Channeling the inner Martha

I really feel like I have been doing that lately. In January I made wedding invitations for one of my really good friends. I've posted the picture of Andi's magnet board already. And this week I've been painting all kinds of things. Like this vase(used to be purple) and glass pear(used to be clear) that now sit above my kitchen cabinets.


And these "paper lines" on Andi's wall. The letters are vinyl.


And these gift boxes for My SIL's baby shower this weekend.


I put a button on my blog over on the right side for a blog that is amazing. This lady does all kinds of refinishing and crafty projects that have given me all kinds of ideas for future projects, and a desire to hit up all the thrift stores in town for "things" to refinish. My list grows daily. You should really check it out. Again, Amazing.
Today has been a wonderful day for really no reason at all. I was taking pictures of my little crafty projects around the house and talking to Andi and I just had this overwhelming feeling of peace and gratitude. I feel so incredibly blessed today, and realize that I should feel that way more often, because it's true, I am. I spend my days with two stinkin cute kids who keep me on my toes and love to learn new things. I come up with all kinds of crazy projects for the house that I can never completely do on my own and Thad always jumps in to help, even if it's just getting his level and making sure the lines I am painting on Andi's wall are straight. I am just amazed at my life today and couldn't ask for anything else.
