He is Risen! Need a banner?

I was really dissapointed when I FINALLY found my Easter boxes this year. I wanted more. I wanted to proclaim that "HE IS RISEN!" I wanted a really cool banner for our entry way but you see, I am NOT crafty and I forgot that and I attempted and attempted again and read tutorial after tutorial and then I went to Etsy. And saw this:


made by:




then I looked aorund a little and saw that Bekah Jennings

was featured and held onto these nuggets:

"In the first grade there was a day where all the students in my class came dressed up as what we wanted to be when we grew up. I wore an apron — I wanted to be a mother. So I am living my dream as the mother of 4 children, ages 7, 5, 3 and 1. I am the joyful wife of Andy, an almost Ph.D. in mathematics. We live in the Evergreen Historic District of Mesa, Arizona, which means lots of trees, lots of yard work, and great neighbors."

when asked what she does:

"I create a home where my family and I can see the ordinary miracles of God’s hand in our lives.” I wrote that as my personal mission statement and job description four years ago and tacked it up all over my house..."

You should read the whole article for yourself and learn about her creative process and crafting with her littles. It is well written and worth reading in it's entirity.

Wow. Don't ya just love her?

I contacted her and she offered all you readers  free shipping! WOO HOO (just use code FIRSTSHIPSFREE)

Since I waited SOOO long to get my act together for Easter it is probably too late for you all :( BUT check out what she has for 

4th of July:

Enjoy:)
