Weekly Update

Here are photos of things I talked about last week.
First, I have to show a photo of the VBS (vacation bible school) performance. Mine is the only boy on the front row! He practiced his dance moves all week, but when it came down to perform for church this Sunday, he chickened out. Oh, well. I was just so excited to see him do this! Did I say he was on the front row? I still can’t believe it. He is getting a little more brave each day. (Although 10 minutes before this photo, a teacher had to pry him off my leg to get him to sit with his group. Ugh!)
If you didn’t see my previous post, the final amount the VBS kids raised for providing clean water to our friends in Nigeria was close to $7,000!! Isn’t that amazing? Our church will use this money to build a well and buy more purification systems.
So while our kids were saving people in Africa… I’m happy to say that I did go to an upscale shop for some design inspiration. (Seems sort of silly after writing about sick children in Africa!) But it was fun:-) Especially for someone who never goes shopping without someone whining or clinging to my leg!
Bright jewel toned colors are still hot, along with greens, animal print and purple. As usual, I was drawn to the animal prints. Check out these shoes ladies!
If you see wall art or a web site I design with purple snake skin in the background, you’ll know where I got the inspiration. Yes… shoes!
