Hi girlies...well today marks my 2 year blogging anniversary...YAY!! I can't even believe it's been that long. That's like forever in the blog world. I have to admit I'm a little proud. It's been so much fun sharing my life...creating fun things...getting to know all of you. What in the world did I do before??
I set out on this adventure with just a couple of goals. I wanted to find a distraction from the long winters in Minnesota and eventually sell my artwork. God has helped me achieve both of these things. Thanks to this blog my winter depression is so much better. I think looking for the positive and sharing it has changed my focus. I'm so grateful!
Anyway to celebrate big I will pick one reader to receive a custom home painting. I love doing these. It's an extremely personal thing...your home. This is unconventional, but to enter the **home painting give-away** I need ideas for cuff sayings. So leave me a comment with what you would want your cuff to say. Got it...it's a giveaway for a house painting, but I need a comment about my cuffs. Sorry it's so confusing. Rest assured, I will give one of them away too. You've just got to wait for it. Oh and if you're the winner and live in an apartment or don't want a home painting...we'll work something else out;) I'll announce the winner on December 29th. Good luck!
So I'm in the process of gathering all my supplies, but before I make too many I really want some ideas for sayings. They're kind of expensive to make, so it's just easier to ask you now:) So bring me ideas ladies...lots and lots of ideas.
And finally a big shout out to my momma today. It's her birthday:) When I was home recently I found this picture of her when she was my age. How weird is that? Isn't she beautiful!! You know how you have a memory of what your parents looked like when you were little?? This is how I remember my mom...young, beautiful, tan...my whole world. She still is. I love you mom. Hope you have a very special day. Feel my hug:)
Have a blessed day.
Oh my....so nervous that you're going to change your mind... I can't type fast enough. I would SO love one of your paintings! And, I'm dying for a cuff that has Galatians 2:20 on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mama!! I would love one of your paintings Becky ~ as for cuffs my fav saying is Live, Laugh, Love... Believe... Sing...
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary sweetie ~ Hugs to you! xo
Happy anniversary. How sweet of you. I would love one of your house paintings. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, your mother is such a beauty! Isn't it weird to see them at your age? Cuff sayings?
ReplyDelete1) Good Enough
2) Best Friend
3) His Plan
4) Blog Girl
5) Blessed
As for the custom home painting, that is so exciting. I'm renting my home but I know exactly what I would choose, it would be my great-grandmothers house in Indiana. My best memories took place there.
"Love never fails"
ReplyDeleteI'd love a picture of my house :) ... and I want to buy a cuff too :)
Hey Becky, Happy Blog Birthday - two years IS a real acomplishment!! YAY!
ReplyDeleteMy Cuff Ideas: (obviously not all original sayings of mine)
*My Heart Leaps
*Today Is a New Day
*Journey
*Strong and Beautiful
*Just Like Water
*Dream and See
A few ideas, hope you like 'em! Have a GREAT day! :D Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! :)
Oh, I would love to have a house painting of my little yellow cottage! I know you already have choose joy, but I also love 'Be Joyful'. Others I like are God is Faithful, Choose Peace, Smile Anyway, and from the song that you have playing here, Comfort and Joy!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours! Becky G. in GA
"Saved by Grace", "Forgiven", "loved" are some of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteLove your cuffs. Have a Blessed Christmas :-)
I have never commented on your blog but I love reading it and the chance at a house painting is what it takes to get me to! Cuff idea: "abide"
ReplyDeleteOK... I know I'm suppose to leave a comment related to the cuffs... but first, I have to say - this house painting is SOOOO awesome! Is it possible that you just keep making them better and better? I love the warm colors you used too! Congratulations on your 2 yr anniversary! I found your blog after reading about Brave Girls & am SO glad i did! I read each & every post & I love starting my morning with your honest, insightful, & inspirational words.
ReplyDeleteOK.... and for the cuff... I think this scripture, 'Philippians 4:8', would be neat. I think it would be a good reminder for me to wear. (Kind of reminds me of Proverbs 7:3). I like the shaped metal pieces too (like the bird above).
Oh! And happy birthday to your mom! What a great pic! :)
Happy Bloggy Anniversary!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere are some ideas for cuffs..
redeemed.
live intentionally.
I haven't had my coffee yet....surely, I can come up with more than that.... :)
I think "Beloved" would look great on a cuff. Its such a sweet, and endearing name. And then to think that we are beloved by God. yep. "Beloved" on a cuff would be an awesome daily reminder that you are loved. Fun give a way by the way!!
ReplyDeleteI love your house paintings. And I would like my cuff to say "Pretty Girl" or "Happy Girl" or "Strength" or "right" or "left". Can I think of more later? I would LOVE to win. I adore your blog.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!! I am sure you have just created a new word today too!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a cuff, it would definitely say "soul artist" or "expressionist" or "dream lover". Each of these hold a special meaning to me :)
Your mom is beautiful. You have her smile. Has anyone ever told you that? :)
I love your house paintings. And I would like my cuff to say "Pretty Girl" or "Happy Girl" or "Strength" or "right" or "left". Can I think of more later? I would LOVE to win. I adore your blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary!!! I loved that I found your blog and have been able to follow your artful journey! And Happy Birthday to your beautiful Mom!
