Angels Watching Over You {Jeana - Chestnut}

Angels really never had a big meaning in my life, I mean I believe in Angels, I always read about Angels in the Bible.....But a little over two years ago, they took on a whole new meaning to me...that was the night my precious momma, my dear friend and "partner in crime" went to be with the Lord...and became an Angel to me. As a precious friend told me after that night, "Heaven is a little more real today knowing she is there." I am so thankful for the time we spent together, I miss her dearly but I never knew a person who was more ready or who wanted to go to heaven any more than my mom!
As I looked for the color chestnut, I glanced over to my desk where these Angels sit, and I saw the wings and the lantern and I knew that this was what I wanted to photograph.




"They word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" Psalm 110:105



"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Proverbs 4:18

Let your light shine to those around you, you never know who is in darkness and needs it!
Thanks for letting me honor my Mom by letting every one know what a precious lady she was

A Sweet Chestnut Face {Kendall}

Hope you all didn't think I was leaving you hanging out to dry today!  I have been SICK and I hate it!  But my fever has disappeared and I am hoping it's doesn't find it's way back.

Chestnut was hard for me.  I kept thinking of wood, or something similar.  My friend, Jessica, has a sweet Chow puppy that comes to work with her once a week.  He is such a sweet dog and has such a sweet face.  He is close to chestnut.  Just a little lighter, but he wanted to be a model, so here he is...Winston Coover!


Come back tomorrow for another chestnut photo!  Thank you for joining us on our journey.  It is going to be a fun ride.

Crafty Chestnut {week3 by Brooke}


This week we are hunting chestnut, thoughout the week we hope to inspire you on your hunt with our chestnut inspired photos. The link up for chestnut will open on Sunday!

Ok, so lets talk chestnut, this color was kind of tricky for me. Last week when I was hunting carnation pink I thought I had already found my chestnut color, but after getting the crayon out the box and coloring with it a little I felt it didn't quite match. So I went on the hunt again...I just couldn't seem to find it.

Finally I came across these...

I thought the little pieces of outer shell were a pretty close match to the reddish brown color the chestnut crayon left on the paper. This photo worked and I had all intentions of ending my search and just going with this photo. However, when I was making some thank you notes to send to the guest of my son's birthday party, I noticed that some of the paper I was using was a close match too!



So, today you get a variety of chestnut. I went from hunting it to seeing it everywhere!

Come back tomorrow to see Kendall's take on chestnut! We will open up a linky for you to share your chestnut inspired pictures on Sunday, meanwhile you can see where carnation pink took us for week 2 and link up your carnation pink inspired photos here until Saturday. Curious on your thoughts, it this format working for you? We share then you share?
