My Decorating Style

A friend of mine had this on her blog and I couldn't resist tryin' it out!
Go to Sproost if you're curious to see what your design style is!
Sproost says my interior design style is:

40% French Eclectic

40% Classic

20% Nantucket Style

I think this is right on with the things that I like. I LOVE textures and all of these design styles offer lots of texture. I'm usually into neutral, warm and comforting colors but I'm open to brighter yet relaxing colors too.
I often find myself doubting my ability to have a home decorated in these styles because I automatically think...too expensive, but thanks to my friends that LOVE to go thrift shopping and garage saling...I don't think it's impossible!
Maybe the first place I'll start is my bedroom...since I am renting in a friends home...don't think she would want me taking over the whole house with my designs! LOL

Here are some pictures of the different design styles....LOVE THEM ALL!!!!

Running- Klaus Featuring Kari Jobe

I hear the voice
It’s the voice of the One I love
He’s callin my name
I hear the voice
The voice of the One I love,
Hes callin my name
Hes sayin…
Come up higher
I hear the angels sing
Come up higher, my beloved
Come up higher and leave this world behind
I find you to be beautiful
I am running, running after You
Youve become my soul’s delight
I am running, running after You
Here with You I find my life.

It's been a long time.... but after hearing this song, I had to post and let everyone in on something that really ministered to my heart last night.
I heard this song during a prayer time at a friends church. It reminds me so much of God's relentless pursuit of our hearts. It's absolutely beautiful....enjoy, I hope it ministers to your heart as much as it did mine!

A New Hobby & Passion Ignited

I LOVE photography and it's a hobby that I'm trying to refine every day. I'm also fascinated by the art of Editing and decided to try my hand at it. I started with the program that's on my computer (Microsoft Office Photo Manager), you know, since Photoshop is for PROS and costs an arm and a leg! After editing a few, I posted some on my Facebook. Some friends informed me of some free on-line editing so I'm trying those out as well.

If you like Photoshop, GIMP is a free download that is VERY similar to it.

Then there's Picnik, VERY user friendly and with one click of a button, your photo is changed...you can also combine different effects to get the picture just like you want it! Below are some of my creations...I don't have any from GIMP yet because I need to watch the tutorial first :-)

These were edited with Picnik
