InstaFriday

{Giveaway closed.  Winner is Paige!}

Every week we tell the stories behind the filtered pictures.

No matter how bad a week I had, I’m always amazed at the sweetness I capture on my phone.

InstaFriday is good for my soul.  Seriously.

So join us, and follow me on Insta…I’m jeannettg!

One, two, three, four little heads.

All jammied and ready for bed.

Daddies are the funnest.  Because not only do they announce (loudly might I add) that we’re watching Star Wars together, he ramps up the volume on our surround sound so high that window rattles and picture frames shiver.

Not even kidding.  Movie theater status.

I guarantee you my neighbors can hear it.  And my kids think it’s the BEST EVER.

Me?  Gives me anxiety.  But my vote doesn’t really count.

I see stuff like this and all I can think of is “WHYYYYYY?????”

With birthdays around the corner, please note that you might want to hang onto your receipt if you buy this for my kids.  Just sayin’.

Now, I know I just bemoaned GINORMOUS stuffed animals…and in the next breath, I bought one.

BUT IT’S A POUND PUPPY NEWBORN WITH THE CARRYING CASE!!!!

99 cents.

I about died when I saw it.  I had this exact same one.  And I also had the grey and the chocolate brown puppies.  I feel like my life won’t be complete until I obtain those too.  I may succumb to ebay soon.  It just seems wrong to only have ONE of the puppies.

P.S. Lucy adores it.  So there.

I’m always looking to learn more stuffs when it comes to my camera.

I can shoot on manual, but I know that’s not even scratching the surface.

I’m enjoying this photography video series.  I can catch a few minutes in bed…which is about all my brain can take by the end of most days.

Slow and steady wins the race, right?

I’m co-hosting a baby shower for a dear friend this weekend.

I love getting the details together.

And this might be my new favorite.  Took me all of 5 minutes and SO stinkin cute.

You guys.

You ever see something on the internet and think it’s cute, but when you actually get it in the mail, you legit gasp aloud?

This.

I own many a print from lots of different vendors.

Lindsay’s stuff is out of this world.  Whole ‘nother level.

The color is so deep and rich…it looks like the original.  Not just a print out.  (Sadly, I’ve ordered and paid for quite a few prints that I felt like looked like mediocre quality home print outs.)

I cannot get over how gorgeous these are.  No lie.

So, here’s the deal…Lindsay wants to give away one $25 shop credit!  

You will die.  Promise.  It’s all too much goodness.

Let’s make it easy…visit Pen and Paint, drool over all the rainbow lovely, and come back and leave me a comment telling me what your favorite print is.  One comment per person.  I’ll pull a winner Monday.  Capiche?

And while you’re here, tell me about your week!

Grab a button, link up, and visit one another!

Yay for Fridays and pretty Pen and Paint giveaways!

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.

    I adored pound puppies when I was a kid too! In fact, I think there may be a few lurking around my grandparent’s house. When we travel there this summer, I’ll take a look to see if we’ve got the ones you’re looking for! I adored everything in Pen & Paint’s shop. If I had a credit, I’d pick the Love The Messy, Love the Beautiful print. And if I don’t win, I might just have to splurge on it myself!

    Pound puppies, cabbage patch dolls, Lisa Frank. I love that my girls will have that something special memory as well… Hmmm. Polly Pocket, Littlest Pet Shop, what will it be??? When I saw the “Here Comes the Sun” print… FELL! IN! LOVE! Finding my way as my family unit changed was a real struggle for me. When I saw that print, it made me realize the sun was always there. It just looked a little different than what I thought it should look like.

    Oh. My. Word. My in laws just gave us my husband’s old Pound Puppy, complete with shirt that says “Boozer” because that was what my husband named it. I hope your new addition has a better name than that!

    Tears welled up in my eyes when I saw, “She turned her can’t into cans and her dreams into plans”. I have some big decisions to make in the next few months and have been scared to death about it all. I would get that print in a heartbeat!

  18. 18

    “Love the messy…” is beautiful! I love the colors.

  19. 19

    Hmm….so hard to choose! Right now, I’d pick “do small things with great love.” seems appropriate for my stage in life. hugs to you, friend!

    I can’t choose just one thing in her shop!! I love her work…she is fabulous. But I just really, really, really love the “Comparison is a thief of joy” print and the “Tomorrow is fresh with no mistakes” print!

    Oooh, how to choose!! I love the Tea print… also the Mother Theresa quote (Do small things with great love)… and many more besides!

  29. 29

    Oh my goodness, so hard to choose! I’m between the Do Small Things with Great Love rainbow note cards and the Anne of Green Gables quote. Super cute stuff!

  30. 30

    I love all her prints! I think I would get some cards or the “Do small things”. Thank you! Love your blog.

  31. 31

    LOVE!!! I would pick the “do good” print. For my office :] I’m a middle school counselor and hope that at least one of my children goes out and makes the world better! That print pretty much sums it up.

  32. 32

    Love the Comparison is the Thief of Joy print – need to hear that every day! Thank you for this opportunity!

  39. 40

    uuggghhhh!!! I don’t think I can choose! They are all gorgeous! I love the “live a thankful life” (need that super huge) and the can’t use up Creativity one. sigh. Love. Love. Love.

  40. 41

    Ohhh I love all of the prints – they’re all so pretty! But, I think I’d pick the “choose joy” print – that has been my mantra-of-sorts lately.

  41. 42
    Michelle M says:

    Toss between Live a Thankful Life and Be Still and Know……such good reminders to hang where you will see them often!

  42. 43

    Definitely love ‘Do small things with great love’ – Mother Teresa. But all of these prints are beautiful and hooray – reasonable international postage!

  43. 44

    “She turned her Can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans”… so fitting for my season of life right now. It’d be great to see on my bedroom wall every morning and night! Progress takes time and change, I’m not the best at being patient and I tend to like things the way they are. Here’s to the “cans!”

  44. 45

    Do small things with great love is perfect for my nursery! I love yellow.

  45. 46

    That pound puppy just brought back SO many memories! Now I think I’m going to have to search ebay for them for my boys. :) Love the dipped plastic ware…so cute! And for the giveaway I love her kitchen art print.