ReplyDeleteFor the cuff saying, I am very much in to the concept of choosing one word for each year to define how you want to live and be. I have been choosing a word each year for several years. I think a fun piece of jewelry highlighting our word would be great! You could perhaps do them as custom orders? My word this year is CHANGE. words I have had in past years have been CHOICES, SHINE, CREATE, SIMPLIFY.
I also think a great phrase to use is one that is fairly common and simple but one of my favorites: LIVE LOVE LAUGH
xo
I love the cuffs! And that photo of your momma is lovely. It also gave me the idea for a cuff:
ReplyDelete"momma's girl"
I was thinking it would make a great gift for a daughter. Plus, I love the juxtaposition of the leather and the sweet words.
And I should just mention...my home would look great encapsulated in one of your fab paintings! (hint hint...:)
Blessings,
Alison
What a fun giveaway! Happy 2nd Bloggy Birthday too!
ReplyDeleteHere are some cuff ideas:
Proud Mama (Mommy)
Capture Life
Embrace Life
Run like the wind
Giggles and Grins
Laugh often
Love much
i love "happy girl" above!!! how about...
ReplyDeletebe the one
love much
my heart is full
thanks for the chance to win an awesome painting!!
merry christmas!
Congratulations on the blog anniversary :) I too struggle in the winter months so I try to keep myself very occupied! :) So if I bought a cuff I would want mine to say Jesus Lover!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! How about "Live it Up" or "You're Beautiful" or "You So Rock!"
ReplyDeleteI like Phil 4:8 too, especially in the dreary winter it is so important to think on what is true- not made up in our mind.
ReplyDeleteI also like
taken
one life to live
saved by grace
What an adorable house ;) You are so talented! This may be a bit wordy for a cuff, put I pray every night for Him to "Protect her. Love her. Keep her safe." I would totally buy that!!! Congratulations and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I always like the saying "Worship Always" or "Worship There" -- reminds me of the quote by C.H. Spurgeon: "My dear friend, when grief presses you to the dust, worship there."
ReplyDeleteA quote that has meant a lot to me this year.
I sooo wanna win this one! We're looking at selling our house this spring, and moving on an acreage (Lord willing) and I'd love a neat way to remember the house our babies were born in.
Your Mom is beautiful!
LOVE the custom house painting giveaway. How thoughtful of you! Hmmm, cuff ideas?
ReplyDelete- Live to Love
- Joy Filled
- Custom Made
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family!!!
Happy blogiversary!!! Such fun!!! I would be so excited to win one of your amazing house paintings...and my birthday is tomorrow! :) As for a cuff saying. How about "Beauty Full Life"?
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Girlie! First, the cuffs in the picture look great...are you having fun with them and getting all of the supplies???? I hope so!
ReplyDeleteBlessed, would be what I want on a cuff, because I have to remind myself a lot that I am blessed! Silly I know, but I don't do that enough and maybe if it was on my arm I would remember how blessed I really am.
Merry Christmas!
Girl - my 2 year anni. is just around the bend! I didn't realize we started around the same time.
ReplyDeleteCuff:
Beauty Full
Lay It Down
Pick me, pick me! I would LOVE one of your paintings!!!
ReplyDeleteHere are my ideas for your cuffs...
Simply Fabulous
Lovely
Just Breathe
Smile
You Are Loved
Happy Blog Anniversary and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Happy happy
ReplyDeleteanniversary!
Feels like we
have been friends
forever....HEY,
that could be
a cuff saying : )
Or Soul Sister...
I have a few friends
I would totally buy
that for.
Yesterday I saw
a painting I really
wanted with a pic
of a girl holding
a rabbit and the
words Let It Begin
With Me....Might
be too wordy, but
I loved it. If
I have any other
ideas, I'll send
them your way. I
will be one of your
best customers, I
think!!
xx Suzanne
PS: I would love to
WIN one of your gorgeous
paintings and I may have
lined up a few more
customers for you....
Happy Blog Anniversary!!!! I love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteSome Suggestions:
Seize the Day
Dare to Live
Life is Great
Yes, you can
Never give up
oooh becky, i NEED a house painting! for the cuff maybe.. 'he delights in me' [from zeph. 3:17] or 'rain brings flowers' or 'beloved'. those are all encouraging phrases i'd wear on my wrist!
ReplyDeleteI check your Etsy site every day to see if those cuffs are listed yet! I love them. I really like "Choose Joy" but I'd also like to see one that says "God is good." I think monogrammed ones would be neat, too, if you're in to taking custom orders.
ReplyDeleteOne of a Kind.....congrats on our 2 year anniversary.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Happy Birthday beautiful momma! It's my son's birthday too!
My cuff for my beautiful niece would be "Dude Magnet". For me it would be "Life worth living".
What a beautiful mom...Happy Birthday to her today! And, what a give a way..wow! I love your painting and want you to paint my house! As for the cuff's, love them! Mine would say "Songbird"...I sing, plus it's how my heart feels! Congratulations of 2 years..me too, guess I ought to do something about that! Merry Christmas :D
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty picture of your mama! Happy blog anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI love your house painting! Also the cuffs are so cute. What about Redeemed?
ReplyDeleteAbbie
Happy Birthday to your beautiful Mom! It's my mil's birthday today:) And a big Happy Anniversary to you & your blog!! Ideas for cuffs-- "Be Kind", "Love You More", "Dream Big"
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you & yours:)
Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI would love a cuff that says "Selah." I'm sure you know the meaning...to pause or reflect and is found in the book of Psalms. It also happens to be my daughter's name :) I would love, love, love to win a painting! Your work is gorgeous!
I also think "Not afraid" or "Born to do this" would be really cool too.
Have a great day :)
XOXO,
Angie from Ohio
WOW lots to celebrate today huh?
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, congrats on two years AND happy birthday to your mom!!!! Hope you BOTH have a fantastic week, and what an awesome giveaway! And how have I missed these cuffs?! Too darn cute! Love the one with the little bird!

