Fame On Fridays, Because I heart My Readers!

First, I’d like to announce the winner of last week’s Fame on Fridays GIVEAWAY from Raj at Pink Chai Style…  the winner is…. JUNO!  with her comment:

It is hard to say what the favorite item in my closet is because I don’t fit into most of it at the moment.  I guess at this time my favorite item is my maternity pants (black) but I am hoping to get rid of them as soon as possible.  My favorite item I want to get into is my Brown linen skirt from Banana Republic.  I love the way it fit and flowed.

Congrats Juno, and you will receive your new e-book in your email box this soon!

Today’s reader feature:  Stacey from Embracing Change

I am so excited about today’s guest feature!!  I have been a big fan of Stacey’s for a while now, and follow both of her blogs.  She has amazing talent, and a very busy life!  Take it away Stacey!

My name is Stacey and my blog home is Embracing Change.  You can find my blog at http://staceyembracingchange.blogspot.com.

I have been blogging since November 2010 after my husband told me I should start a blog.  I wonder if he is sorry now as it has become my hobby!  Blogging is labor-intensive and time-consuming, but I love it!  My passion is for thrifting and recreating furniture.  I also craft and create, but making over old ugly pieces of furniture is my true love.  I enjoy taking the old and making it new!  I enjoy decorating and home decor as well.  First and foremost, I am a Christian.  I work full-time as both a pastor’s wife and as director of a large day care center director at our church.  I attended Millersville University and earned my master’s degree in clinical psychology and have a background in working with children in the field of mental health and counseling.  I worked in this field 10 years until the Lord directed me into my current job.

I have two beautiful, creative girls as well – Emma is 7 and Ana is 4.  I also have an awesome husband named Chris.  He is an amazing man! I am blessed beyond measure. I currently live in Northeast PA above Scranton - I call it the “frozen tundra.”   I am busy all the time and struggle at times to find time to do what I love, but I always seem to make the time.  Isn’t that what passion is all about?  I am passionate for painting, decorating and creating.  It is my therapy and my outlet.  In fact, my passion for creating and crafting has led me to begin a new business endeavor with my friend Megan who has similar interests. Our business is called The Blessed Nest and we are in the beginning stages.  You can find us here: http://blessednesters.blogspot.com.  We create home decor and recreate furniture.  We LOVE what we do and wish we had more time although we both know we must keep our full-time jobs! It is a great deal of fun for sure!

My blog is Embracing Change and I would love for you to come visit and perhaps follow me if you like what you see!

I also host a linky party weekly on Thursdays called Creative Inspirations!  I would love if you came by to see all the fabulous projects or even link something up yourself!  And a special thank you to Leanne for having me here!  I am very honored!

 Isn’t her work gorgeous!?  I am so in love with all of it!  Thank YOU so much Stacey!  I am honored to have you here!!  And thank you to everyone for reading!

xo, Leanne
