i have not much to say today….but lots of happy things to see.
it's my birthday week.
so i feel good…happy…ready for a BIG year.
it's going to be.
i am positive.
like everyone else….i am loving the new Mumford & Sons.
so so good.
hey….craig says i never answered the questions you asked last time.
is that true?
i know a lot of you asked me to do a tour of the craft house…but it's hard because we work so hard to get it ready for Craft Weekend and then we run out of time to take a ton of pics or video and then everyone comes for CW and the tour doesn't happen.
but someday i will do it…i promise.
i will make it worth the wait. :)
SO…do you have other questions? do you have stuff you wish i would blog about but don't?
what would you like to ask…what do you want to know….bring it on.
Jacci in Ohio - Oooh… style evolving over time. Like that idea! 😀 I think we all kind of go through stages… I noticed that your own style kind of blossomed a few years back when you started taking colorful pictures on purpose to fight winter blues. I’d love to hear your thoughts on your style developing.
Jacci in Ohio - ha ha – I *wondered* when I read that! 😀
amber reece - MEEE too! I need those glasses, where are they from??????
www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1407964423 - How do we find you on Pinterest? I actually think you invented pinterest or should have. Your links and likes are a big reason as to why I follow your blog but not the only reason;) Did I miss the answer to that question? As for your teenager, my daughter is almost 17 and she would freak if I put her in my blog, lol! She freaks if I post pics of her on my FB. It’s a touchy subject and I totally respect that.
love to you and yours! Jen
Amy - Love the pretty pics– so colorful.
Kind of a personal question here: Through other blog posts, I felt led to believe that your first pregnancy was not 100% planned and occurred prior to marriage. Do you talk to your older kids about this topic? Are you a ‘lay it all out on the table’ or a ‘mums the word’ kinda gal when it comes to the risque topics of growing up. What do you teach your own kiddos about it? How do your religious belief tie in or conflict with this happening in your life? How did your own mom and sister react?
Ani G W - I think it would be fun to know some of your kiddos favorite things!
Tammy - Happy Birthday Meg! I love your blog! Someday I hope to be able to put myself on the CW list!
As for questions… everyone has asked such wonderful ones! Some of the ones I like, are the ones for tutorials for the wire words, aprons and the headbands, and the ones about how Lauren is doing.
However, the biggest question listed that I love is, are you planning on posting a tour of the new country home?
elma - Well when you have many kids the older ones get jobs and go to school so they are never home. I have six left at home but only have the three littles ones home with me everyday.
Chelsea - I’d love to hear more about your craft weekends, how you decide what to make, how much you charge, what things you supply, how many ladies attend, how do you get sponsors? all that fun stuff, it sounds like lots of fun (and lots of work)
Happy Birthday!
megan - I’m not surprised at all! I’m sure so many readers can connect with Meg because of what she shares about her kids and family life… Lauren’s definitely got the least blog time, if she doesn’t mind I’d love to hear just a little more about her just like Annie and Talby, especially since college is coming up (I think?)
megan - marion, ks
Siobhan - Im really suprised at all the Lauren questions. Tht is all.
lauren - Happy Birthday Meg. I am a daily visitor and appreciate you so much. Love your candid observations on life and parenting and faith. I have laughed out loud at your thoughts, been inspired by your ideas and prayed for you like a friend. Have a wonderful year and, trust me, from what I see (and I know it’s limited), your kids will grown into amazing adults…..not because you are a perfect parent but because you are an intentional parent. None of us can be perfect, and it’s not easy, but you are a hard worker and a woman of prayer and great faith. He has you (and your kids) covered.
Katy @ Live Laugh Love Craft - I’ve said it before, but I love when you post vlogs. 🙂
Also, I would loooove a ruffled apron tutorial!
Michelle - Hi Meg! Happy birthday. Are you regretting asking us to ask you questions yet? Because you’ve got a lot here!! Thank you for inspiring me to add more color to my life and to do more art with my kids. 🙂 I’ll limit myself to one: what the heck is that delicious looking chocolate peanut butter looking concoction in those pretty, pretty pix?
