Who are you…
…and what have you done with my husband? That was my thought when my husband called me at 7:30 am this morning. (He is preaching this Sunday, so he went to the church super early to practice.) “Hello?”, I answered in a groggy voice letting him know I was sleeping soundly when the ring of the […]
Amy’s Manifesto
I received some amazing e-mails a couple of days ago in response to my “Overwhelmed” post. Women wanted to share their stories with me and while all of the stories are different, the idea was the same. They were churning through life and finally got tired of it. (I shared my own tired-of-churning experience in my […]
overwhelmed
I’ve tried to write a post about Lucketts and I keep staring at a blank page or I write something and then delete it. It was a very overwhelming weekend and I don’t even know how to write about it. I feel like I need to stop the clock and write about 30 posts to really capture […]
It’s in the details
Thanks so much for all of the sweet comments yesterday! I received some amazing e-mails as well that had me all teary-eyed again! Some of you thought I sounded a bit down yesterday, which I wasn’t at all. I was (and am) overwhelmed in a good way. When I didn’t know how to write about […]
Shopping at Lucketts

Lucketts Recap 2012

Say hello to “Mustard Seed”
Come on…what else could I name the yellow in my milk paint line? Yep. It’s “Mustard Seed” yellow. It’s sort of a warm honey, muted mustard color. I started out with a stronger yellow, but it looked more like school bus than mustard seed, so I had to go back to the drawing (mixing) board […]
’twas the night before Lucketts
Well, here it is…Lucketts Eve. I am about as nervous and excited as a kid before Christmas. I’ve been preparing and shopping for weeks and I’m now just over 12 hours away from the event. Whew. We dropped our stuff off at Lucketts yesterday, but it’s just stacked under a tent, not arranged in any […]
