When your cuff game is strong! @jbriannejahn taking it to another level😍
..
Fun fact: Jennifer is wearing a Stamped Lily original 😱. When I still stamped a lily on the inside of my cuffs. Anyone remember that?? She’s one of my biggest supporters and encouragers. And don’t mess with her on heirloom collection release day 😂

Merry Christmas! Throwing it back to when we were all together and none of the kids were sick 😂
..
This Christmas has been one for the books! Urgent care visit yesterday and two of the three kids are fighting coughs and fevers.😩 But we’re good! Sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and opened a few last presents before Joe went to work.🚒
..
I hope your Christmas has been full of love and joy and fever free!🤪

I haven’t written about John yet this season. And I’ve somehow put some sort of pressure on myself to say something. To offer some sort of explanation of grief that might help you in yours.
..
I’ve learned though, that putting expectations on myself just gets me into trouble. Especially when it comes to the loss of my brother. Expectations to feel a certain way on certain days puts my grief in a box that it shouldn’t be in. Grief isn’t that way. Healing doesn’t happen that way either.
..
I don’t know your story. I don’t know if this is your first or fifteenth Christmas without someone you love and miss dearly. But girl, let go of your expectations. Let go of the “should’s and shouldn’ts” that you’ve created for this season. For these next few days in particular.
..
Sister, give yourself grace.
Give others grace.
May you feel the joy and honor the ache all at the same time. It’s completely allowed.

THIS! This is the design my sweet friend Sarah @smmurphey envisioned. I brought the sketch to Joe 2 weeks before the event and asked him to build it. While our details were vague and not completely to scale, he still took them and created this! Measurements shmeasurements🤦🏼‍♀️
..
I’m still looking at these pictures and smiling because it ended up so beautiful!
..
I’m hoping to create a blog post about the event to show you all the beautiful details. Is that something you’d want to see??

The most beautiful part about up-cycling leather belts are Memory Cuffs. Hands down the coolest thing I get to do.
.
A wife, a daughter, and two granddaughters will be wearing these bracelets to honor a man they all loved 💗 Doesn’t get much sweeter than that.

Sweet mommy and me cuffs.😍
.
Anyone else remember when I added scrappy lace ties to cuffs? Maybe this style needs to make a comeback?! 🧐

What Stamped Lily Christmas dreams are made of 💗
.
Ugh I wish I had words but I don’t! I just loved this space we created for the TSL Holiday event this year. It was warm and inviting and just stinking beautiful.
.
“Come for the jewelry. Stay for the conversation.” Came to life and my heart is seriously so full I almost can’t take it.💗

Where are you looking for joy in the journey? Do you struggle to do that?
.
It’s easy to find the hardship but it takes effort to look for the joy. Let’s look for the joy today.💗
