InstaFriday

Hooray for Friday! I'm so glad it's here, aren't you?! I'm posting late again today because...well, because I'm a late person.  I'm late for most things.  So why should blogging be any different?!   I'm actually blogging in my studio while I'm listening to the sounds of Sam and the kids teaching Sam's mom how to play gin around the breakfast table .  It's very entertaining to say the least! I wish y'all could be flies on the wall to hear him with his mom. He's a stinker, and she's gullible which makes for endless stories and giggles. 

{I just heard Sam say, "GiGi, your official rapper name is gonna be Young Gee-zee. Whattup, Gee-zee?!"}

Back to instaFriday! There's a doozie at the end...wait for it. Here we go!

 These are my new gloves from my SIL Nance.  They were my Christmas gift, and I heart them.  They have that little fancy patch on the fingertips so I can text without taking them off.  The gal at the Starbucks window was quite enamored with them. So I thought y'all might be too.  So I took a picture for ya.

 

My phlox are blooming. In January. In Arkansas. Because the weather has us all terribly confused!  They're confused. I'm confused.  One minute I'm wearing my new gloves, and the next minute I'm opening windows in the house and shedding my cardigan. Then the next minute....

 ...we build a raging inferno of a fire.

{"You're going down to Chinatown, Gee-zee!"}

 I spent a lot of time re-organizing my studio this week after I took it all apart last weekend.  I am deLIGHTed to have added the beautiful portraits of  SYP brides here and there around my room.  They're just so pretty!  And I just cleaned out and straightened and got all orderly. {sigh} Feels good.

{Mom, you're not supposed to tell us what your cards are.}

Conversation hearts. I love them. I eat them by the hands full.  And this week I ate my fair share and then some because I had bags of them left over from my bridal event last weekend.  I was first taken aback by the stamped term "sup babe." Really?  Then I realized there's a whole new conversation-heart-phrasology that resembles what I imagine would be text messages among gangstas.

Then today while I was all dressed in cute trousers, flats, a cardi and my favorite ruffly peony flower pin...I saw it.  A purple conversation heart that said "so fine" had been dropped and lodged inside the petals of my flower. For how long I do not know. 

Conversation Hearts-1.  Amy-0.

{"She hit the flo', next thing I know, Gee-zee got low low low low low low low."}

Wow.

That's my life where we eat big, laugh bigger and love biggest! "From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another..." John 1:16  I hope your week was big and blessed as well!  I'll see y'all back here Monday! xo
