San Francisco

Happy Friday, friends! It’s been a while since I’ve shown my face so, here I am! In this picture, I’m in San Francisco with my husband – our first trip away together since our son was born. 
California, Carmel in particular, turned out to be one of my favorite places in the US that I’ve visited. Key West is tied for the top spot though. Do you like to travel? What are your favorite places in the US that you’ve been?

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. -Ephesians 3:20-21

Making Vinyl Lettered Champagne Flutes

by

Here’s a quick behind-the-scene look at how I make these Champagne flutes that I sell on Etsy. If only it was this quick! Not pictured: my @silhouette.inc Silhouette Cameo doing all the hard work cutting out the designs, and me boxing it up for shipping (my least favorite part of the process ?).
