catching up || part two

my family reminds me to be thankful every single day.
be thankful for yours! cling to every moment with them, take pictures, write love notes, hug & often. our time here is short & we take nothing with us when we go, but the memories & the legacy left behind is worth more than any material thing could dream of. xoxo

catching up || part one

i take a lot of pictures.
i love them.
i love taking them, i love looking at them, i love editing them, i love being in them...
i love them.
half of the photos i take don't ever get posted to any social networking platform and they get printed out even less than that sadly! regardless, i still take them, in hopes that one day i print this blog into a book & get them framed & saved somewhere other than this screen and my external hard drive, and so on! 
over the next week of posts, i will be catching up & sharing our latest snippets of the day here in this space & then get back to regularly scheduled sharing after that. enjoy! & have a wonderful week of thanks!

hello friday! you guys... i am seriously swooning over these holiday cards & am so excited to share them with you!

they are designed by my sweet sweet friend Margaret, who is the owner & incredibly talented beauty behind Nightingale Handmade. when she asked to use our photos for this sample & showed me her design i was instantly smitten. we did a collage photo last year for our Christmas card & LOVED it. it's such a great way to share some of your favorite photos from the year or even from your family photo shoot... since we all know how hard it can be narrowing it down to just one (insert wide eyed emoji here). so THIS is a great alternative. 
she offers so many other layouts & designs to choose from as well! head over to her shop HERE & check them out for yourself!
thanks for stopping in! xoxo
