just a few happy thoughts // and first vlog.

happy are the people who are in such a state; happy are the people whose God is Lord!!! 
{psalms 144:15}


// buttered corn bread and green tea // 
// the scent of oranges that evoke thoughts of summer // 
// simple moments that bring so much joy for years to come //
// cabinets and cubbies brimming with yarn //
// chocolate woolen socks that go up my knee // 
// music and photographs that make my heart sing // 
// dear friends I am blessed [and honored] to call sisters //
// a suit case ready for adventure // 


introducing my first vlog! despite the imperfections {I can't believe after the third attempts of being IN focus this came OUT of focus and ugh, I repeated myself a lot} I still hope you enjoy...

{and yes, this is my first ever Youtube Video. can you tell? *sheepish grin*}

{oh, please excuse the close up at the end. XP} 

have a question you would like to be included in a vlog? leave a note! 

happy monday, dear friends!

lovingly,
the keeper of the garden.

    Has it ever happend where you remember something and then want to see exactly what it was you remember? Haha, well, anyways... if you did write that post and could find it easily, would you mind telling me the name of it or giving me the link?

    You have quite a large blog to search through, wow! =)

  7. Hey, loved the vlog!
    your desk is really cute! I wish I could have a desk in my room, but it's rather cramped with two sets of bunk beds!

  8. Great job on your first vlog, Miss Grace! I think the out-of-focus look is kinda cool! I would love to sponsor a giveaway if you would like me to! I am doing one for Miss Lauren at Spinning Barefoot and I would be honored to do one for you! Just let me know! You continue to write beautiful posts that make my day, so keep at it:)

  20. Aww! I liked watching your vlog--it was so much fun to hear your voice/see your little "behind the scenes" corner. :) Your room is SO SO cute--wow, I love your desk/bed/everything. :) <3 Haha, aren't D3100's so hard to film with?? That's okay about the odd focus..I would have loved to see you more clearly, but I know personally how hard it is. ;) I have been thinking of doing a vlog..but I am just nervous. o.O Haha :) I'm..weird in front of the camera. :D

    Hugs!

But it was so uplifting and I was so happy to hear from you. So thank you for that. Oh it was the post I wrote about talking to strangers etc..reaching out more, etc...accepting people etc..that's right , now i remember.
    So nice to meet you!
