Words on My Walls, and a Giveaway
I’ve spent the last 3 years covering our walls with photos and art, and now I am in the process of taking it all down. Bare walls seem sad and lifeless to me. Thankfully, they’re also great blank canvases for family photos and kid art and word art.
This is my sewing and craft room, and I am sooo going to miss this space! It has beautiful sunlight, a nice wall behind my sewing table and machine, a great closet for storage. Even with my “not quite balanced” arrangement, I love looking at this wall. It makes me happy. The large photo is a print I had done from a phone pic I snapped on an evening run. I have an image of Mary, a darling photo of my girls from years ago when they didn’t mind dressing up and taking photos, and two prints by artists I super-duper admire.
I want to point out my newest one. It’s from Just Love Prints. Lindsay also sent me a second print, for one of you!
Isn’t it pretty? And I love the words. They are inspiring any time, but particularly poignant to me right now. Moving is hard. So much is unknown; it can ne overwhelming thinking about what the future holds. St. John Paul II reminds me to be confident, and hopeful with trust in our Lord’s plan.
I’m still working on that. With our dryer breaking 2x this week, and our house plans not quite 100% settled, and all the other moving things that are bound to happen, it is hard to feel confident. Pretty much, anyone who sees me and thinks I’m handling this all well, sees my strong face that I wear for the kids. Otherwise, I’m clinging to the hope that it will all work out.
I can’t wait to find a new space for this lovely and cheerful print, once we find it again after unpacking.

Beautiful! And hard. I’d hang it in the entryway by my front door so I can see it multiple times a day. Prayers for a smooth moving process. I know it is s long, hard days. Hang in there!
Thank you!
I’d hang it in our hallway, fresh from removing 50 yr old wallpaper! 🙂
Good luck with your move; will pray for you and your family!
Thank you! Prayers are definitely appreciated.
I love that!
I just love this print. Lindsay’s artwork is all so lovely, and this is such a poignant quote from JPII that I hadn’t heard before! I’d hang it in my daughter’s bedroom. Best wishes as you move!! We’re still unpacking ourselves…it’s definitely quite a process! I can’t wait to hang some artwork up and make it feel more like home. ❤️
Hmmm. I’m hoping to redecorate (is it “redecorating” if it hasn’t ever actually been decorated cohesively before?) my daughters’ room, and this would be great inspiration for them. 🙂
I hope the move goes smoothly, Gina. I know your folks are going to miss having you close.
What a pretty little space! Praying you are blessed with an even BETTER one in your new home. 😉
Not quite sure where I would hang it yet if I won as we are doing a major overhaul of our house, newly painting rooms and such. But it is such a beautiful print and wonderful reminder!
I have a frame that I use to switch out prints during different liturgical seasons that hangs in our living room. We need a new Ordinary time option!
What a neat idea!
Love this! This would either go in our kitchen or my daughter’s bedroom!! 🙂 Prayers your way for a smooth move!! 🙂
Thanks, Gina! I think I’d put it in my bedroom 🙂
Great place for it!
I would hang my piece either in my office or bedroom!
You share in a beautiful way God’s love! I would hang it in my prayer space! Thank you!
I love this print and all of Lindsay’s work!! Such a great quote, too. I love Saint JP II, but have never heard this one. I’d put this in my baby girl’s room. Best of luck with your move! We’re still unpacking after our move and I can’t wait to get art up on the walls to make it feel more honey!!
Love this print! Thanks for the chance, Gina! I’m thinking I’d put it in our little breakfast nook area. I’m so bad about hanging up stuff bc we have few frames and I hate spending the money! Need to work on it! Thanks for the inspiration!!
I love these prints and would love to hang them in my little ones room.
These prints are beautiful. I would hang one over my kitchen sink.
I am so glad I stumbled upon this post! I just ordered one for my new goddaughter and I want one for my daughter in her room, too!
I would hang it on my bedroom wall 🙂