Thanks!
Christina - Happy Birthday, Meg! We share a birthday week. 🙂 Mine was yesterday. I love your happy pictures…they always make me smile. Always!
Shannon - Happy Birthday! Check out this etsy listing. Saw it and thought “I bet Meg with all the rainbow stuff would LOVE this”. Wishing you a beautiful year of happy days.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/104610906/sale-rainbow-spectrum-big-size-bubble
the whyte house - i just need the inside scoop…did the salvation army by the skating rink move or close permanently? i made a special trip today and it was no more! agh! 🙂
completely not what you were expecting, huh?
Julie - Happy Birthday week!
I recognize so many of those beautiful colorful images from Pinterest! If you had a Pinterest account, it would be awesome!
I’d love to see more of your current home…decorated or not!
Peggy - I want to know two things:
First, do you have a game room in your dining room at the farmhouse?
Second, will you tell me where “the barn” is? Can’t afford to go to CW but I live in Nebraska and it really can not be unreasonable for me to drive there.
Thanks.
misty - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I would LOVE it if you would share a little more about photography. I love every picture you take :)editing.lens.camera bag…. all that fun stuff 🙂
Meredith - Happy Birthday Meg!!! Hope you have a wonderful year. I have a couple of those daisy jars (they were for sour cream back in the day). I would love to get more. Love the images you posted. I really want those light grey polka dot chucks. Would love to see a tour of the craft house. Wish I had a craft house. Wish I could come to your craft house. Okay I am done, have a great day!!!!
Mindy W - Happy Birthday a million times over!! What an absolute blessing you are to me! You find the good. You search for the sunny-side up. Even when it’s not. You don’t cover up life. L-O-V-E that!!!!
Now, if you could pretty please, from the bottom of your birthday heart just link up all your Happy things to look at. Not during birthday week, of course. Party. Celebrate. Work on Monday. 🙂
Zoryana - First of all, Happy Birthday week! I love your blog and have a couple questions. How do you motivate yourself to work out all the time? Also how do you motivate yourself to be so positive and cheerful? I would love a tour of both homes too! What does a typical day look like for you? Do you go to church every Sunday?
Lachalle - Cannot wait to CW in October . But heres a few questions.
Whats in your purse ?? with photos of course .
What do you carry in your camera bag . Gear? Extras?
~L~
Ali - What kind of hair products/make-up do you use? You always look so put together and beautiful!
Sara Torbett - Hi Meg! First, thanks for being you, being real, and such a place of honest inspiration for us gals on the web! I’m wondering how you got from here, to there so to speak with your dreams for Craft Weekend. Like, was it clear which steps to take from Point A to Pont B? God is confirming a few dreams to me over and over lately. I just keep trying to do the next right thing, but not rush His timing!
Heidi - Happy Birthday, Meg! Hope your day or week is as special as you! I love every part of you and your perfectly imperfect beautiful life!
Would love more details of CW weekends and craft tutorials. Of course, keep the George and family post coming.
Amy Petz - *5 posts a week…not a day…I’m not superwoman…
Kathie M. - Do you really have a house dedicated to just Craftweekends?? I would also love to see a tutorial on the headbands you guys make! I love them! 😀
Eva Scott - Happy birthday week! I’d love if you did an Apron tutorial AND a headband tutorial (the one you just did at CW). PLEASE!!!! Oh and please always do CW. I need my kids to be a *bit* older before I can possibly come. 🙂
Elizabeth Malchoff - yes, more about lauren!!!
Marsha P. - I thought of one more. As the Holidays get closer and closer, could you give us stocking stuffer ideas? I have the hardest time coming up with something for my kids, mine are in the teen (boy) and tween (two girls) age groups.
Marsha P. - TV show favorites? Did you watch Downton Abbey? What are your goto beauty products? Do you have a favorite scent for your bath/shower? Are you into candles. Do you have any new favorite clothing stores? What is your favorite Sonic drink?
