The Lifestyle Mug Collection

And now for another newly available product, mugs, with 6 different styles to choose from! 😁☕️

At $15.00 each (plus shipping if applicable), these mugs all sport a piece of artwork that I created in representation of Saskatchewan.

If you’re interested in supporting local and representing your province in this form (or in forcing someone else to via way of gift🤪) just leave me a comment here on the blog or send me a direct message on Instagram! @Jemstory ☺️💕

 

 

 

 

I myself love a good personalized mug.

Every morning I pick my specific cup for the day and get genuinely disappointed if the one I had in mind isn’t washed (who’s with me?🤪 ) and would be thrilled if one of my mugs, could become ‘that mug’ for you! ☺️

A Gift For The Sask. Men In Your Life – Mens Prairie Apparel

Currently unavailable for purchase 

 

I’m excited to finally share a slice of a project with you all, which I’ve been working on for the last couple months ☺️

 

A Saskatchewan themed, long sleeve shirt… just in time for the season of obsessive giving and gifting might I add 😉

 

I’ve wracked my brain and wrecked my posture while working on designs, but now I’m finally able to show one of the finished products and offer it to you ☺️

As Sweet As Pie

Sunday Nov 26th –

Church was about finding the Lords will for our life.
Do we truly seek His will?
Do we really lay the decisions down for Him to control, or do we let the voices of the world, our family, friends, social media, etc., influence us more than we think and disregard what He would desire for us?

There was more, obviously, but that’s a snippet for you 😉

Post the thought provoking sermon, we went home for lunch and I, for a nap post-haste ☺️
Keeping Sunday tradition strong 😉😋

I woke up to the pitter patter of slightly smaller, quicker feet than normal and when I got upstairs the bro and his family had come over 😊
Some tales of our time apart were shared over pizza and that was Sunday for ya 😏

Monday Nov 27th –

 

‘Twas a day with a mission.
The first day of pie testing, for what I hope to turn into a small little local offering 😉 Continue reading “As Sweet As Pie”

Fears Eased, Thirsts Quenched

Saturday June 3rd –

 

 

 

We were up by 5:00 to prepare ourselves, load the truck and gulp a coffee before hitting the road to go to our friends in Birch Hills, who were letting us borrow yard space for the big, town garage sale day.

 

​​

The morning was overcast and chilly and we feared we were in for a slow, pitiful day but luckily the day took a turn for the better.
Along with beautiful sun came gusting winds now and then, which proved tiresome for some of the hanging items which were being blown violently to and fro and not staying in place… but it was still more bearable than the earlier forecast😏👌🏻

It was still chilly when Mike and I went to take a peek at the garage sale across the street.
So when I found a sporty, thin jacket, that fit, looked alright and was only three dollars, I was extra pleased to add the extra layer until the sun came out 👌🏻😁

(Mike had been working near that area all week so he had driven to meet/help Mom and I that morning.)

As the morning became more bearable, the people traffic picked up and items began leaving the tables.

 

 

Mine included!😁💕🌿

For being a yard sale attraction and not a specifically handmade/new item focused event, I did pretty well with my creations.
Greatly easing the fear of people not wanting any and the day being a bust 😉

Mom took her turn to go out and peruse and then Mike and I went out.
Finding a dresser he bartered down to $25 👌🏻

Wooden Decor Blocks

Looking for small, cute, shabby chic decorations or gifts?

I have just the thing for you 😉

Sticking with the distressed/antique look of the wood pieces I used, I did the font in an overly distressed manner.

Since it’s repurposed wood, the ‘blemishes’, ‘smudges’ and ‘discolorations’ are all a part of the look and charm, making each one a totally unique piece 😉👌🏻

Local pick up in Prince Albert area is available.
I can look into shipping if anyone further away has an interest 😊

Leave me a comment saying SOLD and the coordinating block number and I’ll send you an email so we can arrange delivery 😊

Cost per block: $5.00

Block #1: but first…pray & Blessed.

Block #2: Dream & adore 

​​

Block #3:Forever & ever & ever

 

Block #4 ADVENTURE
