her and others when in the space.  We found the perfect source.  Red letter words

{Yes, I immediately took it out of the box to take a photo!}

Debbie really enjoys and gains a lot of wisdom from the D6 conference held each year and that verse is really the mission statement of what she hopes to equip and encourage parents with as we raise children.  I love Debbie because she is more “big picture” and less about crafts and activities.  So Dee at Red Letter Words made this fab canvas with Deuteronomy 6 and it looks amazing in Debbie’s office.  Another church member is making a linen window treatment and there are a few frames to hang and then maybe I can show you a peek! Thanks Debbie for all you do for so many people.

Great new silhouettes

Oh my!  Look what arrived in the mail this week from Emily at Jones Design Company. . .      

Yes, I immediately ripped into the box and then took their picture!

Thank you so much Emily, you totally captured my boys. 

{Henry Brooks, age 9 months}

{Andrew Payne, age 5}

I have a silhouette of Drew at age 3 from Karl Johnson and planned on getting one of Henry at the same age but I am thrilled to have these capturing my boys at this stage!  And the size is so cute..12″ square.  Oh and the background. . . french book pages! Of course I love  anything with old book pages..so add in my kids and silhouettes..its a lovefest for sure! And made by the hands of another mama no less. Very special. I found the perfect spot for them in our master bedroom. . . I’d never had anything in this spot before but they fit and look great in this little space.

Introducing the black from the silhouettes is making me love the black armoire in my master bedroom even more…it is directly across from the bed and I was ready to paint it grey after recently painting the marcia brady dresser blue.  BUT adding the silhouettes has made me like the black paint again..also I changed out the items on top..I had old suitcases up top and I love vintage suitcases but this arrangement is slowly taking shape. 

I think I want to collect more loving cups and loving the brownie camera, would like to add another 2 or 3 of those  although maybe not all in this one area..its getting crazy. But I am sort of loving it too!

Thanks again Emily for the lovely silhouettes of my boys..Y’all be sure and check out the Jones Design blog..her kitchen is so cute and you won’t believe what she is doing in her new home office..you do NOT want to miss!
