okay first off.. can I just say.. YOU ALL FREAKING ROCK! oh my heck.. when I posted that little gift to you on friday I had no idea the outpouring of love that would come my way.. I wasn't expecting it.. but I can tell you it was SO thoughtful and so so cherished. I had such a busy weekend that when I sat down last night to relax and catch up on the blog.. I was honestly overcome with gratitude for you all.. reading each and everyone of your comments.. I read some to my husband and kids and told them.. THESE WOMAN JUST ROCK! So thank you! If you didn't get a chance to read the blog post on friday yet.. I have a special gift for all of you wonderful wonderful people for Valetines Day.. You can check it out here.. it's a free download of an art piece I created JUST FOR YOU! Here's a little peek
Today's Monday Moodboard is inspired by the smell and feelof fresh linens! Think of cotton, lace, burlap, linen.. all of those items just makes me think of waking up in the morning with the sun shining and birds chirping.. house clean, everything in order.. oh man I can almost taste it! lol. I know today is valentines day.. and the theme SHOULD be centered around that.. but i guess I like to be different :) So here is today's moodboard
of course most of the sweet treats were found on etsy.. but there are actually a few that weren't! Here is my list!
Owl Nest Print (I heart this!)
Remember the Day FeedSack Pillow
The Art of Spring Guilded Life Event (seriously awesome.. i am going to this!!)
Ledger Number Tiny Tags (ordering some for the shop!)
Vintage Cream Lace Soldered Pendant
So those are just a few of my favorite things this week!
Speaking of my favorite things.. I can't let the rest of this post go by without giving some love to my very best friend, the love of my life, my pal, my business partner, husband, father to my children... I think I could go on and on.. but benny..
i just wanted to say " I love you" .
Seriously that guy rocks! So love to be able to spend 24/7 with him. Can't imagine life it any other way!
Over the weekend I painted this little canvas for him.. to hang in his office (which really is my office.. his desk is next to mine! gotta love it!)
It reads:
"He was her one true love"
I used modeling paste and a texture brush to create the heart
I splattered paint on the canvas and used some of my favorite stamps. Then I wrote B +C in different part of the background.
I also got him THIS print from this Etsy shop here (um can I just say that Alisa is one of the most talented artists I KNOW!!!)
I hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day!! We are going to spend it with our 6 kids like we do each year. We like to do a special candlelight dinner and decorate the table with candy hearts and handmade love notes. We figure we get to spend every weekend going out on a date.. (just me and ben).. why not spend valentines day with the ones who make our family complete.
Before I leave.. wanted to let you know if you are still on the fence about taking the She Art Workshop.. or just don't have the funds. I have two WONDERFUL friends giving away spots into this class on their blogs today!!
The Guilded LIfe Girls blog.. is giving one away (which is the event I am attending in june that I mentioned above). You will fall in LOVE with these girls! They are our newsletter sponsors this month for Scarlet lime.. and you are going to die when you see what they are giving away! That newsletter goes out later this week!
You can also enter a chance to win on Elles Studio Blog! Elle's Studio has some of the best tags and finds ever! In-fact we will be bringing in some of her goodies into the Scarlet Lime shoppe! (which debuts wednesday night!!)
So go get entered to win! I will even have more chances to win this week on My dear friends Mel's blog and the Where Woman Create blog! This class starts in TWO WEEKS!
What are you doing today? Love to know!
Love you all! Happy "heart" DAY!
