a blur

Boy oh boy has this been one crazy, yet amazing, month.  I have been very absent from the online world.  It has been a good break for sure because I have been living life.

Here is a little snap shot into the past month here.

*  We voted

*  we celebrate my AMAZING mom's birthday

* We saw PAUL MCCARTNEY!!  Omg, that probably deserves it's own belated post because it was just amazing.  I loved it.  It was an awesome surprise birthday present for Adam :)  

*  Adam celebrated his 32nd birthday :)

*  He was also in and out of the ER three times this month with crazy symptoms and even the ICU (which was scary) but praise God, he is home and feeling so much better.

*  Amelia had a Christmas Photoshoot with Fresh Art Photography (favorite)!

*  We went to my friend Marie's wedding where I got to see all of my besties :)

*  Adam's sister came for a visit!!!

*  We decorated the house for Christmas :)

*  and most importantly, Miss Amelia FINALLY became a MacLean (legally).  Amelia was officially adopted on National Adoption Day this month!!  November 17 was the BEST day ever  (Again, I will write a whole post on this soon)

(look how happy she is here with us and the judge)

*We also had a HUGE party for Amelia's "Gotcha Day!"  We had a photo booth, and a cupcake truck and it was a perfect way to celebrate Amelia.

What a blessed month.  We definitely had some ups and downs but the Ups outweigh the downs by thousands :)

Hopefully, I can get back into the swing of blogging in the next few days.  I was planning to just close this little blog indefinitely but I received a couple of really encouraging emails and I am excited to be back.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck around through my little hiatus :)

I love you all!

another survey :)

So, you all really came through for me with help on the rugs!

I'm set on which one I am going to get now :)

Next thing that I need help with is a large print for the blank space on this wall:

(to the left of the curtain)

It's pretty much the only free wall space that we have and I don't want it to be too busy so I thought one Large print would be perfect.

Unfortunately, there is so much cuteness to choose from!

Anyway, here are a few that I have favorited so far.

Which print do you think would look best in that space?

please help!

1.  I like the idea of having an alphabet chart in a nursery and this one has a sweet vintage feel to it.

**

2.  I am a HUGE Banksy fan so this one would be perfect! Plus, you can customize it to be printed in any color that you want. (Mine will not be red :D)

(but in a coordinating color)

**

3.  I love foxes.  We have some that run around our subdivision.  Plus the color scheme is lovely and perfect for the nursery.

**

4.  Sherlock Holmes retired to be a bee keeper so this one has a special place in my heart.  Plus, I like honey, and I used to buy jewelry with bees on it because my students would call me Miss B. (before I was married).

**

5.  I just love this, the color, the artist, it's all so lovely.

**

6.  Again, Ashley G. is just amazing and her color schemes seem to really go with what I have.  My only concern is that her prints don't come really big?

**

7.  Another Ashley G :)

**

8. and another Ashely G :)  Plus it's kind of like our little girl and Catalina right?

**

Ok, any suggestions and votes and comments would be GREATLY appreciated.  It's crazy how much finding a perfect piece of art can stress a girl out!

Also, if you have any other suggestions of artwork, I would LOVE to hear/see them too!

thank you!
