if you're not already acquainted with shauna and stephen, i'd definitely recommend you check them out.
be warned tho... they will make you sick. not only are they uber in love and spend every single minute together as best friends, business partners, and boyfriend/girlfriend BUT they are incredibly talented to boot. and when i say incredibly talented, i mean it. they are perfectionists in pretty much any craft you'd want to learn, letterpress, woodwork, sewing...
oh, and they also have a dreamy apartment, that doubles as a workshop, that they are constantly renovating and recreating for themselves.
oh, and to boot, they are super dooper in love and love to find creative ways to express their love to each other.
with valentime's day coming up, i thought i'd share one of their sickening ideas with you. so simple, yet so brilliant.
even tho these hearts were CUT.OUT.BY.HAND... i just bought myself a mini- heart shaped cookie cutter and will be pressing little hearts of love out of anything and everything that i can come next tuesday, to show my boys just how much they mean to me.
ahhhh, 2012... a new year filled with fresh beginnings, revived purpose, and resolution upon resolution being made. i love that the new year symbolizes wiping the slate clean and preparing yourself to put your best foot forward.
they say that we've lived our whole life to prepare for this moment. each moment. each brand new day. but often times, kind of like new year's resolutions, we end up taking it for granted and wasting it away by getting consumed in the pettiness that lurks around every corner.
we all know better and sometimes it just takes something or someone to whack you over the head and get you back on path... well over new year's, i got whacked over the head. so much so that i want to share it with you too.
my parents, husband, and i sat down one night to watch a movie and came across this documentary, I AM. we watched the preview and decided to watch the whole thing. from minute one until the closing credits, i was sucked in (and this is HUGE, because anyone who knows me knows that i tend to fall asleep in pretty much any movie i watch at home).
I AM is inspiring, it's smart, it's enlightening, and downright amazing. yet, it's so simple.
everything in this world is made of the same stuff and we're all connected. we have more power to help and to change than we think we do. so be kind. be a community. cooperate. love. it's all we need to make a difference.
so, as you sit down to write your new year's resolutions. i encourage you to watch this movie and embrace it's message. I AM ready, are you?
