Happy St Patrick's Day!

It's been an incredibly quiet week on the business front. Trying to recover from last week's show. Also celebrated my nephew's wedding and did a couple of photo shoots.

Please be warned that I'll be switching website platforms very soon, so please be patient if we're down for a couple of days.

Here are this week's bookmarks. Remember to right click, save as.

Please note that the younger kids have more than normal. I got these images from Bible Wise, so credit goes to them. The two images on the bottom can be cut and glued into the inside of the regular kids' bookmark.

Hello, my friends! What a busy week!!!

My main objective was to get prepared, set up, and keep an eye on my booth at the Simple Treasures Boutique. That alone felt like a full time job, though I am happy with how my booth turned out.

Set up for that was on Tuesday, so Monday was a mad dash to get everything ready! Then, like I said, we set up on Tuesday.

Wednesday morning I went up for a couple of hours and was pleasantly surprised that my good friend, BatJen stopped by (get it, BatJen and Robyn....). We spent the morning enjoying the booths and then I had to race home (don't worry, I didn't speed) to get Juliana to voice lessons and both Vaughn and Paisley were performing at their Parent Teacher Conferences that night. We didn't get to scouts and Roger worked crazy late.

Thursday, we celebrated Roger's birthday, even though it was actually on Saturday. He got a beard shave and trim, we went to dinner, then enjoyed Captain Marvel with our FanX family.

Check out this incredible photo from Mark Loertscher (who happens to be my 3rdish cousin!)

We loved the movie, btw!!

Friday was no less crazy. WIC appointments, my security shift at Simple Treasures, and spending the time at some of our favorite people's house. Roger grew up with a group of kids all his same age and has stayed friends with them for this whole time. We were thrilled to spend all of Friday evening and all day Saturday with one of them (and his family, of course) in their home. They were so generous. We love every minute we get to spend with them and can't wait to see them again.

Saturday evening, after an incredible late lunch with friends, was takedown. We were exhausted by the time we were done, but had promised the kids Fiiz. Let's be honest.... sometimes we promise that as an excuse to get it ourselves! 

Today was so wonderful to rest a little bit. Even in the resting, Roger had 2 church meetings today and I also had one. Then we celebrated Roger's birthday again by going to my parent's house for a delicious dinner.

Somehow, in all of that, I was able to paint a new painting. What do you think? There's more to this story later, but it's definitely a later. (the painting was based on a photograph from one of my friends, Danae Lilyquist. I'll post a side by side next week!)

It's not in the shop yet.

OH! And another thing! If you head to my instagram page https://www.instagram.com/geekgirlph/ , I'm having a sale on all of my leftovers from Simple Treasures. I have some fun stuff left!

But shopping is not why you've searched for this post, haha! It is for bookmarks, which are SO late this week! Please forgive me for that. I am a little sad that I didn't choose to study as much last week as I should have. This week, however, I'll be better!!

This week I have been SO busy!! I'm trying to get ready for the Simple Treasures Boutique that starts this coming Wednesday. I have lots of prints, but felt like I needed to play with the rest of the hymnbooks. Here are some of the samplings to add to what I posted last week.

This last one- these eggs- I did something like this for Valentine's day. They are just little watercolor pictures. You get the paintbrush wet and can then paint the pics! So fun.

If you're around Farming between Wed-Sat, you should stop by the Legacy Events Center and check out the Simple Treasures Boutique. It's $1 to get in and there are some pretty amazing vendors there!

Anyway, here are the bookmarks for this week.

I'm beginning to love these blog posts so I can let you know what I've been up to!

This week, it's hit me how close Simple Treasures Boutique is and how INCREDIBLY unprepared I am. But the Lord has performed several little miracles on my behalf that have helped in this aspect. One thing I was worried about was inventory. I had half of what I needed and didn't have the budget to replenish  the rest. Then, one day, while I was writing in my business notebook, I received a FLOOD of inspiration! So many ideas came flowing faster than I could write. Now, I know I can't do all of these ideas, but it was so great to have so much to choose from.

I've decided to have a whole bunch of EGG STUFFERS! Last night, I hired a friend to come over and help me with these tags and envelopes.

I've also started making Page Wreaths. This is the first one I did- and it has already sold!!! I'm so stoked. I'm going to try a couple of different styles this week on top of this one.

I still have FAR more ideas than time, but I'd like to know- what non-candy things do you put in YOUR eggs and what Spiritual Gifts do you give for Easter?

I do know what you actually came here, for, so here ya go! A reminder to right click, save as.

Can I tell you how much I love this class?! On the one hand, it's teaching me good habits that I have desperately been lacking (*cough, record-keeping, cough*), but on the other hand, it's confirming that what I have going here really is a good thing! Now if I can just stay focused and make time to paint more, things would be so much better!

On that note, I'd love to hear your feedback about my business. Reviews on my etsy page, comments on the blog, shares on IG or FB go a LONG way for me. Both for my confidence and to reassure me that I'm doing what the Lord wants me to. Thanks so much for being part of my tribe.

Without further ado, the bookmarks for the coming week. Note that the graphic on the tri-fold is NOT by me, but the website where I found it IS on the bookmark itself. Remember to right-click and save as to get these images on your computer.

Hold up, one more thing. You know I work in themes, right? So here are a few of my LIGHT themed pieces, available in the store. I'll even link them for you so you can purchase them easily. If you want a lot of them, I recommend using the 5 5x7 feature to mix and match!

Naturally, I have them all combined in SCRIPTURE STICKERS! These are my pet favors right now.

I did realize that several of these are NOT in the shop. If you like any of the following and want it available as prints, please either comment here or send me a message on IG or FB and I'll get it in the shop ASAP.

Before I present  the bookmarks this week, I want to announce that I'm doing something a little different this month.

So be sure to get yours soon! I'll be at the next Simple Treasures show and they could totally sell out there!!
