I've always loved red velvet cupcakes. Not sure why it just hit me that maybe I should attempt making them. Well, I did and I'm so proud that I'm sharing with you. Sometimes I forget in all the rush of life what possibilities lay right out in front of me, especially this time of year. Things seem even more rushed with the hustle and bustle of holiday preparation. Baking, decorating, shopping, wrapping, singing, parties...yup, it's Christmas. Funny thing is, I love all of these things that make this time of year seem crazy—if only things could just slow down so I could enjoy them. And when Tay put one more magnet on her countdown to Christmas this morning and informed the world that there is just 5 more days to go, I sighed just a little. And then, as we pulled in the drive from church, I noticed the most beautiful frost on our porch decorations. It was so perfect that I grabbed my camera and stopped for a moment...I started taking pictures all around. Funny how through a camera, you can see so much more, ey? Anyway, I hope you can also stop for a moment and notice all of this wonder around us. May your holiday be blessed and full of zing.
Growing up, I always said "I want to be an artist when I grow up." Well, here I am now still wishing for the same. Child at heart, I'm giddy at the thought of dipping a new brush in a pot of paint, sniffing a fresh box of crayolas, cutting, pasting, letting the pencil flow with every beat of my heart.
This is just a glimpse of some of the things that make me zing. As I watch my daughter take note of every extraordinary detail in life, I am inspired to do the same. I hope this blog inspires you to find those things in life that make you zing...

Beautiful pictures, and inspiring words. I must try to slow down this week.
By the way you were beautiful at the Christmas party, so sorry I did not come talk more.
