    I so agree….I’m in my craft/computer room and the other rooms are hollering for some love but they have to wait their turn. lol Tbe doing what you enjoy is sometimes more important. The lavender looks so pretty. I’ve never had any….I can only imagine the wonder scent from your photo. 🙂

    Wow you are so talented with making stills showing the process of wreath making. I make a mess with it but don’t take pictures during the process … lazy me. You’ll have much pleasure from both the fragrance and the pretty wreath. It’s such a treat to visit your blog!! Have a great week (did you send the heat this way? whew!). ????????

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
