holy is the Lord, God almighty

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. ~Proverbs 22:6

its been a month since we had Ward's baptism at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church...what a wonderful and momentous occasion! Rev. Karla Daniel, a special minister to us at PRUMC did the honor of baptizing Ward. He was adorned in a baptismal gown hand made by Ruby V here in Atlanta. She deconstructed my mother's 37 year old wedding gown and remade it into such a special baptismal gown for my children! We had a number of other special things monogrammed to commemorate the occasion and remember it always.

two of my besties made it in for the occasion driving all the way from South Carolina for an 8:45am church service! 

we had our family & his godparents over to celebrate on Saturday night before hand. Kathi of My Sweet Things did a fabulous cake as she does for all of our special occasions! what a fun weekend was had by all!

new favorite journal

oh how wonderful are these new favorites of mine! my graphic image spiral notebooks that I typically love for my Bible study notes/prayer requests/other inspirational notes have been hard to find. I read more and more about the moleskine cahier notebooks and decided to try them out from Paper-Source. 

in typical "if you give a mouse a cookie" fashion, I immediately realized that they needed to be personalized...so I asked my sister for some help with that. she made me two cute stickers that I could slap right on the front of my moleskine notebooks and make them my own {she also sells these super inexpensive on Etsy}. 

after I realized how cute these notebooks looked, I decided I wanted a leather cover for them to be snuggled up in. I took to Etsy & Google in search of a cover. I stumbled somehow across this company, Old Church Works and fell in love! Mike from OCW was super helpful in determining what I needed for my notebooks to be at home. I chose the double moleskine notebook as opposed the the quad. I tell you what, I have never seen such a beautiful leather notebook in my life! I cannot wait to put this to good use!
