Oh my. I love all of this. Just looking at these pictures made me smile, then envious, I must admit. But mostly just happily smiling. I love your needlework map. How ambitious of you. I also love how you you placed your shelves in your living room, all the globes, and the different colored drawers. I rarely comment, but I so enjoyed looking at this post today.

So beautiful, every single photo! I was wondering …. I have been wanting {for a long time now} to get the word 'trust' tatooed on my arm … sorta still scared about it and all but really ready to have that word right there in my face every day as it's a BIG lesson the Lord continues to work on me about. ANYHOW … would you ever consider creating my tatoo for me? I would want the word trust with a few of your small swirlies – I don't want anything to big or crazy. Just curious if you'd ever do that 'cause I absolutely adore your handwriting! =) Kathy
