for my girl

i know i post a ton of pictures of ella.
she is with me a lot.
asking me questions and showing me things and telling me things.
yah.
mostly talking all day long.
laugh, if you must, all you mothers of girls who are familiar with the non-stop chatter.
wow!
that's a lot of words!
i am grateful for having my babygirl with me 
and that i am the one who gets to be her mother and raise her.
but....i also have a headache.....everyday.
there i said it.


to show my devotion i made her this little banner.
i got the idea here, 
(you all saw that amazing home tour right?)
and then did my own little spin, cutting white paper into rectangles and printing out instagram square photos so each flag looks like an oversized polaroid.
then wrote my words on the bottom and used my tiny heart punch to bring it home.
sew it all together with white thread and bam!


(that's a shauna reed tutorial for you! you didn't even know you were reading one, didja?)

  2. I've loved Annalea's banner! Every time I read that phrase in the Storybook Bible I tear up. It's only right to have it where we can see it everyday. I'm totally stealing your version of it. In fact, I'm going to pin it right now! Thanks for sharing! :)
