You had to know it was coming...
I mean, it's been several months. I knew it was high time, I just didn't have the proper phrase, until I posted this. And here you go! Straight from the scissors of Olivia and myself, words of encouragement and hope for a family on the verge:
And you know what? We do feel more hopeful! Fancy that.
And, of course, in every single way that really matters, we have it all. Still, bills must be paid, and at least one adult per family needs a job for that. I've applied, he's applied, no one's biting. If we can just hang on a bit longer...
Do have yourselves a great one, sweet friends.
xoxox.
Love it! And you are so right-- we are very blessed living in an age where we do have so so so very much! Goodluck with the job hunting! x.

You know that saying, when you get to the end of the rope, tie a knot and hang on? Well seems you've strung your rope up and added happy thoughts. Well done and good luck.

Love it . . . a terrific sentiment, beautifully made. I think I need to make one of these for my own home.
Good luck with the job hunt!

A beautiful reminder. Everything you say is all true. I know so many people (including us) that have been affected by the current economy. Such a positive attitude, I really applaud you and wish nothing but good things to come your way. I keep having the feeling, if we could just hold on a bit longer things are bound to take a better turn.

Hello Amy - I used your lovely 'Look at All We've Got!' banner as an image on my blog today (credited back to your flickr photo). I hope that was okay.
An extra treat for me is finding your lovely blog. I can't believe the amazing spirit that this post from over a year ago reveals and I'm looking forward to catching up with your life and seeing how it all turned out for you. x