Does Waffle (love him!) enjoy the country life?
Enjoy your blog, seeing pics of your family, and all of the colorful stuff that you enjoy!
Katie - I would like to hear more about Lauren! And also more about your kid’s daily lives and your family life in general.
Michelle Whitlow - I have a questions – do you have some links to those photos??? Cause I see some yummy treats in there 🙂 Pretty please??!!
Hollie - I’d like to see the bunting on the front of your house. Did you make it out of oilcloth so that it would be weather proof?
Vonda - My question is, up there, in those group of pictures, WHERE was that pile of afghans in the bright colors taken. If you tell me they are all yours, well I am just gonna cry. LOVE THOSE THINGS!!!!
andi k. - i’m wondering how you are in real life? how does that compare to how you are in your blog? just wondering.
Samantha - Just wondering when your oldest child is going to get blog time? She seems like a great kid. She seems to have been forgotten. Just wondering why we never see her on your blog?
roganne - happy birthday! it is my daughter’s 2nd birthday this week too, so september has a special place in my heart. have a great week 🙂
Shara - Happy Birthday Week Meg!!! I feel like I bombarded you with questions during CW, so I don’t have any at the moment! Can’t wait to see all the ones you DO answer!!!
Kerrin - Happy Birthday! My question is this. How did your blog get so popular? I recently started a blog and I would love to reach a larger audience.
Thanks so much for all you do. It makes a difference in my life.
Janelle - Oh dear…thanks for asking…I have too many questions! My first and foremost (because I need some assistance with my four kiddos) is how do you manage all their activities, homework, fun family time, etc. It is SOOO much harder than when they were all little! I’d love to try some more of your recipes..hmmm…How did you become so strong with your faith? I’d love to be but unfortunately at this time am not 🙁
Tinaehb3 - When I saw George Clooney I literally laughed out loud !! Happy birthday:)
Molly - Happy Birthday Meg!
I would like to know how you started taking pics and I am considering a DLSR camera and want to know what is the best type to start out with and what types of lens/ses do you recommend? You might have already coverd this but I missed it.
Also, how do you carve out time for yourself, in the midst of raising 5 kids? I have two and it’s hard sometimes to find time to myself.
Also, can you do a craft post of all the favorite crafts you and your kids have done? (Gearing up for the holiday breaks).
Hope you enjoy your bday week.
Gittygitt1196 - Happy Birthday week to you!
Just wanted to say I LOVE how colorful your posts always are!
I just started a blog…www.homespunstephanie.blogpspot.com and am still getting the hang of it.
Do you have any advice for a blogging newbie!!?
Steph
Molly - I like Linday’s questions……
Jeannine - Happy Birthday Week, Meg! You’re awesome ♥
I was just wondering if you have any advice for new moms? I’m just getting into the whole being-a-mom thing… my daughter is 7 weeks old tomorrow 🙂 and you seem like you’re a fantastic mom! Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated, haha.
Oh, and do you have any tips for taking pictures of your children as they grow? Are there any tricks you’ve picked up for taking baby pictures? Does having a good DSLR camera make a HUGE difference? I’m afraid I’ve fallen into the habit of taking 99% of my pictures of my daughter on my phone because that’s what I have most readily available.
Thanks Meg! Hope you have a wonderful birthday 🙂
mommyjulia - i’d like to know more about Lauren! 🙂 but, i get that she’s probably not super cool with that idea! but, does she have post high-school plans? any volleyball scholarships for her? she certainly seems pro in your pictures!
also, what advice would you give to a young mom in regards to the burden/privilege of raising my young ones to choose & follow after Christ? i’m sometimes completely burdened by the responsibility, yet sometimes count it a blessing to show them the way. what are your thoughts?
oh, & one more thing! can you give a top ten books list? i’ve been wanting to read some of the books you’ve been reading lately but i always forget to take note of the titles. could you hook me up with some literature?