ReplyDeleteCuff sayings: Kingdom Minded and Daughter of the King..Love your blog!
Hi Becky - I LOVE those cuffs! I'd totally wear one that said Be Brave, Trust Yourself, Be Thankful, Be Still and Know, Relax, You Are Loved, or for something totally different - Eat Dessert First. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day to your beautiful Mama! And Happy Blogiversary to you! Awesome! (that's a good word too!)
How about "Why am I Doing This?" or "For Your Glory"... I'm always needing to be reminded why I do everything I do... hopefully it's for God's glory!
ReplyDeleteAnd Congratulations!
Would love to win the house painting giveaway! Love those cuffs and what great ideas from everyone. I think the monogram would be cool but my other ideas:

Merry Christmas to all!!!
How sweet! I love those cuffs btw...and some sayings? hmmm...
ReplyDelete-custom made (someone else said that)
-breathe
-His
-New Mercies
I think all the sayings you put on your necklaces are sweet too...any of those would be good too.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful mom, Becky!
ReplyDeleteAnd you DO know how much I would LOVE to have one of your paintings of our new house, right?
Oh, yeah!
Well, since I'm all about my camera these days, I'd say do some photog ones...like Nikon Grrrl, or Canon Grrrl. I'd buy one of those! ;-)
Happy Blogiversary!
Hugs,
Anne
Oh what a WONDERFU giveaway! I would love our House done a la farmgirl!
ReplyDeleteAs for cuffs. I think my favorite reminder is:

