the rest of the weekend and a craft

exciting news! i ordered a stamp of my photography business logo and it arrived this weekend! i am currently working on creating little cd sleeves out of paper to package my customer's disks. i am in desperate need of a singer, though! i sewed this one by hand, which was not efficient nor did it produce the look i am going for. i am loving the stamp so much, though. all i want to do is stamp everything! it would make a great tramp stamp. too far? okay, moving on.
besides seeing the civil wars in concert {which we can't stop talking about!}, we also ventured to angels antiques to do some perusing during the afternoon thunderstorms. we discovered that we both had this interest of antiques and historical pieces when we were dating and it has been so much fun to begin decorating our home with things that we have found together. we even created a long list of antiques that we want to purchase one day. one of those is an old underwood typewriter that still works. we are what i like to call "pre-shopping" for the future, so one day when we have our own place to display things and are not living in transition and have a little more mulah saved up, we will be ready to buy!

we did add this 1920's kodak camera to our collection over spring break. i found it in one of franklin, tennessee's antique shops. the perfect souvenir to remember our wonderful time in tennessee!


at church this sunday the mwangaza children choir from africa renewal ministries in uganda came and performed a concert. they were amazing and so precious! cornerstone church has partnered with a church in buluba, uganda over the past few years to build a water well, a church, and to help sponsor children to go to school. it was so moving to see the children in person and to hear them sing!

in craft news, i made some little hair pins out of buttons and bobbie pins.
all you need is a hot glue gun, some buttons, and some bobbie pins!
just slide on the button all the way to the end and add a blob of hot glue to hold the button in place. i know, so technical!
ta-da! the finish product. cost about $1.50 and took about 5 minutes. my kind of craft!

I learned how to type on a typewriter like that one back in the day when you had "typing" as a high school course! :D that's why "white out" was invented!
