Thank you! You guys are really way too kind and sweet and loving and encouraging…and hey, I’m just glad to know I’m not the only one who has a bad day and pitches a fit and is kind of a hot mess sometimes. Good to know I’m not alone. And thank you for reading. I honestly am just floored that anyone would read all the randomness I type about, but I so appreciate that some of you do. Really and truly. Thank you!
So today was such a good day. I’m sitting here now with a smile on my face and talking Josh’s ear off about the day and dreams and aspirations. Tonight the impossible things, seem totally possible.
I got to spend the day with Amon. He just blows me away. I wish every one could meet him…Harper, Huddy and Sol too. Amon is extra squishy though and is definitely the most cuddleable.
He slept while I did some work…like making map copies and getting my art on. I just want to squeeze him.
I finished up two orders today. These are headed to Cheryl and Stephanie here in Tennessee. I like you local Tennesseans. Thank you so much ladies.

And tonight I went to The Strawberry Patch sale. I actually won tickets today for the pre-sale tonight and it was amazing. I was in this wonderment mood. I just walked around and dreamed about everything I want to do and be as I get older. It sounds totally weird that a barn sale did that for me, but it did. It was swoony.
There was handmade stuff and old stuff and stuff with chippy paint and vintage sheets and bunting everywhere. It was a total delight. I came home with quite a few goodies.
Brea tried to take a picture of me with my big 6 on her phone. They were all terrible and blurry because clearly Brea has no idea how to work the camera on her phone. Consider evidence A-F…
A) 
B) 
C) 
D) 
E) 
F) 
They are all so funny. They make me laugh. Brea was all like, “Will you tag me in these when you put them on Facebook?” Ummm…yeah, all of those pictures just scream “Facebook profile pic”. Nope. Brea also asked me to make a flip book out of them. That, I could maybe swing.
I did run into a reader tonight at the sale. Nita. So, I was a total big dork and cried because she was so crazy nice. We hugged…twice. I’m a hugger. If you hug me, just know you are speaking my love language. She also told me she hoped I was having a better day. I had to wipe the tears away like an even bigger dork. Thank you Nita…you made my night with your kind, kind words.
And just so I make you uber jealous before I end this late night post…those barn pendant lights you see there…yep, they went home with me. I won’t tell you how much I paid either…I’m trying not to be a stumbling block for those around me. #greatdeal
I’m looking pretty boss with my shades and stance and dolla, dolla bills ya’ll. It was totally a much better day.
Happy Thursday night!

You crack me up!
OMG… you are the best writer! I look forward to your posts! They always make me smile. You are just so real and refreshing. True that… we are all hot messes at some times in our weeks! You are just brave enough to share it with all of us! 🙂
“dolla, dolla bills ya’ll” and I will smile for the rest of my night. 🙂 I’m glad today was a better day.
So, I obviously adore pic A because that is the one where the lady appears to want to eat you since you have the 6 sign.
SUCH A FUN NIGHT! I can’t believe you didn’t tell everyone that we both ate quarter pounders with cheese at 8pm. I’m also thinking you were a quarter pounder virgin, correct?
That is what I miss most living in Tennessee…those awesome barn sales!!!! Looks like so much fun! Next time you should enter and have a booth!!
I am so excited to see my canvas (I am the Tennessee lady with the Jeremiah canvas for anyone else who reads this!)! We have a shiny new grandson (well, he’s almost 3 months old now) and I am converting a spare room into a room for him (yes, already!) and I wanted something super-dooper special for his room and THIS IS PERFECT! I have been so lucky as to be able to purchase another item from Laura (a gift for a special friend this past Christmas – and SHE LOVED IT!) and I am very jazzed that now Cade Alexander Roberts will have one in his room at Grammy/Gigi’s (we can’t decide which one I’ll be?) house. The verse is perfect and so is the canvas.
Laura, you rock! I can’t wait to hug you again!
P.S. – I thought of you this morning as I was coming to work up Conference Drive, around 6:45 a.m. (yes, you heard me sigh “ugh”) and I saw dozens of runners on the sidewalks on both sides of the street. Marathon tomorrow here in Music City – and good luck to all of the amazing runners out there (I am NOT a runner, just to clarify – but I can walk a mean walk!)!
Laura, This was my 1st time to go to the Strawberry Patch Sale, and I had such a good time. Their were soooo many Beautiful things, that soooo many talented people had made. I wish I could just remember all the ideas I saw, and make just a few of them, in my spare time!!!! I couldn’t let you pass by without speaking to you, because I forward to reading your email daily. I will be going to the Fall sale in September. Have a Blessed weekend. Nita
