    Start Stenciling It…I would use either Casablanca or Poppy in my guest bedroom, bathroom, or dining room. If I could get away with it, I’d use them in every room! But, that would be just slight overkill. 😉

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    Start Stenciling It on the highest wall of all, the ceiling, around all the lighting fixtures with the MF020 Citrus Branches Stencil, to make the decor feel breezy and bright.

  • Shout out for National Pet Day to Finley who came at the perfect time to bring our family joy! After losing our beloved Bentley, I really thought I wouldn’t want another dog for awhile. Just about a month later last fall, this precious Mini Goldendoodle captured my heart from @d_shalom_goldendoodles! To say we are in love with him would be an understatement! He is super sweet, smart and just the best!

  • Miss Lilah Chapel danced beautifully in her very first dance recital! I enjoyed every second and might have shed a few tears! She stepped out on stage and starting waving at me, pointing telling everyone I was her mommy and saying hi!

God surely is so good! . . . #lakewoodranch #woodlandfineartsacademy #dancerecital #ballerina #ballerinasofinstagram #sweetgirl #danceforjesus #dancingforjesus
