Inspired You

November 9, 2012 Filed Under: bird watching, blogging/social media

Sometimes you run across someone online who you just absolutely adore. Marian Parsons, Miss Mustard Seed is one of those people you meet, you love, you walk away encouraged.

I’ve hung out with Marian, we’ve chatted on the phone, texted, and we’ve even sat next to each other on a plane (she was kind to put up with my plane riding shenanigans, have I mentioned planes and I don’t get along?) I even bought one of her Mustard Seed tee shirts. I’ve read her blog for years and y’all she’s one of the sweethearts of the blog world. I’m a fan.

And she wrote a book.

Inspired You. Letting God Breath New Life Into Your Heart and Home

Inspired You is a book you want to flip through just looking at all the photos which are stunning, then, you want to sit down and read all the words, then you want to get up and create something beautiful! It’s a perfect combination of inspiration, motivation and of course, fantastic tutorials like making an ottoman, making a sheet music wreath and of course~how to paint furniture.

Here’s a sweet little 90 second video of Marian talking about her book:
