Moving in November

Moving is not the funnest of subjects thats for sure!  I have yet to blog being that my life has sorta been crazy, and who chooses to move the week of thanksgiving?  Im up late packing…  I started off really good, getting rid of things I won't be taking with me.  Well now I'm at the point of throw everything in a box and lets get out of here.  Its bittersweet I really loved this place and the location.  I can now say that I have lived in Lake Forest Park Wa, and now I will be moving back to Shoreline where I've spend at least a good 10 years of my life.  Its all very sureal to me, the last place that I wanted to go back to.  I mean no one really wants to revisit  there past, although sometimes I think its necessary.  I really am excited to start a new chapter as a new homeowner!  Now all of our hard earned dollars will be spent on decorating and remodeling and making a place to call home.  This really is a major stepping stone, one in which I can say I am super excited about!!  Have I said Im Excited?? Any how in other news I have been working everyday cleaning houses and sometime I bring my daughter with me.  Here are a few pictures I took of her as well as some pictures I have been styling lately.  I cannot wait to set up a craft room a place where I can store all my goodies, a place where I can create! I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving! I am thankful to have such amazing friends and family this truly is what life is all about, Relationships.

Be Blessed, xoxo Erica

My Life Lately

Its been a while since I blogged not because I haven't wanted to, but because there has been a whole lot going on!  I have truly been enjoying styling and taking pictures, lately that has been a lot of fun for me.     I took a photography class in high school but that is about it!  In my blog you probably have seen some drawings and fashion, this Is what I went to college for, and actually got an Apparel design degree.  Six years later I am picking it back up again!  Also for those who know me know that I lead Worship and that is what I truly love to do! I have been Currently working on writing my first Album.  Below is a picture of a wall of art the 4 designs that go up the wall next to each-other were all prints I did in college there is also a light shading of a woman above I did then also.  Well I hate to say I just started putting this wall together and now I have to take it down! Because We are moving, and this time around it is for good! We just purchased our first home!  So I am busy packing!!

I also have had so much fun reading Artful blogging and styling some different thrifty finds!  One of them being a beautiful cross-stitch table cloth that will go on a new table in my new house somewhere! Also there is a beautiful flowered photo I found thrift shopping and I will hang it beautifully on one of my new walls!  So with that said I have been super busy packing and weeding out what needs to go in my life including all areas!  I also have been working a lot on getting together all the elements of why I decided to blog and what this space will mean and represent.  I hope you are enjoying so far and I promise there will be much more creativity soon as well as some new changes.  Eventually I will hope to have a shop up and running and functioning as well!  For now I am packing to move and am getting really excited and ready for my new craft space!  A Space where I can finally work and be free in what I was created for!

      

      

      

      

Good Bye Summer Hello Fall

We are now in November, and now just around the corner are all the festivities that bring a smile to many faces.  I have enjoyed this fall so much, many have also commented how beautiful it is outside, cold yes but beautiful.  As leaves turn from green to there fullest, and natural beautiful colors they pop for just a time and then they fall to the ground and freeze over until next season.  Its just that way, when beautiful moments in life come we must cherish them because soon enough they are gone until the next beautiful moment.  I have never remembered the leaves being so beautiful, truly where have I been?  I guess I am just learning how to stop and appreciate the beauty of all that we have around us.  Life gets so so filled with all of life stuff that many times I forget to stop and as one would say smell the roses!!  So I have been filling my time with more of capturing the beauty of the moment.  I hope that in this season you too will be able to take some time and reflect and just enjoy Gods Creation.  I am continually at awe of this great God who has created so much beauty!  Here are a few pictures I took today! Enjoy!
