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.💗

Did you see? Because I want to get as many of the show pieces out and available for you to grab before Christmas I’m trying a new way for a restock!
.
All the available pieces in the restock will be listed over @shopthestampedlily. The instructions will go up as soon as all the pieces are listed. There’s more coming💗
.
I really hope this works! And helps me get as many pieces as I can listed so you have more to choose from!
.
Also a friendly reminder that my SHOP CLOSES DECEMBER 13th for the holidays and won’t reopen until 2020!
.
Okay Happy Happy Tuesday!

I FINALLY put up the tree yesterday with the kiddos and we had so much fun. Listening to Christmas music and talking about all the ornaments. It’s like they’re surprised every year because they forgot what ornaments we had ❤️
.
This year we got to add these beautiful ornaments from @laurensdlcreations. This surprise happy mail came last week and I love them! Lauren didn’t know that “O come let us adore him” is actually one of my favorite Christmas songs! 😱 So that ornament was perfect. Thanks Lauren!❤️
.
Do you have a favorite Christmas ornament?

Two weeks before the event I came to him with a drawing for a new way to display my leather and asked him to build it. He did.
.
The day before the event when I was running out of time he changed his plans and volunteered to pick up furniture for me.
.
The night before the event when the trailer I rented broke and was unusable he spent over 30 minutes trying to fix it and when he couldn’t fix it, he helped me unload it.
.
The morning of the event he hauled my stuff to the space and then dealt with the unpleasant task of returning the broken trailer and getting a refund.
.
The afternoon of the event he brought the kids to see me so they could see what we had been working so hard on. Then stayed to help load it all back up.
.
Last night after the event when he prayed with the kids he thanked God for MY perseverance in pulling everything together to have an amazing event.
.
We’re a team. No matter how hard I try not to “inconvenience” him, I was reminded this week that The Stamped Lily doesn’t happen without him. While he was thanking God for MY perseverance, I was thanking God for him.

Feeling the love this week as I’m creating for you! My hands are sore but my heart is full. The week before a big event has me all kinds sentimental but I love this job. I love that you let me in to your lives with this jewelry. Thank you 💗