Alice H - you should totally sell tutorials in your etsy shop!!!
Alice H - I like these questions too!!
Alice H - WHERE are those glasses from??? I think I need them.
Happpy birthday week! My oldest son will be 12 on the 4th. Growing up too fast. Ugh!
I’d like to know more about your kids, your parenting style and technique. How you discipline? What kind of chores your kids do? Things like that. Are you and Lauren close? I feel like my daughter and I aren’t as close as I’d like to be. Any tips?
I only have 3 kids. A 13 year old daughter Emilee, an almost 12 year old son Zackary, and a 2.5 year old named Colton.
Lisa M. - Wow. There’s alot of questions already posted here 🙂 Good luck!
First, Happy Birthday week!! I hope you (or someone does) have some fun stuff planned!
I have one question…just a curiosity…Do you miss living in the Craft House (when it wasn’t entirely the Craft House:)?
You are my top blog and I wish I lived closer so I could go to Craft Weekend JUST to make one of those aprons!! I don’t sew, but you always say in your posts you can teach people how to sew. That would be awesome!!!!
Thanks for all you share!
Linda - needed this beautiful bit of cheer on my foggy fall day! Your blog always makes my day. Everything you blog about is amazing! I’d love to see the house you living in. Just to see how you’ve decorated it. I love your style!
Kirsten J - Ok. Reading all of these questions is giving me anxiety. How do you do it?
First. Happy birthday week, mine was last week and when I went to Starbucks the other day and used my happy birthday free drink postcard and the guy said “happy birthday” to me, it made my heart happy. My sister and my mom forgot my birthday -wah!
Second. George. *sigh* I have a picture saved on my computer my sister emailed me from when they were filming Ocean’s titled “proof that God exists” with Brad and George sitting by the pool. Tongue in cheek about the proof of God, but really? I replied to her “if that is proof, I should be sitting between them!”
And. Questions? Picturing us sitting at Starbucks yakking….hmmmm….do you make lists? Do you ever ask for help? Do you ever future trip? Will Lauren go away to college? Did you ever have a penpal? Do you ever just veg out in front of the tv? Reality tv? Or talk shows? NCIS? What blogs do you read regularly?
Laura - Happy Birthday, Meg! I was wondering what size the mat and frame for the Urban Outfitters Butterfly poster is.
Desiree - This is so Happy!! I always love visiting your blog because I know there will always be something colorful and amazing and smile-inspiring! Happy birthday-week!! 😀
-Desi @ Matilda Jane Clothing

Juli - what is the source for the upper right hand picture in the “happy 1” segment? i want to pin it, it’s beautiful! also, i looked for you on pinterest as well???
stephanie - Happy Birthday! I would love to see more pictures of the house you are in now.
Dianne - That picture of George Clooney made me laugh! I think you’re the long lost sister I never had!
Heather - Happy Birthday! Thanks for the beautiful posts every week.
Lindsey - I love all the pictures in this post! Funny that you snuck George in there – tee hee! Happy Birthday! I hope the coming year is an amazing one for you! My questions are the same as many others: how do you do the fabric wrapped letters, are you on Pinterest? You blog is my go-to every. single. day.
Christina - Happy Birthday it is your one day that is meant just for you & only comes once a year. Do something very special & I hope it turns out great. Thank you for your blog & your time.
Jen - HAPPY HAPPY Birthday week! My hubby came home from work one evening with those gray polka dot Chucks for me only my accent color is RED instead of pink! I super LOVE them!
Rachel - How about a ” Day in the life of Megalicious?” :)Or any of your crafty make overs of this that and the other? Or a tour of the farm house? Some new recipes?
Basically we love you no matter what you blog about:)
PS. I hope the “Megalicious” thing isn’t too annoying!
