Currently
Right now I’m… | hearting | Watercolor clipart and design elements. I’m dabbling around in graphic design and exploring what I like and don’t like. I’m kinda loving watercolor art at the moment. (This daisy is not my artwork. It’s just one I thought was so pretty.) Also, I’m thinking of investing in a drawing pad for my computer. Maybe…

A recap of July in one sentence a day… and a few pictures. Friday, July 1. It’s been a somewhat cool summer so far. Saturday, July 2. Just because we love to trade cars, we now have a Toyota Sequoia.

Bible Journaling and Weird Things
If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed my new Inspire Bible. It’s actually a birthday gift from last fall.

Summer Salad
In the summertime we eat a lot of salads, don’t you? That, and grilled meat. In the winter I fix more soups and casseroles. This is a salad I came up with a few weeks ago that we have been enjoying this summer. I made it when my parents were here, and when they got home my Dad asked my…

Small Town Parade
What could be more fun in the summertime than a small town parade? This past weekend was the annual Rathdrum Days festival here in our community and the celebration included a parade that marched right past our house. I love a parade. Especially one in a small town with down-home creativity and “just folks” with all the hokeyness you can…
