Ever have those weeks that are just slow enough that for half a heartbeat or so, you start to question whether you've headed down the wrong path? That was me last week. That was me just this past Sunday. My Etsy shopped slowed from the frenzy of commuter hour to a nicely paced drive in the middle of the country. i.e. it didn't even stop. But it slowed to the point where I had the mini-est of panic attacks, questioning whether or not this could really be for real. That the craziness of these past few months were over and that it was all a big joke that God was pulling. Well, all those doubts flew right out the window on Monday and we're back to the juggling always multi-tasking day-to-day frenzy that my life has become. I must admit, I kinda missed this frenzy.

1. Freelance Wisdom from Kristen Drozdowski This post. Love. Needed. Loved. Read it. Once. Twice. Thrice? Not all work is fun - and during those non-fun times, it's important to always love and embrace the fact that you're allowing yourself to follow your dream to do something creative for a living!

Even though I love a great digitally printed logo or sign, you can’t beat the hand-painted signs and lettering that used to cover shops, storefronts and the sides of buildings. I totally agree! Which is all the more reason that I love getting to create so much with lettering in my Etsy shop! I couldn't have said it better myself! And I loved going through all 40 images of such a wide variety of lettering, from the style of the lettering to the placement

Our pastor, Josh Black, writes: Be honest. Marriage & Family are the hardest things you'll ever do in life, but they can also be the most rewarding. Lots of families need help but don't know what to do. I can't wait to share what the Bible gives as the ingredients to a successful home. This next Sunday—and through the rest of the month, our church is launching into a 4 week series on family, marriage, raising kids, and even how to handle stress in life, like time management. And I just wanted to share some of the graphics created for the series