Marla - I used to live in Newton and I love your blog! Now, I live just a little bit south in ICT.:) I am wondering why you and Beki from the Rusted Chain have never mentioned each other or worked together? You are both pretty high profile, nationally known bloggers who seem to live in the same vacinity, and yet, neither of you have ever mentioned the other. I just find it odd that you both love photography and farm life and all things vintage. I don’t know either of you, but it’s something that I’ve been curious about. Enquiring minds…:)
Christina - I would like a more of an about me post. From where you grew up, met your husband where you have lived? Do you plan on staying in Kansas? Did you work prior to having kids. Maybe some more advice on raising teens? I have a 14 & 17 year old. Also my son is thinking about going to Kansas State & I would love to know your favorite things about Kansas
sarah j - merry birthday week!
Krista - Happy Birthday week! Thanks for sneaking a little George eye candy in there for us in all of your colorful loveliness!
Kait - I’m going to echo the request for a tutorial on the fabric wrapped wire words/letters/whatever. I’m not terribly good at craft stuff but I want to give that a go.
I’m also curious about your relationship with Lauren and how she’s doing. I’m assuming she’s not on the blog much because you’re respecting her privacy so if this gets ignored, I totally understand.
And last but not least, how did the idea of Craft Weekend happen and evolve to this level?
Becky J - Meg I would love to hear more about your faith and how it impacts your family and your daily life 🙂 I purchased Jen Hatmaker’s books 7 and Interrupted..WOW..have you finished them and how have you processed all that they are? I think she is spot on- which means I need to do some soul-searching and changing!! Have you read Francis Chan’s Crazy Love? Blessings…
Hollie - Happy Birthday! I would love a tutorial on the fabric wrapped letters. I’ve looked around and yours are the cutest by far! Also, how about a CW apron tutorial? or could you sell a tutorial in your Etsy shop? Would love to start making a few for Christmas 🙂
sara m. - I’d like to know what denomination your family is. I know a lot of craft bloggers are Mormon, but you say a lot of things on your blog that lead me to think that you believe something closer to my own beliefs (I am not Mormon).
Just wondering :o)
Tiffany - Hey there, wishing you a very Happy Birthday – from the East Coast!
Hollie - Happy Birthday! Could you give us a tutorial on your fabric wrapped wire letters? I’ve looked online but none are as cute as yours. How about a CW Apron tutorial? or could you sell your pattern in your Etsy shop?
Thank you for your daily inspiration…you help in ways you don’t even know.
Alisa - I want to know what the country house looks like inside and how you manage both!
Molly - here is my question…..i too am a “cardi-girl”. I love me some cardigans. however i am not quite sure how to keep them clean. ya know how often should i wash them, hand wash vs. machine, line dry or dryer. what are your thoughts….any suggestions 🙂
Kelly - Those polka-dot Converse have been on my wish list for so long! So cute!
Andrea - This is my “go to every day never fail” blog. You are so inspiring as a mom, as a child of God, as a crafter!
I encourage any recipes – I have made many you’ve shared in the past, including the cookies and Pam’s cheesecake (which should be illegal).
My question: are you still crafting for your Etsy shop? I could understand, with the CW business, if you’re not, but if you are I want to be ready to shop/spend when it opens!
Liesl - George Clooney is a very happy thing to look at–love how you had in amongst all the other beauty!
Happy Birthday!!
Katie N. - Happy Birthday Week!!! I love you blog – it always brightly colors my day! May you have a blessed week and year!
robin allen - George just makes my day…as does George STrait, Bon Jovi, Patrick Swayze, Love LOVE your style, color, talent, energy, honesty, Photos, the fact that you love Kansas…SO DO I!!!…my question…do you have a job appl… I want to work at craft weekend…tee hee…
happygirl - Happy Birthday. 🙂
Jo - Hi, Meg. Happy birthday (week)! I would love to know more about your wardrobe. Maybe some outfit posts or where you like to shop. How young will you be this week? 😉
Su@TheIntentionalHome - You are my all time favorite blog (really!!!). . .cause I love your use of color and your pictures. . .it is just pure inspiration. It is like flipping thru a magazine for me. I’d love to see more pictures of the details of your house. .either house. . .your pictures make me smile. Happy. I get excited when your blog posts are in my email box. I also like when you share some of your favorite bloggers, etsy shops, etc. And then I would like to know a typical week schedule for you. . .do you set aside a whole day to craft? Do you do clean on a certain day? Do you grocery shop on a certain day?. . .I guess how you handle crafting, your business/blog, managing the home and 5 kiddos, and taking time to nurture yourself emotionally, physically, mentally, etc. Happy Bday!
