Crazy Love

If there is one book you must read this spring, I recommend Crazy Love by Francis Chan. It is an amazing and heartfelt book that challenges how you view Christ's love for you. I am a third of the way in and WOW... my heart and mind have been rocked. So read it!

Love Never Fails

Love is not proud
Love does not boast
Love after all
Matters the most

Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside

Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you

Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time

Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don’t

Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you

When my heart won’t make a sound
When I can’t turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this
Greater than this

Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way
The truth the life

Love is the river than flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you

Brandon Heath.
I love this song.

Georgia Ladies Retreat

This past weekend was Georgia UPCI Ladies Retreat. We raised $124 for Mother's Memorial, which supports missionaries, foreign and in the USA, as well as Tupelo Children's Mansion and New Beginnings. I'm really glad I got to be a part of this, and that I was able to show people what I can do!

Ladies Retreat in general draws a more "mature" audience, and so I was a little disappointed at first with how little business we were doing in comparison to the other booths, but I felt much better after convincing myself that we were the boutique to everyone else's department store... thanks to Alison, Brandon and Matt for helping me get over the sadness! I just have to understand that it's definitely not for everyone. However, I'm glad so many people were able to buy for their younger family members and friends.

We sold a lot of headbands in the end, and I met a lot of cool people:

Terri is in Columbus as well, and she takes denim jeans and makes them into pants. I helped sell at her table, so she is repaying me in love and my own denim jean skirt with a victorian train in the back. When I get it, I'll post some pictures!

Born Again Jeans is the brainchild of Wendy from Fort Oglethorpe. She takes jeans and turns them into adorable skirts with embellishments, fused fabric, ribbon and buttons. I LOVE these skirts and got one in exchange for some wonderful headbands. You can find her on Ebay - user name SkirtLady76 - I think.. I can't remember the numbers!!!

All the other headbands as well as Alison's awesome crotcheted flower pins are online at ilovejesusalotdoyou.etsy.com. BUY THEM!!! :)

New Layout... yes?

Let me know what you think about the new layout! tried to be creative and colorful... turquoise and neon green is my new favorite combination!

Buttons and Bows update

For all of you who want to get a Button and Bows headband from me either through personal contact or through etsy,

I am going out of town for the weekend, and will not be able to put headbands up until after I'm back on saturday! I was hoping to put some up before I left, but I'm taking all my headbands with me and hoping to sell them for charity at the retreat I'm attending. I will be back up for business Saturday night, with hopefully some good pictures to help you better decide which one fits you best. :) and as always, just let me know what you want, and I'll make it for you!

Thanks,
