January to February

Last day of January already? Where has the month gone?  The 2012 train is rolling and there isn't any stopping it.


I devoted a good portion of January into transporting and learning how to use my new sewing machine. I love it and can't really go a day without sewing something. Brandon has been on a couple work trips and hunting quite a bit. Today is the last day of the season so my hubby will be home again! Our fun date this month was to the Blake Shelton concert in Columbus, GA. Amazing!! I'll get to a full recap with photos soon. January has been good to us.


There is SO much to look forward to in February. My main goal is to have new items in my storenvy shop. I've been thinking about whether I should do this or not. Then if I could.  I have no reason not to. Brandon starts work again and so will I. I'm still working on the details and the products I want to offer and then the business-y side of things. It's fun for me and I'm taking it slow this time so that this is something that can last and grow! I hate to admit it but this hasn't been the case in the past. I tend to rush into things before thinking and planning for them. Then there is finding balance between the blog and shop and my focus may be more on the shop this month than the blog. I'll do my best to share this journey with you.


Here is a tiny preview of something I've been working on. If you follow me on  Instagram @larnlevydickson then you will probably get frequent sneak peeks.








Don't forget - giveaway ends tonight at 10 p.m. Excited to see who the lucky winner is.

  3. Hi Lauren, I am your valentne swap partner. It said to have your gift in the mail today so i am trying but it may be tomorrow. It is super crazy around here with 2 of my kids having big events this weekend. I am running around like crazy but I promise it will get there.
    Anyway, I love your blog and if you have a shop, let me know. It would be great to have you as a giveaway sponsor sometime on my blog.
    Of course, there is also advertising options. The blog gets 5,000 views a day, average.

    Have a good week and nice to meet you!!
