preparing for hibernation

Anyone else preparing for hibernation? 
I feel this way every year. The fall is all about harvest and new and it gets me excited, but in late November and December, I want to curl up with a blanket and make some soup and sit quietly by the twinkle lights. 

This year, I'm trying not to fight the call to pull in, instead I'm just preparing for hibernation. About one more week of emails, meetings, and early mornings and late nights and then I'm planning on going into full on Christmas-hibernation-mode. Full of lots of rest and unplugging. 

How about you? Are you feeling the call to unplug? 
How to you totally dive into the holidays? 
Speaking of hibernation, we're shouting it from the rooftops 
MONDAY 12/16 AT 5PM EST is the last time you can order prints in time for Christmas delivery. Truly, truly, truly -- don't wait till Tuesday morning! 

Twelve Days of Christmas update! Yesterday's winner of the Anthropologie gift card is Julie W & today's deal is a free 16x20 canvas of any of our prints! Spend over $30 in our shop and you'll be entered to win! Hop on over & finish your Christmas shopping before, friends!

fill me up, pour me out.

When I think about my friends or loved ones, I find that I never imagine them in the mundane parts of their day. I think of them in the thick of the good stuff, doing the things that they do best, really capitalizing on their strengths. But it's funny, because so much of our lives is the day in and day out routine and pattern of living. Dress the kids for school, do the dishes, drive to work, make the bed, fix the rug for the six hundredth time today. I know there is such a campaign in our current culture to find the beauty in the ordinary, but I'll confess it's hard for me. It's not because I don't love the ordinary or love rhythms, I do SO much. Making coffee, twice, maybe three times a day, is one of my favorite rhythms. We have a new percolator and I love the whole process of laying out a tea towel, taking it apart, cleaning it piece by piece, refilling it, then listening from the other room as it brews. 

I love the mundane even when I don't see some sort of glittery beauty just beneath the surface, but I am practicing something new in asking the Lord to help redeem the time of the mundane. I'm a physical and visual person so I've started just breathing little breath prayers that pertain to each action I'm doing. Fill up the coffee pot - Lord fill me your Spirit and help me to look to You alone. Put the laundry in the wash - Father, Wash me with Your Word and give me a pure heart. Put the chicken in the oven, Lord, how can we help the hungry? The physically hungry and those hungry for you? Driving the same route I take every day - Shake me, up Lord! Don't let me just go the direction that is natural and in my flesh. Direct my steps!

I think God loves the ordinary and the mundane because it's what our world of made of, but I think He wants to redeem all the minutes and hours we have too. So this is my start. And now it's time to make the coffee. Fill us up, Lord and pour us out for Your glory. 

It's day two of our #12daysofNTD promotion! Each week day from now through December 18th, we'll give away one prize to a customer who spends over $30 in our shop. Today is a $20.00 Starbucks card (woohoo!) and yesterday's winner of 15 prints was Jennifer C!

Last night we wrapped up our final sale of the year for the print shop but we have so much more fun stuff up our sleeves that we can't wait to share! 

Are you guys ready? 

Hold on to your hats! 

Not only did we recently update our paper & printing quality, but we also added ten new prints just for this holiday season! We really hope you find something for everyone on your list! 

We've tried to make check out as simple as possible and under each and every print, you can pick the size you're desiring. Our updated 8x10's (no more 8.5x11 paper) - yes! 11x14 on paper, yes! But now there are some special new options as well. You can get a 16x20 printed on canvas or 24x30 printed on canvas!
