Threadless

My friend Linsey Metcalf is in a contest to get her t-shirt design printed. If she wins, the money will go toward her upcoming mission trip to the Dominican Republic. So I'd like to encourage you to take a few minutes, sign up on Threadless.com and vote for her t-shirt design.

I love Linsey and I also love the Dominican Republic. This is a great cause to support!Vote for Toby Now.

Thought you might want to see our temporary Longview living quarters. God bless the Reeves family for letting us stay there for a little while.

Pie charts and new loves

Found this guy while searching for pie charts that have been turned into cool illustrations. I enjoyed seeing his pie chart illustration and the cake that was created to go with it. Great idea.

Additionally, I found this blog. It is an art therapist's blog and I am quite fascinated!

Other things I'm going to spend more time looking at later:
Outlaw Design Blog
Paper Leaf Design Studio
Letterheady - vintage letterhead designs. yessss.

New topic.

Geoffrey and I found a house that we really like. (Right down from Adrienne's parents' neighborhood) We were thinking it might be something that we could think about buying...until I got online and realized that it's on 39 acres and it's 350k. Figures. While it needs some work, I really love the windows in the kitchen and built in bookshelves in the living room. It also has really old, gigantic trees in the yard.

The Lord will provide a house for us that we like, I just think our timing is a little off right now.

Just to dream a little...here are some things I would love to have in a house: (which I think is pretty much what a lot of people want...pretty generic)
- hardwood floors (but we could do this ourselves over time)
- built ins, interesting features (our Waco rent house had bookshelves, a china cabinet and a phone nook)
- good closets
- a garage that doesn't face the street
- trees
- i like older homes but don't want to buy one that will require a complete remodel

Alright, enough dreaming for now.

p.s. Youth camp was awesome. It was great to see some teenagers get excited about following Jesus.

Camp!

Welp, I leave in the morning to go to high school camp with Mobberly BC. We're going to Windermere in Roach, Missouri. Haha...Roach. Hope that doesn't mean that I will be seeing lots of those while I'm there. I bought sunglasses and candy necklaces and stickers for my HS girls group I'll be leading -- this is so that they will think i'm cool...

This guy named Pat Cammarata will be speaking to the students this week and Sarah Reeves will be leading worship.

I got a job. More to come!

So, I'll see you guys next week!

Work in progress...