ReplyDeleteRedeemed
My Guy's Girl
Live & Laugh
And your Mom is beautiful!!!
Congrats on 2 years! I think a cuff that says "Custom Made by God" would be cool. Or maybe "Amazing Grace" MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! -- Teresa (tmtysinger@triad.rr.com)
ReplyDeleteYour house paintings are wonderful. I've had four houses in my married life. It would be hard to pick a favorite if I won. I'm leaning towards the first house we owned. I would think "PeACe" would be popular for a cuff.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky-
ReplyDeleteOoohhh...I would love a house painting - we live in a house owned by my family for over 50 years!
I would also love a cuff that says...I AM BLESSED
Thanks for the chance to win!
Kim K.
CARPE DIEM - means "seize the day" in Latin of course. =) ~Rachel
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary Becky and Happy Birthday to your mom! I like the word "believe" for a cuff.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a Merry Christmas ♥
Happy Anniversary! How cool. I would LOVE a painting. We just moved to a new house in the spring.
ReplyDeleteI know this saying is a little long BUT I would love a cuff with
"It doesn't take skill. It takes will."
oh oh oh I hope you pick me! I would love you forever and ever. Plus, I think have a cute house that is red! I would adore your art on my wall!!
ReplyDeleteMy idea: My Heart On My Sleeve
Happy birthday to your Mama - she is a beauty :)

Oh Happy Birthday Becky's sweet Mama!!
ReplyDeleteWell, you KNOW I desperately want one of your house paintings, only I don't want it until I know what house we are going to be living IN!
Cuff sayings- I like fun things like "Laugh" and "eat chocolate." :) What can I say??? Oh, and the "BE." Or how about some initials? You are a rock star. (You could put "rock star.") LOL
A beautiful painting by you would be splendid Becky! Help cheer up this holiday season for me. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your sweet Momma!
I would definitely buy a cuff that said any of these,
"Breathe"
"Pray Hard"
"Look up"
"Remember to Smile"
"Miss you"
They seem a bit sad, but to me they are a great reminder.
Live, Laugh, Love
ReplyDeleteI'm Blessed

ReplyDeleteIsaiah 43:1. When in a difficult time, the Lord led me to this verse. I will never forget it. Not only does this verse hold powerful truth, but it reminds me that He spoke to me.
ReplyDeleteHello! Exciting give-away! Count me in. A few ideas-- "Play hard" "Momma of 3" "Belly laughs" or "Loves to Bake"
ReplyDelete? What do you think ? My daughter would want one that said "Princess in Waiting" :) She's seven. Not that she'd get one before her mama!
So, do I get a chance if I've recently won something from you? I don't know if you read what I read in my post regarding the Laugh keychain... but I tried to give you a really big shout-out. I hope my readers came by to take a look at your blog. Anyway. I would love a chance to win, again. IF that's okay. If not - I understand.

I pray that the next 2 years are nothing but amazing for you when it comes to your blog...(does that mean that after that, you're on your own? Ok, you know what I mean....haha!) - and I am so blessed by your posts and really hope that 2011 is the year I get to meet & hug YOU!

Love your blog, I haven't seen anyone use it yet, but my a.d.d kicked in and I couldn't get through all of your comments, I choose "VICTORY", and even if I don't win I would still like to buy one at some point.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. Two years is truly an accomplishment. It's really neat to see how God uses the seemingly insignificant things to touch lives. God bless you as you follow Him. Eph. 3:16-19.

Hi Becky, first of all the photo of your Mother is awesome. She was a very beautiful woman at your age and now I see where you get your beauty from. You look just like your Mother. I hope your Mom had a very Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteYour cuffs are wonderful. I had no idea that you made those too. You certainly are very talented. How about, "move it or lose it" I say that a lot. :) "Keep Smiling" my father used to say that a lot. What about Hippy Chick? I tried but I'm not very good at giving very good ideas. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with.

