featuring joyful things

I've been featured today at Diary of Dave's Wife. I became a follower of her blog to receive an adorable "You Are So Loved" printable and shared with her what I did with it (as I blogged about here). 

Click here to see how others used this adorable printable.

joyfully linkin' up!

Today I'm linked up at Someday Crafts as part of the Valentine Link Party with my Burlap Flag idea that I created and posted a few days ago.  Check out all the Valentiney goodness here.

joyfully back on ETSY

I'm back on ETSY (click here), but with PRINTABLES this time!! I've been going crazy with water bottle labels lately. Check out these I made for my friend at the arrival of her new baby girl and the ones I made for Jake's Indiana Jones party (here). 

Also, I got to working on a personalized Valentine card, which you can also purchase in my ETSY SHOP (with your child's pic of course - even tho my Allyboo could warm anyone's heart).

i (heart) valentines - burlap flag

I love decorating for Valentine's Day...maybe it's all the pink...and red...and polka dots!! Here are pics of my door decor and a Valentine's flag I made from some burlap & other materials I already had. 

I (heart) Valentine's!!

joyful about birthdays...belated posts

A few pics from the boys' birthday parties. My oldest baby is now 11 years old and had a BMX party with all his friends. Here are a few highlights:

My 2nd baby boy just turned 7 last week and requested all things Indiana Jones for his party...what an adventure!!!

a joyful gift...You Are So Loved

My friend and her husband just welcomed their 4th child this past week...a little girl.  She is their blessing for everything they withstood in his 1 year away from home in Iraq.  She endured that one year with 3 little ones at home and was SUCH a trooper...as was he and we are so thankful for his service!! Kathy and Tom - We love you and welcome your precious baby girl.  Just wanted to share some pics of items I'll be taking to them along with a nice warm meal tomorrow.  BLESSINGS!
