Beneath My Heart

Let’s celebrate!!! Guest blogging and 100th post Giveaway!

DECOR· Uncategorized

11 Nov

Ladies, I am sooo excited!!!

The “shanty sisters” over at Shanty2Chic have asked me to be a guest blogger at their very FIRST “Shanty Spotlight”!

shantspot

I was really nervous about finding a project that I could blog about, but I came up with something, and I think it turned out great.

If you haven’t visited their blog before, you are missing out. They are super sweet girls and full of many wonderful ideas.

Now show me some love and go see my post over at Shanty2Chic.

Click HERE to see it!

************************

I am also celebrating because

this is my 100th post!

Can you believe it?

So of course, I want to thank all of you for following me and leaving me so many great comments. You guys make me smile!

I am going to have a giveaway to celebrate!

Many of you have asked me where I got this sign in my guest house….

IMG_2360

Well, I got it from Hobby Lobby, and I got one for you too!

It is a wooden plaque with the scripture, “Whatever is noble, right, pure, lovely, think on these things.” Phillipians 4:8

IMG_2366

If you would like to enter my giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post, and I will announce the winner on Monday, November 16th!

Have a blessed day,

    I have been reading your blog for awhile and love all of the ideas. I was sorry to hear about your mother. She sounded like a very special lady. I am sure this Christmas season will be bittersweet. I often pray for people who have lost loved one's and are approaching the holiday's. God bless.

I know you have a huge hole in your heart that can only be filled with her and it makes me very sad for you. I just want you to know that I'm praying for you.

    Hi Traci,

    I checked on that spelling of your name, because my Mom's name is Tracey :-) We are very close, so I think and pray for you often. I have been very touched by your posts. Please know that we pray for your family.
    Your blog is adorable. I enjoy mine so much; I'm excited for your success. You'll never know how many you will touch.
    LOVE the sign. It would look so precious in my daughter Sophie's room.
    I just am bummed that we don't have a hobby lobby :-)
    Blessings on you.

    Love your blog – I've been browsing all morning and as much as I love your projects, the posts that touch me the most are the ones about your mom. I lost my step-father this past August and so understand where you're at. I'm such a holiday fanatic but I tear up every time I think about sitting around that Thanksgiving table without him at the head of the table.
    Change of subject quickly – I noticed all of the Gamecock apparel in some of the pictures – we're in the Greenville/Spartanburg area of SC – are y'all close by?

    Thank you for sharing your talent, your faith, and your mother's faith with me (and the world). I want you to know that I shared with a coworker who will be having a surgery on Monday that her tears (that she was trying to hold in) were just "liquid prayers" and not a sign of weakness or fear. I was able to share this because I read it in one of your posts and because your mom had such wisdom. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you and for helping a fellow believer encourage others!

    I found your blog earlier this week with the coasters and printed it out to do some for christmas and then came over today from Shanty2chic. Anyway I read down about your Mother and I know this must be a really hard week for you and I am praying for you. I had never heard of Mama says figurenes but I think I am going to look for some for my sister, neice and I and give them to us from my mother ( as they sound like things she or my grandmother would have said). Anyway I am adding you to my list of favorites and if I ever get back to blogging will start following you.

    I love your blog, thank you for sharing your mother's faith with us-it has truly inspired me. I am studying the eternal perspective in John right now and your mom really brought it to real life for me.

    Now about the sign…I'm going to have to work on the greed issues in my life! We have no Hobby Lobby in CA! Darn.

    I found your blog last week and read it all. You Mom was 7 months older than I and I certainly could understand all the pain. Trust me, she hated desperately to leave her family but she is now at peace. I pray to God that you find peace of her passing soon. I lost my Daddy at 16. It gets better but you always remember. Love to you all.

    I stumbled across your blog last night. What caught my attention was the phrase, "…my first birthday without my mom." I remember mine, too. My mom passed away three and half years ago on Easter morning of cancer. I was five months pregnant with our third daughter (2nd pregnancy, we had twin girls first). Since then we have had a son…four, four and under! I saw this sign awhile back at Hobby Lobby and thought about getting it for one of my best friends & Elder's wife…she reminds me of this verse all the time. So encouraged by your posts!

    Your blog just came up in my reader recommendations. I lost my mom, too so my heart goes out to you. So glad you have family to support and grieve with you. Many blessings!
