Shop for Sharlie

One of my favorite people from blissdom this past year was Jessica from Allora handmade – not only is she talented and gorgeous, she has a generous heart and a wonderful sense of humor. She and Maya made a flight from Nashville to Salt Lake City one of the most interesting I’ve ever had (although our fellow passengers might not have thought so – I don’t think we stopped talking the whole way there!)

Recently jessica asked for some help for a friend of hers and I knew I had to help. Now I’m asking for yours…

 

 

This is Sharlie.
Sharlie is a wife and mom.
She loves to read.
She loves to laugh.
She has an infectious smile.
And the best hugs on the planet.
Sharlie is also awaiting a double lung AND heart transplant.
She is an inspiration.
A fighter.
A miracle.
Jessica (one of Sharlie’s best friends) and Mique reached out to the creative community to come up with a way to raise funds for her impending medical bills. They created a Shop for Sharlie- full of tutorials, printables, and advertising opportunities. Every single dollar raised will go straight to Sharlie’s Angels. So shop ’til your heart is content. And in return it will help Sharlie get her new heart.

So I made a poster in 3 different color schemes – it’s 8×10, ready to frame and has some of the things our family value and love…

 

 

And here’s a bonus for you – if you buy anything from the shop, come back here and leave a comment with what you bought – I will draw a name and that person will win a custom poster for their home. You can choose a poster for your kids, your own family values poster, whatever you like!

XOXO

Friday Favorites – the random edition

I used to do this a while back and it was one of my favorite types of posts. Now that my boys are BOTH in school all day (*sniff), I might actually post here more than once in a blue moon!

  • Jam Hands - Ali has a FABULOUS recipe blog, including one of MY recipes! She has also made blogger do things I never imagined it could do.
  • Martha Stewart for the ipad – THIS is how all magazines will be in a few years. Videos for cooking and crafts, audio tutorials, pictures that change with just a touch, portability? My love for my ipad continues…
  • The Help – great book, can’t wait to see the movie. I listened to this as an audiobook, and I was so sad when it was over!
  • This post – Rebecca is one of my oldest (but youngest) blogging friends and the first blogger I met in person. Love her, her kids and babes yet-to-be.
  • Composition books – about 15 and counting. I use them for everything, from general notetaking, to journaling, Christmas gift lists, recipes, organizing and projects. This is my favorite time of year – I can get them for a quarter!
  • House of Smiths – Shelley is one of the newest rock stars in the blogging world – talented, creative, and handy with tools AND a glue gun, she’s also sweet, funny, and adorable.
  • What they give us – My friend Jules is an amazing writer. My favorite word for this post is “visceral”.  Tell me you can’t smell the onion…

Share your favorite things in the comments!
