    hello friends! i know you are all busy at this time of year...but if you have a moment...please stop and listen to my music choice for you today...the title of the song is as beautiful as the message.

    "Breath of Heaven"
    by Amy Grant

    i think you will like it,

    I must have seen the same pic on Pinterest as I went digging around and came up with some of my husbands old toy trucks from when he was a child. Created my own vignette too! Love your photos!
    ...and your music.
    Thank you! Merry Christmas! :)

    I love them! Hmmm, I swear I have some old hot wheels of my husband's. Maybe there's a truck. That's a fun way to include your husband in all your prettiness, shopping for toy trucks. Thanks for the Amy Grant song. It's perfect! Hugs to you! Have a wonderful Christmas.

    Hi Erin,

    I have loved and enjoyed your blog for sometime. Only today did I notice that you live in Franklin. 14 years ago I had a car accident in your beautiful little town. It was the only time I was there, but I will never forget it. :) It is a small world.

    Have a wonderful Christmas! Thanks for all the beauty and inspiration.

    Blessings,
    Shelley

    Olive sent me over to check out your trees in trucks. Very cute. I posted a photo of one of my trucks today with bottle brush trees in the back, but no snow! Now I want snow.
