I love fun tshirts and tshirts that make a point (in a gentle, fun or quirky manner).  So I thought...how much fun would it be to start thinking of fun tshirts topics to have printed and adding them to my shop.

All Things Bev. If I keep everything under my new umbrella then I'm not being too squirrelly. .......

I like that I can now go in any direction I choose without guilt.

I don't think we should ever feel guilty for trying something new. Let's just be us! Be what we want to be! Enjoy this time with no regrets. I don't think we get a do-over in this earthly time; so as Nike says Just Do It.

I like this one. I think it's perfect for these trying times

All Things Bev is so diverse!

I thought I would take today to show you another"Thing" that is very close to my heart. I have been an avid user of all things essential oil for years. Every time I reach for one of my little bottles of power, I am in awe of God's plants and how he thought of everything from the very beginning. One of my favorites, peppermint essential oil, is a real tummy tamer. A couple of sniffs of this one and I can hear my belly say ....ahhhhhhhhhh.

This pic of me, kneeling in front of a mound of cypress, is from a trip to Mona Utah, right outside Salt Lake City. I had the honor of visiting one of Young Living's many farms and seeing, up close and personal, how our beautiful oils come to fruition (this cypress was on it's way into the distillery). I found out that day how the the "Seed to Seal" promise of purity really works. AND, you guys,....All the smells! Indescribable!!

If you are ever in the Salt Lake area, I hope you'll take the opportunity to drive over to the Young Living Lavender farm in Mona, Utah. It is open to the public most days to visit the plants and take some big cleansing breaths.

So Blessed to have Y.L.E.O. in my All Things Bev portfolio.

Talk soon! Bev

Mother's Day 2020. Totally different with Covid-19 looming over our heads. It wasn't the usual cookout with the family, but, thankful that God gave us a beautiful sunny day here in South Carolina and I took full advantage. 

I slept in...way in! I woke to my husband telling me that he dug a big hole in the front yard and wanted me to see it. The result of the big hole is beautiful. Check it out.
That made me quite happy. I love all things plants too! I've never had a drift rose before. The pic doesn't do it justice. It is just gorgeous with the pinks and peaches.

Seeing this and having the warm sun shining down, my day outside was a no-brainer. We had a nice little brunch and out I went to enjoy my little garden. Pulled a few weeds....sat in the sun....watered my vegetable area.... sat in the sun.... played with the dog....took some photos...Just chilled the day away. 

Now to get started on my next project. Here is the first stage of my next mixed media creation.
I'll keep you posted. Bev

A little technically challenged but......

I just finished up the cover photo for my new All Things Bev Facebook page.  Not bad for my first attempt. I decided to use Canva to help me and I'm thankful that I did, they had a listing for FB cover (so I didn't have to try and resize to fit the pics...remember technically challenged) and they had a ton of templates to choose from, too many actually, but I picked one and started dragging in some pictures that I had downloaded. After much trial and error and a couple of re-do's I was pretty pleased. I added a text box with my name and placed it in the upper right corner, changed the color of the lettering, saved, used the drag and drop method and ta-da!!

I am much more into plants and D.I.Y stuff (All Things Bev), but now I can honestly say I built my own Page. I feel accomplished.....technically challenged....but accomplished.

I love to learn and I love to share what I've learned.

Now.... off to choose my next D.I.Y project.
