And the Heavens opened...

For anyone familiar with West Texas, you know that we receive little rain. For the past several years, we've been under a drought...but this year.....this year God has gifted us with so much rain!

It's an enormous blessing to receive a short bout of rain at some point in the day, but to have overcast, drizzly weather two and three days in a row is something extremely special!

We haven't had to water our grass at all this spring! These pictures were taken yesterday evening. My view hasn't changed much since then, but I am loving it so much!

 This is actually perfect crafting weather. Since my hubby decided to do me a huge favor and take the boys for the afternoon, I'm going to try my hand at painting a few canvases for Penelope's room. I'm excited for the project, but intimidated as well. I am not at all familiar with painting techniques, so this will be a true learning experience for me! I will definitely post the results when they're done, which could be a few days or even weeks. So check back often!!

Hello!

Hello Everyone! I realize that it has been several years since I last posted anything. I'll be honest, I lost interest in blogging almost immediately after starting this blog. But for months now, I have considered jumping back into the blogging world. I need a creative outlet and this seemed to be the most logical place for the time being. So here I am!

I'll admit, even though I have felt ready to blog for months already, I put it off, telling myself "I need to redesign my blog first. I need it to look pretty" or "I need to have more professional looking pictures to post before I start. I need to take some photography classes first". Today, I decided it was time to start, regardless of the way my blog looks or the quality of my pictures! So rather than seeing a perfectly perfect blog, you'll get to watch me learn and improve through my posts.

I never properly introduced myself, even at the creation of this blog. My name is Tina. I am the mother to three beautifully imperfect kids, Evan, Mason and sweet little Penelope (who is currently throwing a fit over who knows what). I'm married to a man that has challenged everything I thought I knew about myself, yet has helped me grow in so many ways. I love using my creativity, whether it's redoing furniture, decorating for events, doing crafts or in this case, writing. I just survived my first home reno which allowed me to express myself in my home. I'm currently assisting in planning and designing a wedding as well as decorating my baby girl's nursery. As you can see, I don't limit myself to any one type of creative avenue.

I'm excited to see where this blog takes me and to get to know my readers! Thanks for stopping in!
