oh hey, a give-away

It's been a long while since I've posted anything here on the blog.

I think about it often.

Writing a quick post, or throwing a few pictures up, but the truth is, pillow making keeps me really busy.  But that's not a complaint, at all!  I love this new direction I've taken.  In fact, this new direction has given me reason to celebrate.

I have over 350 followers on Instagram and have had over 50 sales since I opened my little etsy shop late last year.  When I first started listing these pillows, I thought, well if I sell a few, that'll be great...but then I started getting requests for custom orders and having pillows sell out within a few days of posting a batch of them.  Completely beyond my expectations.  So incredibly blessed.  I'm loving what I'm doing.  Like the saying goes, "Do what you love, love what you do."  That's totally what's going on right now.  Most of my "free time" is spent behind my sewing machine.  

Anyways, I have a few things to celebrate:

350+ followers on Instagram

50+ etsy shop sales

2011

was full of wonderful.

Our family saw lots of changes.

Some sad, some joyful.

We are feeling completely blessed and are looking forward to what 2012 has in store for us.

We are excited to spend New Year's Eve and the first week of 2012 with my family in New Jersey.

Watching my niece {9 months old} and Callan interact is going to be SO much fun.

There will be lots of pictures to share when we get back.  :)

To think that, just a year ago, Callan was just a little munchkin...  

...and now he's a walking, "talking" little boy.

My word for 2011 is BLESSED.

As you reflect on this past year and celebrate the upcoming 365 with your friends and family, I want to wish you, and yours, a beautiful, healthy, happy, and incredibly blessed New Year!
