Buying Handmade

As a small business owner myself, it’s super important to me to shop support other small business and thriving artists. Buying handmade has so many great aspects! You support local artisans, and therefore their family, local economy and community. Your gifts are the best on the block. Cool, trendy, unique, and usually one-of-a kind, you can find some really awesome handmade stuff that’ll make everyone ask Where can I get one? You gain a unique connection with an artisan. Let’s not forget the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you helped support someone very directly.  

Years ago, before I started my photography business, I constantly had my camera in hand. I would take photographs of landscapes, nature and anything else that peaked my interest and caught my eye. As these photographs began to accumulate, I toyed with the idea of starting my own Etsy shop. For years, I had been an avid Etsy shopper. One day, as I was browsing Etsy, I made the plunge and opened my own shop. That was in 2011. Over the past 5 years, I’ve branched out into also designing images. I found a love for fonts, and words. So phone cases just seemed to be a natural fit.

I love to making and designing stuff, as you might have noticed. And I adore photography. I’ve spent many, many hours photographing, designing and posting my items.

What do I make now? Fine art prints, phone cases, calendars, downloadable wall art, canvases and pillow covers.

Today, I’m sharing my art with you.  I’d love for you to take a look around, I’m sure you’d find something for yourself and may even others on your Christmas list!  There is still time for shopping before Christmas.

Hello. Goodbye.

Hello December, goodbye November
Hello my fav month…you’re so happy, festive, sparkly, shiny and you smell really super good
Hello Christmas tree, goodbye pumpkins
Hello family time + lots of laughs

Hello celebrating the real reason for the season, the birth of Christ
Hello Christmas ham {my fav}, goodbye Thanksgiving turkey
Hello holiday baking, goodbye self control
Hello hot chocolate, goodbye hot cider
Hello season of giving, goodbye buying for myself

Hello Gregory, our elf on the shelf…oh how I’ve missed your naughty adventures
Hello streaming Christmas music all.the.time., goodbye regular radio stations
Hello to every Christmas movie out there, goodbye non-holiday movies
Hello happy mail daily, goodbye boring mail

Hello crafting presents, goodbye boring evenings
Hello first year for my fireplace, goodbye wishing I had one
Hello kids Christmas program, goodbye dry eyes
Hello Christmas caroling and Christmas wrapping, goodbye free time
Hello making lists and checking them twice
Hello the season I’ve waited for all year long
Hello the season that feels extra magical this year

Thankful {25/30}

Today I am thankful for receiving this shirt in the mail, and the gentle reminder it offered.  This sucks, but God is good.  There are a lot of situations that suck…infertility, death, money issues, drugs or being accused of something that just downright isn’t true.  But even in the midst of those situations we can cling to one thing…God is good y’all!  And He is good all the time, even the midst of the chaos of life.

Today I am thankful for answered prayers. Even though those answers aren’t always what WE think they should be, they are always what HE knows they should be. I’m thankful for His timing, even when this girl is too stubborn to see it.

Today I’m thankful for all the amazing prayer warriors in my life.  It’s so, so comforting to know all I need to do is ask and y’all have me covered.  I’m so fortunate and blessed!
