Hi beautiful friends! I hope you’re all having a great weekend.
I wanted to give you a little peek into my weekend world so far…
During my morning run on Friday, I picked some more wild daisies and wished I had a nice contrasting coloured vase to put them in. So this morning, I sprayed painted this dollar store vase to coordinate with my beachy sign. Such an easy way to makeover an inexpensive and plain vase.
And speaking of makeovers, would you please come along with me as I show you the next little makeover; well HUGE makeover?
Our youngest son had been growing his hair for over a year as he wanted to donate it to Locks of Love. A beautiful organization that makes hair pieces for children undergoing cancer treatment and other medical diagnosis.
Over the last several months, he was constantly being mistaken for a girl. Even though I know deep down it bothered him a little, he didn’t budge until he knew he had reached his goal of 10″. We are so proud of him…
I was so sad to see his hair being cut off; he had these beautiful red and blonde natural highlights, but at the same time, I am so happy to know that someone will benefit from his gorgeous hair. Tristan has such a beautiful soul and the way you see him pictured here is his every day being. Always a smile on his face, ready to help anyone with anything.
My three boys; the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree does it?
I’m also about to get extremely busy with a project for church camp. I’m looking forward to sharing some pictures and some really exciting news with you about this particular project. Let’s just say God’s works are amazing!
I started painting one of 5 panels, each of which will measure 11’X3 ‘. It’s going to be a lot of work, especially with the kiddies finishing up school this week. I’ll try and post updates and sneak in the occasional craft if I can.
The theme for this year is a bamboo forest. I made several of these bamboo canes out of tons of paper roll tubes, with some measuring up to 11′ or so….
Before I get too deep into my bamboo forest adventure, I hope I can finish this little project I stared last week. Here’s a hint….
…and another hint…this old window frame.
And finally, I’ll leave you with the mural I painted last year.
I hope to show you many more pictures next week.
Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend.
Thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello…
luv y’all bunches!

happy “almost” sunday 🙂
Congrats to your son. My 21 year old son donated 10 inches of his hair in April. My son has always loved having long hair and I’m sure he will grow it out again. Thanks for your wonderful blog.
You have such a giving son!! How awesome that he did that!! Love the pictures of your mural, so pretty!
Your kind, sweet, talented and beautiful inside out!.
I love your vase that matches your awesome beach sign.
It’s no mystery where you son gets his acts of generosity!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

two of my daughters have both donated their hair to locks of love…awesome cause! 🙂
Wonderful commitment by your son – very admirable! I have to say he looks very handsome though with his new cut!
Well, I am not supposed to be on the computer today but….when I saw your name pop up…welll…here I am! Your son is such a beautiful kid! It just shines through him. Your whole family (INCLUDING YOU)? GORGEOUS! You are all just beautiful!!! You husband and boys are handsome and you are just beautiful. Your skin is perfect..and looks like it was kissed by the sun..or maybe it was kissed by the Son?
Happy Bible Camp. We signed our 3 granddaughters up today and I am praying their parents will let them go…They have been before so I think it will be okay! xo Diana
Oh Lucy. I’m speechless. What an extraordinary amount of compassion your Tristan has! Bravo, young man. J x
Lucy,
What a selfless act your son has done.
God bless.
Lucy, You are as beautiful on the outside, as I already knew you were on the inside!! AND your son is precious! Yes, he looks like his dad, but I bet a big chunk of that heart comes from you! I can not wait to show my daughter this post (9 yo) who is growing her hair out for the same cause! My mom died several years ago to cancer and my children never got to meet her. One day, my daughter came and told me she wanted to do this. It touches my heart and I know that the Holy Spirit is in their little hearts to have a desire to do this! Thank you so much for sharing! I am posting a pix of my daughter at her Lemonade Stand! You can see how long her hair is! The mural is awesome and I will look forward to seeing the ‘bamboo!’ Blessings and thank you for the well wishes!! Christie
