Black Friday yo.

Hey, there. I'm going to let ya in on a big ol' secret.
I hate Black Friday.
No wait, it's not a secret at all.
I just hate it. It is so stressful!
I mean people seriously die. About electronics, ya know? So so sad.
Anyway, I like it alright if I can do it from the safety of my home & the warmth of my covers... at a normal human time.
None of this 3 am.
What is wrong with you people?
Ok, all I'm trying to say is this Friday (11/23) and all weekend through Cyber Monday (11/26) I'm giving you a free card for every $10 you spend.

Go ahead, spend $100. I'll send you TEN free cards with you order.

You're welcome.

Also thank you. $100 is a lot of cards, friend.

All you need to do is leave me a note with your order & tell me the card your heart desires!

Holla.

Also I finally have Christmas cards.
I mean, Christmas card. Just one.
It's all I could manage. But at least it's cute right? :)
And it's a bundle deal! 4 cards for $12 which, technically speaking is a 25% discount.

Well, alright.
There's my exciting news for your Monday morning.
I'm thankful for all ya'll & I'm thankful for internet shopping.
Happy Shopping!

Bow+Arrow Inspiration (1 Timothy1:7)

Remember awhile back when I shared about how I was learning to fight fear & anxiety?

Well, throughout the process I've been completely in love with 2 Timothy 1:7.

It's so comforting to me because it doesn't just say to sit around and wait to see what God will do.

Although I know that sometimes that is the appropriate response, there are plenty of other times that I believe the right thing to do is to use the tools we've been equipped with & get after it! 

That's why this verse is so empowering for me.

It doesn't say, "stop being afraid, you big baby," or "think logically, you know God's in control." 

It says that we were given a spirit of POWER! 

Not only that but love & self-control.

I'm finding that if I focus my time & energy on loving better and exercise some discipline with where I let my thoughts wander, I don't have much left to fuel my fears. 

And that is why this print is near & dear to my heart. 

That's why it's in my favorite colors & hanging in my kitchen. 

So that I can see it every single day & be reminded of it's truth & power. 

It's why you can have it for 40% off through Friday :) 

Because I want you to hang it in your kitchen & see it everyday, or give it to a friend who's having a tough time, or frame it up & give it to your mom for Christmas. 

Or do all 3 because it's only 9 bucks!
