Country Petals + Shop

I am so impressed with a few of my readers {don’t worry, I LOVE you all, I’m just amazed at a few}. Late Sunday night I posted the “shop” section on the blog and had slowly started to add some of the items I’m selling there. Since I’ve been under the weather, it’s been a slow process getting everything up– for some reason, feeling light-headed and nauseous comes at the most inopportune times! Anyhow, getting back on topic, I quietly posted the page and was so surprised that a few already noticed and started checking things out. Way to go super observant readers! I still have quite a bit more to post, but if you want to buy anything now, the page is up.

This week the 10 Minute Craft Dash #16 is being sponsored by Avery Elle. I am loving the latest AE addition to my stamp collection, Petals & Stems. This set is so much fun to use and I love how easy it was to quickly cut out these bold images! Since I had used this set in a bold way previously, I thought I would switch it up and go a more subtle, almost country feel this time around.

In yesterday’s post, I LOVED that Cindy noticed I still managed to get sequins into the photo even though I didn’t add them to my card. She’s so observant! I wanted to share that there’s actually some reasons I’ve been adding them to my pictures, in case any of you were wondering.

  1. They’re inexpensive and are a great “filler” for pictures.
  2. They help my camera pick up on colors from the cards, hence making the pictures better. {Weird, right?}
  3. I will find any way possible to include sequins on/ in anything. I have an full-on obsession.

This week was  scheduled full of different things I was supposed to go to {including my very first women’s conference}. I REALLY don’t want to miss any of these things, so the plan is to just go to work and rest up as much as possible. If you think of it, I’d love prayers as far as this sickness bug– it’s definitely not something I need and it’s throwing everything out of whack, including flaring up my back pain. Yucky stuff. I know quite a few of my readers are prayer warriors, so I’ll welcome any prayers! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope all of you are staying healthy and your week is off to a great start!