Stretch........ that's my word. It's what I say to myself when I need a reprimand or encouragement. Stretch beyond your normal response. Don't ball up in fetal position, handle this! Or, don't respond right now, listen, truly listen what this person is saying and feeling. Stretch beyond what is your norm, girl!
ReplyDeleteI like "Individual"! or "Unique"
ReplyDeleteYour momma is beautiful as are you! I love, love, LOVE her outfit! What a classic.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know that, right off the bat, I want a cuff that says "Find Joy." There are so many great ideas already stated, I am thinking of custom cuffs with dates or favorite scriptures.

ReplyDeleteThird, how bout just Redeemed on one of the cuff bracelets. I have a handstamped necklace that says, Redeemed, and I love it. It is a constant reminder to me, that I have been redeemed! Blessings to you! Jackie

p.s. I just added you to my bog list on my sidebar for two reasons:

Congrats Becky on your blogging anniversary. Your's was one of the first blogs I started following, I loved your blog header and when I discovered it was something that you had painted, I loved it even more. I live in my childhood home and would love to have a painting of your representation of it. As for the cuff, I personally would love to have one that says "firefly". The images of fireflies in old mason jars takes me back to my childhood, a time far less stressful and confusing than today. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday season.
ReplyDeletei love these cuffs!! will you be selling them??? please do!
ReplyDeleteI would love "live laugh love" :) I LOVE your paintings!!!
ReplyDeletemi3ragamuffins at aol dot com
Becky, you have such a generous heart. Your artwork is so lovely, I can't believe you are giving one away! Okay the cuffs....I adore them and can't wait for you to sell them. How about Shine Your Light? (That's not a very objective suggestion but I'm throwing it out there all the same!) Glad to see you had a very happy Christmas with your beautiful family! Sweet little girls!!
ReplyDeleteHappily ever after

Happy second blogiversary to you
Really love those paintings...such whimsy. For the cuffs.."Be the change" "Be kind" "Do great things" "Choose wisely" "Focus" "Just dance" "Phenomenal woman" "Look up" "Never quit" "Run the race" "Flower of creation" "Think you can" "Failure isn't fatal" "Reach far"
ReplyDeleteFirst time to visit your blog. I love the house portraits. Influenced by early American artists?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the cuff:
Kickin' a**
Takin' names.
Holiday time:
Come, they told me.
Too long? Then:
Persevere.

Good Morning! Happy Anniversary...what time well spent! I have a couple ideas for your cuffs...
ReplyDeleteEmbrace Life
Envelope Me
Cherish Completely
Simply Be
Fill with Goodness
or how about just the word: Very. I love the word very. Look it up as an adjective... one simply word is quite meaningful.
Also, a popular short quote that I love is, "Home is where your story begins..." Don't know if you could fit all that on one cuff...but I think it's a great quote. :)
Good Luck! Let me know what you think. They're going to be beautiful no matter what. ;)
love your blog, love the cuffs, and love the house paintings!! My fiance and I just bought our first home & we are so in love with it! I would LOVE a house painting & have an empty wall just waiting for it!!
ReplyDeleteSome cuff ideas..
"Imagine"
"but the greatest of these is love"
"be the change"
"Mrs"
"no love greater"
"live simply"
"believe"
"I can only imagine"
"surrounded by His glory"
I'm probably too late in posting this, but I think Ive got a great word for a cuff...
ReplyDelete"Gumption"
I dont know if youve ever seen the movie The Holiday, but its a word the character uses to describe a woman who has a special spark about her and who has alot to offer the world, even when she doesn't realize it. I thought it was a great word to inspire confidence... hey thats a good one too! "Inspire Confidence" looks like I'm on a roll :)
I live in an apartment in LA, but Im originally from Maui. I would certainly love a painting of my island home, and your work is gorgeous.
I love your blog and these cuffs!
ReplyDeleteLife in Grace
Pretty is as pretty does
So how do I go about buying a cuff? I love them.
