Add a Lil' Whimsy to your day

It's been a while since I posted a pic from my house...

How darling is this frame? I'm totally in love with the color and definitely the print from the I Am Project (c:

It's from a new etsy shop called Lil' Whimsy Frames! 

They can do any color and switch up shapes and schemes so you can do a custom fun frame for wherever you need a lil' bit of whimsy (c:

Now before you think I'm just plugging a new sponsor, hear me out!

Remember my little friend Matthew? The one with stage 4 Neuroblastoma?

That was right before he got diagnosed...

And this is just a short while ago...he looks a little different, but same ol' smile.

Unfortunately, they just got done with their 7th round of chemo and there has been no change. NO CHANGE. How is that even possible???

Needless to say, the future is kinda bleak at the moment.

He and his sweet mommy have been in NYC for the past few months battling this round of treatment with some of the best specialists in the country...but they still need help and a lot of it.

So Lil' Whimsy Frames was born!

 They are donating *all profit* to help out this sweet family while they are living out this horrible situation.

So if you would like to add an adorable frame to your collection and help out a great cause at the same time, drop by and check it out!!! 

And prayers are always welcome. Much love, friends. (c:

One of my favorite things about her little bloggy???

the i am project 

In Tobe's own words, it's purpose is to "affirm and inspire the beauty in every woman, to celebrate the uniqueness in each of us, as well as the commonalities that unite us as women".

Just beautiful, ain't it??? (c:
