Thanks for visiting Ladybug Blessings, I am so glad you are here!! You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Feel free to shoot me an email @ kristen[at]ladybug-blessings[dot]com with any questions or comments. I hadn’t until about a few weeks ago. It is a Daily Deals website of sorts but has multiple shops you can shop from and you can see the upcoming shops as well.
If you want to sign up I would love if you would click my referring link HERE.
Anyway, it took a little while for my shirts to come (I ordered them on the 4th and got them yesterday) but I am still very happy with my order. I received two Sophie Max shirts (super soft and comfy) for less than $35 including shipping! They have women’s, kids, house and more. Tomorrow it says they have Steve Madden and Travel Accessories and last week they had Dog is Good. They have fitness gear a lot too and I need to take them up on it!
Anyway, you definitely need to check it out!
Note: This is not a sponsored or paid post. My shirts came yesterday and I was very excited

So what do you give your best friend to remind her of Nashville (and how much you want her to move back??)… a Nashville necklace.
I printed the map on my color printer and then laying the tile over the map to pick out which area I wanted to include. I made sure to include Nashville and all the surrounding towns. I then traced the tile, cut out the map and then glued it onto a glass tile with the special clear tile glue. I love how it turned out and actually had to give it to Bri before I actually took pictures of it
Thankfully, Brianne is the best and took pictures for me with her fabulous iphone
(Depending upon the day or week you can catch me linking up to the link parties here)

Welcome to another Handmade Tuesdays. I have to apologize for my lack of presence in the bloggy world. My BFF came into town this weekend and I never finished posting Handmade Features as I was prepping for her visit! I am so sorry! We had a fabulous time and I will post some pictures this week

Welcome to the first HANDMADE TUESDAYS of 2012! I hope you all had a FABULOUS new year and let me see what you have been working on!
January 2nd, 2012
I feel like by calling them goals instead of resolutions they are more attainable. It is almost as if we call something a resolution we are adding another hurdle while calling them goals takes one away. Who knows, maybe that is just my thinking…
Anyway, my 2012 goals are…
- Run 365 miles. By giving this goal an actual value I am ensuring more of a success than if I had just said, run more.
- Pay off my credit card and make a dent in my student loan payments.
- Blog more. Now, I know I am not giving this one a numerical value like I did with running but I feel like since starting the job I have not been blogging as much and I want to change that. I need to find a system and stick with it.
- Find a good balance. As I mentioned above, going from lots of part time jobs to a full time job plays with how you handle your life and how you find a balance for it. I am still working on this one.
- Do at least one creative thing each week. It is amazing how when I find the time to make things I can relax more.
- Live with more intention, or purpose. I don’t like to just drift through things, day by day. How boring is that?
- Spend time with God each and every day. Real meaningful time, not just quickly reading a devotional or quick prayer time.
- Read one book a month. Reading is so important and how often I toss it aside because something else calls my attention.
Now I realize some of these are not numerical at all and cannot really be tracked but by writing them down I am stating that they are things I want to work on. Some of them are not things that can even be counted or categorized and that is okay with me.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2011 was a wonderful year and 2012 will be even better! I was reading a website I found Pick The Brain and it was talking about what to change in 2012.
I don’t normally make new year’s resolutions but it says that most are abandoned by January 20th! That is not giving the resolution really any time. This quote also stood out to me:
•“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again” (Ben Franklin)
How true is that! So basically we make new year’s resolutions and then give up on them and go back to our own ways. If you want something bad enough (not everything, but things within your control) you can make it happen with some willpower. Changing things about you that you want to change are (for the most part) within your control. So for my little bit of wisdom (if it can be called that
I wish for the new year for you to have the willpower to make the neccessary changes you need to make in order to attain what you want to attain.
Whatever that may be (as long as it is legal of course!). I mean, there are some things within our control (loosing weight) and others are probably not in our control (marrying a celebrity). So I pray that you can change the things you can change, accept the things you cannot change and wisdom to know the difference (serenity prayer, always powerful in my opinion).

Notice the new design? What do you think? I worked on it this weekend and I think I really like it I finally added a link to follow me on Pinterest (go follow me and some new social media icons that I made. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and are ready for a Happy New Year!!
I almost went to bed (I am EXHAUSTED!) without posting Handmade Tuesdays. Oops!! But I didn’t forget, so here it is!
December 25th, 2011
Over 2,000 years ago something happened that forever changed how we live and how God connects with us. Let us never forget that the true meaning of Christmas is not how many gifts are under the tree, what we are eating or even the family and friends we get to see. It all has to do with a little baby that was born in a stable.
——–”Everything Changed” by Eddie Kirkland
On a night like this, on a broken road, she is far from sleep, she is far from home. For a baby’s cries tear the still of night and she wonders why…
The future was bright and clear, she planned for her wedding day, her daddy would hold back tears giving her hand away but now all her hope and fear in a cradle lay, ’cause a baby came and everything changed.//
On a night like this, many years ago, as she held him close she had come to know, that a mother’s heart could not let him go, and she now knows why….
The future was bright and clear, with hope and a promise made. The light of the world was near, choirs of angels sang, Heaven’s exaulted king, in a manger lay, ’cause a baby came and everything changed.//
When our dreams grow dim and our hearts grow cold, He is never far from our broken souls.//
Gloria, our God is with us, Gloria, He has come to save, Mercy and Love now for every generation, for the Savior came and everything changed.
Gloria, our God is with us, Gloria, He has come to save, Mercy and Love now for every generation, for the Savior came and everything changed.

One of my most favorite Christmas songs.