CathyC - Happy Happy Birthday Meg!!!!!
donna - thanks for including that picture of George – drool drool.
Su@TheIntentionalHome - I want to know that too. . I tried looking for you and could not find you.
Allyson - that was my question too! 🙂
so cheery. so positive. the images and you!
Su@TheIntentionalHome - Oh I agree with that statement. . .parenting teenagers (I have a 15, 13, and 12 yr old) aer harder than when they were into everything toddlers. You are not alone.
W. - Happy birthday week!
Gemma - Did you ever convert the attic in the craft house? Also out of the two houses which do you prefer to live in?
Gemma x
Denise - I would like to know the name of the chicken fabric from Craft Weekend 3. Thanks for letting us see inside your life.
Amy Petz - Hi Meg! I am wondering how you keep yourself motivated. How do you fight the burnout? Also, how do you balance private/public? And finally how do you deal with haters/doubters.
I ask these questions because, I was posting an average of 5 posts a day on my blog for over a year and then I just couldn’t motivate myself to do it at all this September. Someone very close to me said they just don’t “get” why I would want to share so much of my life with strangers and I was stumped for an answer that satisfied him and that lead me to wondering if I was just being narcissistic, which lead to more over processing, which sucked the will right out of me. I hope to start back up again, but it’s hard to stay motivated when there are so many amazing, informative and beautiful blogs already out there.
Lindsay - brace yourself, i have too many questions…
yes i would like to know if we can follow you on pinterest?
and i would like to know more of what you were like when you were a mom to just one or two…were you a typical first time mom (stressed out by little things (like me)) or have you always been laid back?
did you always make time for crafts or have you eased into that?
have you always loved color and been bold with your fun choices or did it take you a long time/a lot of trial and error to figure out your style?
and of course everyone wants to know about the farm house 🙂 both houses are amazing, what a sweet life!
sue - Hi Susan. i was wondering the same thing but if you times the number of people to the amount meg charges for craft weekend once a month I would think thats how she can afford both.
robin - i would love, love, LOVE for you (or Annie…or any of your kids) to sing that birthday song that is sung at one of your kids’ schools…. 🙂 on your birthday the angels sang…or something like that…. 🙂 please share…………. 🙂 record it…post it…i wanna hear it, please 🙂 pretty please…
i also would love to know more about your oldest daughter… i know she’s a teenager and probably doesn’t want to be “featured,” but i would love to know more about her… 🙂 i feel like your other kiddos are featured a lot and you can tell a lot about their personality from your pics… 🙂 Lauren, however, remains to be a lil mystery 🙂
sue - Which is your favorite camera lens and why ?
Jessica - I would love to know about how your marriage has been through the years with kids and also what you do to keep it awesome, particularly in the baby/toddler years. Also, more about your relationship with Lauren. And the move/2 houses like everyone else.
midwestmom - How many are on “the list” that’s a great question. How do you handle your kids grades? Reward good grades? Punishment for bad grades? Today midterms came out and there was a D. (for my freshman) I got too mad and feel guilty now. I threatened taking everything under the sun away. While the D is bad, it’s not world ending. (other grades were As and Bs). I swear parenting 10 & 14 yr olds is harder than when they were babies and crazy toddlers!!!
Susan - I will go ahead and ask what everyone has been wondering…how do you afford 2 houses?
Janine - Happy Birthday! I love your blog 🙂 We share the same birthday and I am not feeling so optimistic about it this year. I am having a tough time with this one. Definitely not feeling it. Please send some of that positive energy my way!
