Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you are all finding your Black Friday Deals ;) I have a small one of my own… if you sign up for the Portland workshop TODAY you can save $50. Past attendees can get in for $250 :) You can check out all the details right here or just go straight to signing up here.
We just got back from our little SW road trip last week. There really are no words (well, that I can arrange) that can adequately describe the Grand Canyon, Zion and all the places in between and beyond. God’s artwork in all it’s glory. We barely ventured a couple miles off the highway… I can’t wait to go back and dig deeper. Like my words, images don’t do it justice either… but a girl’s gotta try ;)
Accent pieces provided by ZozoBugBaby (flowy-desert-perfect jacket) & Maya’s Curls (my favorite floral headband). Thank you ladies!!! :)
