This fun book mural ($58!) added quirky interest to our once plain white water closet! I’m going to write on the spines using a sharpie! Any fun ideas on what they should say? 🖊

Kids are home from school. We’re just having a needed homebody day. We were running around all weekend and it feels good to be home with no agenda. Not even one project! 😆 Ok, I planned out what I would do the rest of the week, but not today! Do you prefer to be on the go or at home more?

This is me stenciling the shower. Yes I know, it is official, I have a stenciling problem. I can’t stop! I used the clematis stencil from @cuttingedgestencils and then went over it with an artist’s brush for a hand painted look. I used latex paint I already had (sage wisdom, courtyard green, Kendall charcoal and white) and then rolled polycrylic over it after it was dry. I’ll be the guinea pig — we’ll see if it holds up!

One day at Walmart I was so disturbed by a rude scene between customers that I began fervently praying as I walked down the aisles. “Lord, why have you shown this to me? What must I do? What can I do?” How can I, one person, change the selfish, angry darkness here? What I was about to learn is that I might not be able to bring light to my entire city or state or country, but I can bring the light of Christ right where I am. Right in that situation, right in that interaction, right in that split moment of time. After I finished praying, a thought popped into my head! I’m going to buy the prettiest, happiest bouquet they have here and give it to someone!
.
.
And that was the start of my mission to give $800 of flowers to strangers. And it’s changed me more than it has the people receiving the bouquets! In case you missed it, my latest blog post has all my random acts of kindness tips and what you can expect from strangers when you try it yourself! You’ll be surprised! 😳

Since the summer I have given away about 53 bouquets to complete strangers! That’s $500 worth of flowers. It has taught me invaluable lessons! It sounds beautiful, but it actually came out of something terrible. Click over to my blog to see what happened, how it changed me, and how you can do it yourself! It is seriously one of the best things that has ever happened to me. 💐
