Goodness! A Bit of News!

  

Lately, we chased the sun to shoot a petite project for Heather's new "Souvenir," a seasonal lifestyle gazette. We had taken pictures the week before last and then finished up last Monday--- because the good Lord above decided we needed some sun! We became weather freaks {or geeks??!} watching the forecasted weather!  

During the last shoot, the sun would pop in and out from behind the clouds and was kind of funny as we would say," hurry, there's the sun". We would shoot, shoot, shoot and then back behind the clouds it would go! By-a-by-by..........

Do you want to sign up? We know you want to! It's easy, here's how, click here--Souvenir. 

Head over to Heather Bullard's blog to read more & to peek at the other talented contributors! Thank you Heather, we are humbled to be a part of it!

{Goodness, now you know where we've been!!}

Here is our shop announcement of our "going-ons" this past Wednesday!

Verbage from our  Etsy shop........Swan and Shears

Yesterday, Dec. 9th, Darcy & I headed out after packing shipments, without our kidlets! Running some errands--like picking up goodies from our printer {he uses an old Heidelburg press, swoon!}. Stopping to eat Chinese, you know the kind of place that's "a- hole- in- the- wall", dated inside, but squeaky clean and oh, so good. {We shared General's Chicken if you must know!} We stopped in at an antique place and when we asked "how much" his reply was always "$10,000 dollars"! Then to a real "back in the day" variety store! {penny candy and oh, childhood memories! The clerks are always real friendly and a "Merry Christmas" was exclaimed to us as we headed out with our dime store finds........

Have a lovely day! Kara + Darcy {thanks for peeking!}

I love hearing Luke's responses!

{the day after the party he exclaimed "I love all my presents"!} 

Faux Bois contact paper comes in handy for an "L"

The best cake ever! {Jill Renicker's recipe} Mine is always is a little crooked! Oh, well it did have a good side! {I only make one 3- layer cake a year.....I ordered Zach's last year-we'll see, it just take so much time!}
