Reflection of the week:What is Love?

 

One man's incredible example of living love to the fullest - in sacrifice and joy, bearing the burdens of the other and lifting them both up by it.

Project of the week:Jewelry Display Case

Born of the desperation to organize my jewelry and keep it from tangling and getting cluttered, I decided to make a creative wall peice that also allowed my jewelry to be separated and hung freely without getting tangled or disfigured by kinks in the chains.

Chic of the week:Candles and Wall Sconces

This artistic household accent is a great accent to give a classy ambiance to a room in the home AND is kid friendly because the flame is out of reach.  I love candles and this rustic accent with signature fleur de lis allows me to enjoy them and not worry about the house going up in flames.

Gallery piece of the week:A Colorful Bouquet 

I took this photo at my son's baptism and just loved how bright and colorful it turned out.  I used it as the cover to my Simple Chic page!

New Find, New Friend, New Trend:Conversion Diary
My friend Emily recently steered me to this blog about a women's conversion from Atheism ultimately to the Catholic Church!  I am a sucker for a good conversion story, so my interest was peeked.  On top of many other great features, I love the bloggers "7 Quick Takes Friday" in which she allows other bloggers to list 7 things at random that interest them or pertain to their own blog and post them on her site.  Conversion Diary is this weeks new find...go take a look!
