Calligraphy

Wow - I have skipped quite a few months.  No need to fear, I have been working on something fabulous!

Back in July, my sweet friend Gina asked me to do the calligraphy on her envelopes for her wedding.  Then this past month, I did them for my friend Jenny.  Well, word spread and I booked my first client.  Woo Hoo!  Well, the first gave me confident to start this business.

I am still working on my etsy shop, revised blog, etc.  If you have any ideas on how to fancy up a blog, please email me... I would love to hear from you.  bailey.mmr@gmail.com

And without further ado... here are a few sample styles I am working on:

The Lauren

The Robinson

The Brandon

Finally...The Hunger Games

{I jumped on board and have read the first two books in this addicting series.  I am about to start the third so PLEASE DON'T comment on what happens.  Well, I decided to go and see the movie and loved it.  Yes, it was a little teeny bopperish, but the cast list included some heavy hitters.  While I loved Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta, I thought that Stanley Tucci stole the screen as Caesar Flickerman.  He is such an amazing actor, and he really matched the character I had created in my head while I was reading the book.  And Elizabeth Banks made the perfect Effie Trinket.  So yes, I am SOOO trendy by becoming a fan of the Hunger Games, but I high recommend the books and movie.  They are an easy read, yet have some great underlying themes.  

And another reason I loved the movie is because my bestie T. Swift has two songs on the album.  Check out the two songs below.  And please excuse the video for Eyes Open.  It seems Taylor just has not been able to make an actual video, so I opted for the cheesy homemade one.  You know you like it.}

Seasons...

{The fact that March has almost passed makes me excited for April.  Yes, I have already pulled out my wedges and have been showing off my pedicure.  I can't wait to pull out some cute white jeans, tops, and other various spring attire after Easter (and after a few more squats at the gym).  I am dying for these wedges:

I love the fact that spring is a time of rebirth, showing things that are new again.  But with every sunny day, there always can be rainy ones.  This quote from Priscilla Shirer really speaks into my life right now:

“Friend, camp at this mountain with a glad heart. Despite the difficulty of the journey and with all your questions in tow, fully engage in this season of God’s chosen journey for you. Don’t leave your bags packed in hopes God will quickly move you to Canaan. Don’t miss out on what He wants to do “this very day.” Settle in and turn your eyes to the mountain. The Lord wants to reveal Himself to you in a way that will change your life forever.”
- from One in a Million, Priscilla Shirer

I am really trying to engage in both the beginning of the spring season, as well as the "season" of life I am in right now.  Sometimes God wants us to stay on a mountain, so He can fully delight in us.  Just make sure that you pack your hiking boots instead of your wedges.}

Favorite Things These Days

{A few things I am enjoying these days...

This sweet treat I found via pinterest.  I used dark chocolate instead of milk, and they have to be good for you because of the banana, right?

  

Indie Girl Hair Ties.  These have changed my life and are so stylish.  Plus, this brand is from Knoxville, love shopping locally.  

My new bangs!!!  Thoughts?  I texted my life partner on the way home from the salon and said "My hair looks really different."  He said, "Well when I opened the computer and saw google pulled up with Taylor Swift Bangs, I had an idea."}
