The Closet Hippo

Hippo's may look cute and friendly, but they are actually quite vicious creatures. There is more to them than meets the eye. If you've ever felt like a hippo, misjudged or underestimated, you have something in common with the God of our universe. And yet, He doesn't write you off. He knows all about you and He is waiting for you to step up and be unashamed of who he created you to be, regardless of what others may think of you. Like a hippo, let's attack our perceptions of self and others.

Fall Decor

I don't have many fall decorations, but I have made a point to hold off on decorating for Christmas and acknowledge the Fall season.

Here is my fall mantle.

I am hoping to, eventually, get a larger mirror to go above the fireplace, and take off the weird drywall bump out and get a custom fireplace mantle done.

Maybe a mirror like this one

And a fireplace mantle like this...

Or probably more realistically like this one...

I decorated our bar cart for Thanksgiving.

And I tried my hand at an idea I found on Pinterest...

My version didn't turn out quite as nice. I had some technical difficulties with the spray paint and the sharpie I used...just don't look at the writing too closely ;)
