Free Download....

Posted by Christina // 17 Replies

Everyone loves a free download.
Everyone loves a throwback quote.
Can I get an Amen. If you’ve followed for a while, you know I have a giant frame wall lurking on my to-do list. It has only been at the top of the list for about eight months. It is one of those tasks that I am terrified to start, because in my head it looks amazing but what if on the wall it just looks amazingly awful.

So I make excuses. We don’t have enough frames. The bathroom renovation will surely knock the frames off the wall. We have to cover the return vent first. I can’t find art I like. Yada, yada, yada.

The remedy: I have started making my own frame wall art. Well, little miss little miss little miss can’t be wrong. ‘Member that catchy little tune? How about Matchbox 20, do you remember them? Me too. I still love that song. Sorry if it is stuck in your head now, but feel free to sing it all day. I know I will be.

You can sing it on our Facebook page and I will get in on the karaoke session with you. Or holler on Twitter and we can sing in rounds.

All of the downloads are 8 x 10 files.
Just pick your favorite color and put it in the comments and we will send you the file. Make sure you leave your email, and feel free to grab multiple colors.

Then sing all night long…all night….all night.

If you like the download, you can gain my undying love by pinning it. I’ll give you my first-born for sharing it on Facebook.

Obviously kidding, sort of, but sharing is caring my friends.

Funny Karma Story: Yesterday I was talking to a friend about making mix tapes for an upcoming road trip. I told her I could listen to anything but Nickelback, because Nickelback makes me cringe. That same friend also gave me instructions last night on how to offer free downloads to readers (so go thank her). Which allowed me to share the print above, the one that has been on my computer since February. That same friend has also pointed out, this quote is not a Matchbox 20 song. It’s a Chad Kroger song….it’s a Nickelback song. Is this my life? Apparently, I don’t hate Nickelback as much as I thought since I am memorializing them all over my frame wall and the internet. Say a prayer for me, I’ve entered full on depression mode.

Oh the shame.

Friday Favorites....for mom

Posted by Christina // 7 Replies

This Friday I have a lot on my mind, like the fact that Mother’s Day is this weekend and I haven’t even started stringing pom-pom garland and crafting gold leaf floral bouquets. I’m not a very good blogger, or daughter apparently.

The problem with waiting until the last-minute to start planning your holidays is that you can’t order cute lockets online and procrastination flowers are always on the pricey side. So craft I must and craft I will.

For those of you that are sinking in the same puddle, one solution I have found is Etsy prints. A lot of times after you buy them, the seller will just send you the file to print. Of course, every shop is different but this technique has gotten me out of many a bind.

Here are some of my Mama reppin’ favorites. 1. One of my favorite books growing up.
2. Could this be anymore perfect.
3. Totally adorable.
4. Ain’t it the truth.
5. My mama’s favorite quote.
6. Such a great song, perfect for mothers.
7. My all-time favorite quote.
8. So cute for the new mom.

Have you already got all your mother’s day shenanigans planned out? We luckily have Tim’s mothers present all figured out, thanks to a sweet little hint she gave us at Christmas. Better late than never right, at least that is what I am telling myself. If only my mom gave hints.

What are you getting your mom?
For the moms, what are you hoping for?
Is it inappropriate to finger paint your present still?

We need you to decide.....

Posted by Christina // 27 Replies

Tim and I are at a stand still.

We have been working on a frame wall for a couple weeks now, and one of our sweet readers (hi Janelle) sent us some inspiration shots including a happy little print from Urban Outfitters. I loved the print but I wanted to make it more sentimental by using one of our vacation photos as the backdrop.

Herein lies the problem….we can’t decide between two finalists.

Can you help? We are going to print the winner in a gargantuan frame to showcase the “theme” of our frame wall. If you haven’t guessed, the theme is adventure.
I can’t wait to get it done and show you more.

Both of those photos hold very special meaning to us, because they were two of our favorite places we have ever been. Tim’s was taken in Camden, Maine and mine was taken in the mountains of Vermont.

Which would you choose?

I told Tim I would go with his if we could do colorful letters. Oh I should mention that we are open to suggestions. Just don’t be mean, if you hate it all then move along….or find me the Urban Outfitters print please and thanks.

Tim or Christina. Christina or Tim.
Pick a side, any side.
