Valentine's Day Cuteness

Happy first day of February! I'm so excited for this month, I have way too many plans for my own good! 

I am not Valentine's Day's biggest fan. At all. I love the idea, but based on past experience with the "holiday," I'm not a fan. Blake is slowly changing my mind. Slowly. I'm getting excited about the idea of decorating for Valentine's Day. I think I might spend the next few days crafting up some cute decorations & V-Day Cards! :) 

Here are a few of my favorite things I've spotted here and there...

 Sweet shoe clips

 The sweetest heart print dress, styled by Elsie

 Cute, cute, cute idea for handmade Valentines

Sweet "read between the lines" Valentines

I am currently watching Sesame Street (fun, I know, right?), and Jimmy Fallon is the celebrity guest... it's only slightly creepy. 

I'll see you tomorrow with a new outfit post (finally!) You can see a few of my past outfits here.

New(ish) Shop!

I originally decided to reopen the shop on Friday... but I was bored, and couldn't wait any longer!

So, the feather painting (that every single one of you seems to love!) is currently reserved for Carly. I am most definitely going to start working on more to list for you, or if you'd like a variation on that, definitely go for the custom painting option, that way you'll get exactly what you want!

I've been out of the painting habit for quite some time, and its been so refreshing jumping right back into what I love. I'm so blessed to have such great friends and supporters such as you guys!

I should have more paintings available in the next few days. Keep your eyes peeled for those! :)

*AND*
Have you guys seen this?? A free trip to Paris?! Sign. me. up.

I'm only telling you about this because you have to in order to win.

So. um, sorry, but don't enter. Because I want to win. kthxbye ;)

Home.

Well, almost.

I'm back in St. Louis. I'm leaving later today though, and then I'll be home.

But then tomorrow, Blake and I are going to see Sleigh Bells/Neon Indian in Kansas City.

And then Colby and I are making plans to have a sleepover before he leaves on Friday.

And I need to go on a job search (BLAH), and maybe even an apartment search before the week is over.

So... Etsy has sort of been put on the backburner. For this week, at least.

I'm hoping to find some painting time soon, and then I'll start listing things.. hopefully by the end of next week. :)

Hope your Sunday is beautiful :)

ps. thank you all SO much for your kind words regarding Breigh.

I'm so proud of that girl. In the recent months, with her health not being so great, she's never once been 'pity me' or thought of herself over others. She'll be the first to go pray with you if she knows you're hurting or sick, even though she's suffering two diseases and a brain tumor. And despite all of that, she spent yesterday helping clean up in Joplin. I am so proud to call her my best friend. Thanks for you prayers and your support. You all are truly amazing.

Etsy Update.

It seems as if a lot of you are interested in me reopening my Etsy!

This makes me *very* happy. Its been about a year since I had one, so it'll take a while to get back into the swing of things.

The way its going to work is I'll probably put up listings for paintings I already have done, but I'll put up more listings for custom paintings. Commissioned artwork is where my heart lies! I love working with people and producing something we both created.

I might also venture into hair accessories.. someday. I've kind of been messing with that sort of stuff lately, so my shop may include all of that eventually.

Okay. I'm off to Florida this afternoon, so as soon as I get back, I'll get to work on listing things for you guys. :)

P.s. I got feather extensions this morning! This is a bad representation of them, but they're so cute in person!
