Creature Of Habit & 3 Things

Yesterday I was a no show because my blog was in desperate need of a behind the scenes overhaul.  Things have been a bit wonky with my contact button and several other little things here and there.  Turns out I needed a serious update.  I get emails quite often about not being able to pin things onto Pinterest from here and I’m happy to announce the Pinterest button at the bottom of each post now officially legit works.  Super pumped about this.  There will be a few minor changes here and there over the next day thanks to Randy over at the Orphan Care Network.  A man who wears many hats!  Thank you Randy!!!

The dashboard where I type all my posts is also different now and wow…I am such a creature of habit and so opposed to change it’s a little hard for me.  I like what I know.  I like what is comfortable.  I like what I’m already well versed in.  Don’t throw me a curve ball and God forbid I have to learn something new or be challenged a bit.  How true this is for my entire life.  How comfortable I like life to feel, but God is moving us in a direction of taking us out of our comfort zones and showing us being a creature of habit is not exactly what He has planned for us right now.  It’s humbling and like a slap in the face to listen as God says “Why did you not trust Me with this?”  “Why did you not think I could handle this?”  “Have I ever left you or let you down?”  “Are My plans not the best for you?”.  I often wonder if I’ll ever learn.  Ha.

Today I’ve got a weirdly sick kid hanging with me at home, but it’s the young lady of the family and she is quite my jam.  It should be a lovely easy going day.  She’s been given strict “rest” instructions.  I’ve got more orders to work on and a house that needs a bit of tidying.  I did want to remind you guys of a few things today.  3 in fact.

1.  The podcast I recored with the kind Jamie Ivey is still up on her site.  You can head over HERE and give it a listen.  You guys have said some mighty kind things which of course just makes me smile and my heart flitter a bit.  Thank you.  Thank you for being just so so kind.  Also you can still enter to win some sets of key fobs just by leaving a comment HERE.  Thank you again Jamie for asking me to chat.  It was wildly fun!  Let’s do it again.

2.  We’re still raising money for the American Heart Association in honor of Amon.  We set a super lofty 5K goal.  So far you guys have kindly donated $855 and that is awesome!  I am also mailing out “thank you” key fobs to everyone who makes a donation of $15 or more.  Once you click on Amon’s page and make your donation just shoot me a message HERE with your name and mailing address.  Last night I hit up the post office late and sent out lots of key fobs.  Crazy thankful you guys! And please feel free to share Amon’s page and story.

3.  And the last really super fun thing is my Noonday Collection party is Thursday from 6-9!  Come early after work if you need to.  I am seriously so excited.  I’ve made my menu…let’s briefly discuss how awesome it is:  Chicken minis, sausage balls, veggies and hummus, mexican dip with chips, carmelitas, snickerdoodles, whooopie pies, gooey butter cake and drinks.  What, what.  {insert raise the roof hands}  I don’t get the opportunity to fill our house with people too often, so when I do, I want you to feel loved and cared for and I want you to have fun and enjoy yourself.  If you’re local…come, hang out, eat your heart out and bring a friend.  I would love to meet some new people so don’t be a stranger…I promise not to do anything weird to you.  I also may have rounded up a stellar lot of fun things to give away as door prizes randomly through out the night.  I’m telling you, this is going to be a really fun night.  You can shoot me an email at pitterpatterart@gmail.com if you have questions.

And if you can’t make the party and still want to order some goodies you can!!!

All you have to do is go HERE between September 11-16th.  Add your items to your cart.  Then when checking out, put “Ashley Mills” in the drop down Ambassador name list and “Laura Kelley” under trunk show name.  Check out and then watch anxiously everyday for your mail person to deliver your amazing purchases.

You will not be disappointed.  I promise!

So that’s all I’ve got today.  Do you have any questions?  Ask away in the comments section if you do and I will answer them.  Thank you guys again for being awesome.  Thank you for being kind and loving and encouraging.  Hope your Tuesday is superb.
