{Decorate your home with art from Red Letter Words // a giveaway}

September 28, 2012 ·
Filed Under: giveaway, shop feature

This giveaway is now closed! Our winner is #30, Leigh of Funky Faith Girl :)

Red Letter Words is our XL sponsor this month and we’re so happy to have them! Dee is the designer + enthusiast behind the canvas art shop {including prints, candles, gift sets, even fabric {stop it right there!}} With our recent, life-changing move to California — that I can’t stop talking about — I’m a total believer in filling your home with things that encourage + inspire you. And getting rid of the rest ;)

Life is HARD! Life is BUSY! Life is meant for pursuing your PASSIONS, and Red Letter Words does a beautiful job at allowing you to feel at peace with these things by offering art/gifts that reflect such things.

If you could have one piece of Red Letter Words art in your home to help encourage you, which piece would you pick? At the end of this post I’ll share why you need to know that :)

As Zack + I unpack our most-prized possessions, I think about this question. And I find myself leaning towards this RLW print:

Yup. Purpose.

That’s what’s important — we all have purpose.

But do we all believe it?

I poked around the RLW site and want to share some of my favorite collections with you —

^ Fill your home with encouragement {scripture collection}

^ Two of my favorite prints, anchor to the soul + a word fitly spoken

^ Simple, sweet reminders of how Christ wants us to be as women in the Word {just for girls collection}

^ Red Letter Words even put together collections of their work {sets collection}

MEET THE DESIGNER// Hi, I’m Dee — a Heart Artist. I make art. Designed like an erased chalkboard, the look is casual, modern, vintage and timeless. The message is bold and straight from God’s heart to yours.

I started making art for my own house in 2006, then gave it away to friends and family. It was a huge step of faith to open an Etsy store in 2008. I was much more comfortable giving my prints away and not having my whole heart out there. I know that was my moment of “stepping out of the boat” — Once I took that step, God was able to take it from there. Ephesians 3:20 is a great scripture to describe RedLetterWords . . . He is able to do exceedingly abundantly all that we ask or even think according to the power that works in us.

Wow ~ accomplishments I am most proud of? My husband and I just celebrated 19 years of marriage! We have 4 kids ages 15, 12, 9 and 7. I think they’re pretty sweet. We started to homeschool last year and are seeing a 14-year-old dream come true as we travel around and explore God’s world together. As far as business accomplishments go . . . its pretty cool to have scripture art on the front page of Etsy and to see your work in retail stores. But the best thing is the encouraging emails from strangers who just write to say thanks or keep it up and share part of their story and how God has worked in their lives.

If you are thinking about opening a shop. . . pray about it. If you feel that nudging . . . do it already. There will never be a “perfect” time. That desire is there for a reason. It’s scary but take a small step in that direction. Then take another one and another one. See what happens.

    I love the prints. Most of all I love the quote, “If you are thinking about opening a shop. . . pray about it. If you feel that nudging . . . do it already. There will never be a “perfect” time. That desire is there for a reason. It’s scary but take a small step in that direction. Then take another one and another one. See what happens.” I am going to write a blog post inspired by this quote today. Thanks!

JOY in motherhood & homemaking 🧺🌿💓✨

Reflecting on this today 💓🕊 When I reflect o Reflecting on this today 💓🕊 When I reflect on the moments I’ve felt my mind spinning, my emotions swirly, it’s almost always when I’m not feasting on the word of God. Not that reading scripture is the cure for anxiety —no! Rather, it’s hard to worry when we’re worshipping.

A quiet night: the furnace is running, the tea is A quiet night: the furnace is running, the tea is hot, and the whisper of a page turning. ♨️☕️📖 // We are breaking from school this week, my plan is to read a lot, walk a lot, and rest a lot. How about you?

#mothersofinstagram #tea #winterreading #hygge
I fought every internal comment I could think of a I fought every internal comment I could think of and took my kiddos for a looooong walk today before dinner. ❄️✨ There’s just so much work required to raise children! I’m feeling like a tired lady. But sunshine & fresh air are good companions to keep around. 

We came home and I made “the best dinner ever”. Max specifically announced, “it’s so great you’re launching new meals to the world”. LOL— kids! 🤣👏🏻💓
How about a little Wednesday night introduction? 😘Social media sure has changed over the years and we don’t always SEE who we’re following or remember WHY we’re following certain accounts. 

So, hello! As you can gather, my name is Maggie ;) 

I started writing online (almost 13 years ago) to share the handmade products I was sewing. My shop was called Gussy Sews. ✂️👛I love the community that has grown from sewing & sharing online.

Let’s FFW to today: Zack and I live in Michigan and have four young children (2 boys & 2 girls). I slowly left the handmade industry and walked right into homemaking, homeschooling, and encouraging women through writing. 💕📝

Motherhood has been very hard on me. (And not just because of how close in age our four children are.) It’s been hard for me because I fought for years to accept that *it’s supposed to be hard*. 

I mean, how do you effectively teach another person to know and love the Lord? Bc that’s how I think of motherhood: a calling to nurture others by studying the One who nurtures me. So I gotta make the first move: study the Bible and seek Him first. As my friend Autumn reminded me, vulnerability births transformation. 

(I’ve had to be really vulnerable!)

So, yes motherhood has fully transformed me. But even more so, Christ has fully transformed me. My list of “all that He’s done for me” is off to a beautifully long start.

Something else I want you to know about me: I stalled for years before acknowledging I have anxiety and depression. It’s hard to talk about this because of course this isn’t forever “my hardship”, but rather because acknowledging this means to heal I have to work through some really difficult things. ✨

But my friend Jesus walks alongside me. He’s already done a mighty work in my heart, including helping me process my anger in healthier ways. I’ve also adopted a heart for sisterhood, mothering, and Titus 2 mentorship.

Sometimes our greatest losses are our greatest gains? That’s what I’m clinging to!

How about you? Tell me something about yourself so I can get to know you on a deeper heart level. 🖤🖤
How do you play in the winter? // We had a really How do you play in the winter? // We had a really great time visiting family in northern Michigan. On my blog I share a few ways we played outside, plus I describe a memorable childhood game ❄️☃️. Did you play it as a kiddo?
We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens in the morning (HGTV), playtime before lessons, and not enough quiet time after lunch. This made for a really, ummm, unenjoyable learning experience. 

But today! Today we reset the rhythm, and we have had a much happier home & time learning together. 👏🏻
Visit my stories for a quick message from ME — t Visit my stories for a quick message from ME — think outside the box in terms of how you view the definition of “motherhood” 💓😘 (also: look at my little friend, she’s sooooo snuggly)
It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hop It’s another cold, winter day. ❄️Today I hope to bundle up for another family nature walk, knowing the fresh air sweeps out any & all frustration, inviting inspiration inside. ✨That’s something we all need more of.
