My "Cure for the Common Life"

I'm part of a girls Bible study group that meets every Thursday! I love the fellowship and conversations that group provides. We just finished reading Cure for the Common Life by Max Lucado. In order to get back to my "sweet spot" and do something I enjoy doing, I decided to put my insecurities behind me and sell some of my wares! So today I set up my Etsy site:


Right now I'm mainly selling some beads that I want to get rid of in order to get more (prettier!) beads. There are a few bracelets, too. Since I have Fridays off for now, I'm hoping to spend more time making things and learning more about the beading and sewing.

And this is totally NOT a sales pitch! I'd prefer to sell to strangers! Friends, family, and blog readers get things free!

Jennifer & Ben's Wedding

This was weekend #3 of 4 for travel... needless to say, glad I'll be home this weekend. That said, it was still a fun weekend. I traveled with Kelly to Atlanta for our cousin Jennifer's wedding. Jeff was stuck at home working. Actually, the wedding was in McDonough, Georgia at the Hazelhurst House. It was beautiful, of course!


Practicing!

Despite a little rain in the beginning, the wedding was sweet. I think they were trying to compete with Jeff and I on the fastest wedding ceremony, but we are still in the lead. Probably because they had 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsman!

Cousin Josh... his wedding was last summer! And in this picture, I'm on my tip-toes and he's practically sitting just to get the two of us in the picture. Hard to believe we're related!

Good to see the extended family at weddings now that we really don't get together at Christmas anymore. Now someone has to get married next summer!
