I LOVE vinyl! And I especially love the huge wall stickers. I want to share with you all a brand new Etsy shop that sells these very things, that are unique and just…amazing! Tara, from A Mustard Seed Dream, gave me a glimpse into her life and business…
HBL: How did you get started with your craft?
MSD: My mom taught me when I was little to be crafty, when I found out about the stickers it just fit with all the possibilities they have to offer.
 |
| Chalkboard Map of America: Made from Chalkboard Vinyl! |
HBL: What do you love about your craft?
MSD: That if you get tired of it you can take it down and change it. It doesn’t have to stay forever.
HBL: Describe yourself in one word and explain
MSD: Grungy. That was my nickname that my dad gave me after I fell off my horse in a big frozen mud hole one fall day. Since he passed away that name is really special and reminds me of him.
 |
| Tree with Leaves |
HBL: What is a typical day of work for you
MSD: No day is typical. Whether it is doing the stickers or working with the Juvenile Probation. Nothing is ever the same. Change is good for me and keeps me thinking.
HBL: What would be your dream for your shop?
MSD: To have my own lil craft store in our own lil town.
 |
| Sports Silhouette |
HBL: What do you do with your time off?
MSD: Ride my Horse. I love it!!
HBL: Describe your family…married, kids?
MSD: I married my Middle School and High School Crush, we dated all through High School and eventually ended up married. We both grew up in a small town with small town values and we still live by those today. We have one sweet little girl who is the center of our lives. I wouldn’t change a thing!
 |
| Love Letter Sticker |
HBL: What is the most important thing in the world?
MSD: My family is the most important thing ever to me. Even though we are not perfect and sometimes we don’t see through the same eyes or have the same ideas. I love each and everyone of them!

September 20, 2010 at 4:34 pmThe sweetest thing that happened to me today was when I went to lay my twins down for their morning nap. LJ just wrapped his little arms around me and put his head on my shoulder and cuddled up to me while I sang to him. It was so sweet to get to just stand there and hold my baby (esp since they are 13 months now and don't like to cuddle mommy….) Then, to my complete surprise, when I went to put WC in his crib he cuddled me also! It was such a sweet moment with both my boys that I actually teared up. 🙂

September 20, 2010 at 6:19 pmfor my second entry – something sweet that happened today:
I surprised my daughter at school and had lunch with her and her friends. We talked and laughed and had a great time. The best part was when my daughter realized there was just one cookie in her lunch and she asked me to take 1/2 of it home for her little sister. I just love how much they think of each other when they aren't together. 🙂
Alice H says
September 20, 2010 at 6:55 pmSome cool stuff there. I like the headboards. But also the argyle print wall art graphic. You have some great giveaways!
Shannon says
September 20, 2010 at 7:11 pmI love it all! I live in an apartment so vinyl is such a great way to personalize the space. I especially love the huge tree with beautiful leaves.
Shannon says
September 20, 2010 at 7:12 pmHooray for bonus entries! Something sweet that happened today is that I got the last of my testing scheduled. I'm trying to donate a kidney to my dad and we're soooo close. It doesn't get much sweeter than that.

September 21, 2010 at 1:29 amToday was the first time in over a month I saw the kids I nannyed for 2 years. The oldest gave me a hug and had a huge smile on his face when he saw me. "I missed you" he said. Melted my heart.

La Vita Bella says
September 23, 2010 at 3:30 pmThe best thing to happen so far today is, although my 2 year old woke up at 5:30, she didn't cry and I didn't actually have to get out of bed till 6:30. 🙂
