a bunch of stuff

I’ve been sort of all over the place the last few days. I’ve been working on milk paint stuff and book stuff and branding stuff and cleaning and youth group and sleeping in this morning… Just a lot, so I’m feeling a little scattered as I write this post tonight. In addition to the hardware […]
Big Purchases

I shared when I posted FFF this week that I made a couple of big purchases on Thursday, so I thought I would show them off. Here’s one… See that big hardware counter with all of the metal bins? Yeah, that. Woohoo! I bought it from my friend, Karen. She’s told me so many times […]

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.

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 […]
