1. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. This week I did minimal decorating on the mantel. As usual, I went with what I had around the house. I cut up some old stationary into hearts and wrapped some twine around the robbin’s egg blue (I’m obsessed with this color) mason jars. Tucked the hearts in for a simple but colorful look. I searched through my fabric scraps and set aside any pink, purple and red fabrics. I cut a bunch of strips of fabric and then tied them in knots to some twine. Nothing too technical here, friends. I cut out some hearts from red burlap and used clothes pins I made last Valentines Day to attach them to the garland. There you have it!
2. Do you know what this is? It is a T-SHIRT rug! I can’t believe I have taken so long to share this fabulous gift with you. This is my birthday gift from my awesome, super special friend Jenni. I have eye-spied these pretty little things on Pinterest and just love them! Jenni know this, she’s a great listener. This rug is so special because it is made out of tshirts. Me, Jenni and tshirts have a close bond with the many scarves we have made. This rug is made out of all the scraps. I joke (kind of, but not really) that no one is allowed to step on it but me. I love it so much!
3. Mr. Barela and I went out on a hot date on Monday night. We went to an event downtown Indy. We wore our fancy shoes….Like. A. Boss.
4. I posted this pic on my Instagram feed this week. This is a shot of the prayer calendar I use daily for the kids. Each day there is something to pray for. I also use one for Brian. I LOVE using these calendars. It keeps me accountable and it is simple enough that I remember it throughout the day. Several people ask where I got them so I thought I would share. It’s a FREE download from my friend Kat’s blog. This is just ONE of the many great resources she has.
Praying Daily For Your Husband
5. And last but not least, I mentioned on Monday I would be hosting my first ever giveaway next week on February 4. I am excited to be able to give TWO readers this book: Praying God’s Word for Your Husband. I had the opportunity to hear the author speak in October at Allume. She was so funny and I loved hearing from her heart how God has led her to pray diligently for her husband. I was challenged by what she said. I am excited to share more about the book with you on Monday and open up the give away! So get ready and don’t forget to come back!
See you all Monday!
Yay! I LOVE that fabric idea on your mantle, too cute! And you ROCKED those heels like nobody’s biz. Excited about the upcoming giveaway, what a great book!