Susan - like many others, I was shocked at the move to the “country house”. I will just ask what everyone else wants to…..how do you afford to keep two houses? oh, and have you considered posting recipes for the meals served at craft weekend?
susan
beth - i need to know where the glasses with the flowers come from. i need them in my home.
Amanda - Happy, happy birthday week! Can you do a little tutorial of how you made those lovely fabric-covered wire words, pretty please? Thanks so much sharing your world with us, whether it be a sweet little chippy paint treasure from The Barn or a tough mothering moment. You are special!
Jessica @ This Blessed Life - I’d love to know that, too, please! Those would be a perfect Christmas gift for my best friend! 🙂
maggie - i, like everyone before, love reading your blog. i love all the color that you infuse in your pictures. it has made me want to use more color in my home. i would love to know more about your move to the farm and your decision to make your amazing home into the Craft home….what was your reasoning??? just curious, i think it is awesome and brave…
Libby Smith - Hi, you are so inspiring! Thank you for all you share. You are a true gift. You once blogged about your manual settings on your camera for indoor, evening photos…can’t find it???? Also, just curious in general about what settings you use for much of your photography in various settings. Thank you and Happy Birthday!
Jen - I would love to know how you decided to move and keep the CW house just for CW?? That’s amazing to me! What a blessing to be able to have a whole house, a TOTALLY COOL house, to use just for CW!!!
I think my kids would revolt if we left such a big house and moved to something smaller. How did your kids react? Although the farm life seems to suit you all just beautifully! 🙂
Andrea - Happy bday week! Judy love reading your blog!!
I’d love for you to share more about being a young mom and how you and mr. d made it through. Statistics show otherwise you seem like you have a strong healthy marriage!! I’m so intrigued with young moms as a teacher of high school kids, many of whom have gotten pregnant.
Gwen - WHERE?!?!? Did you find those flowered glasses at the top, under the photo of the red door? They are wonderful!
I am also very interested in what you to do edit your photos. What software do you use? What is your system for processing through so many photos?
Have a very Happy Birthday!
Chrissie grace - These pictures make me smile:)
Happy birthday friend!
Nicole Gjeldum - Have a great birthday! Mumford & Sons are just divine! Thanks for sharing the great pics of color and happiness!
Valerie @ Chateau Ala Mode - Happy birthday to one of my very favorite bloggers! I love your blog so much and it never disappoints. You rock the blog! I wish you a very happy birthday. Hope it’s happy. I love the smiling quote from Elf…such a funny movie. It always makes me laugh. I would love to have you blog about any decorating you can. Your new home, the craft house or whatever…HA that’s your blog. Sorry, now I’m getting slap happy. I better go now!
mollie's mom - Happy Birthday!!! It’s MY birthday week, too 🙂 Enjoy your day and week!!! Marcie
colleen sullivan - I, for one, I am more interested in pics of the house you live in currently!
Also, i’m sure you’ve heard this before but your “spirit” is truly inspiring! and it feels very real and not faked.. so you are special! Happy Birthday!
KirstenP - Hey, Meg, you mentioned that you have to edit photos after a photo shoot. Could you tell us (or maybe show us in a video) what is involved in editing photos? Thank you.
Jennifer - I’d love to see some how you decorated your old house in Chicago… see how your style has evolved over time…
And, I’d love to know your beauty routine.
Lee Ann - Will you please come to Washington? It’s beautiful here and we can go for a run. Probably in the rain. But we runners have a chant we say before heading out in the rain, “once you’re wet you’re wet.” We repeat it over and over. And it’s true. So will you come? 🙂 Michelle Allen will run with us. I know you love her. Cuz how could you not?
Chavala - Last Craft weekend there was a pic from your trip to the barn and it had an awesome rabbit head on a plaque. Could you tell me how much it was and if its still there. My sister would LOVE it!
jenny - How many are on the “list” for craft weekend???
elma - I would love seeing more pictures of your vintage goodness and your decorating!!!
jen - Meg-are you on Pinterest?????
