I’ve known Sarah Elizabeth for somewhere around a year and a half, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know her. She’s one of the sweetest ladies you’ll meet, and one of the most fun, too. So I was very honored when she asked me to design her blog; Oh, Restless Bird. Sarah has a really neat style and look that she was going for – she wanted something very open and free, something that would express the restlessness she feels for God. She told me that she loves watercolors and drawings, so we decided to head down that path of…

You’re Perfect. Just The Way You Are.
Sometimes it feels like you can’t win for losing. That everything you do fails miserably, that your successes are never known, never praised.

The Fourth
We spent the fourth very simply – we attended a naturalization ceremony, had a picnic lunch, and hung out at Starbucks. (Who can resist a free cup of coffee, anyway?) It was peaceful and restful day.

I truly can’t wait to share these different projects when they’re done!
