When I look at you all my grandchildren, big one & little ones ,
The world slows down,
And time—
That thief that steals so much—
Gives something back.

Your fingers curl like mine once did,
Your breath, a whisper of heaven’s hush.
In your eyes, I see echoes
Of all who came before—
And the wonder of all that’s to come.

I’ve counted years in wrinkles and wisdom,
Watched seasons change my name—
From child to parent,
From parent to grand.
But in your smile,
Every chapter finds its purpose.

You are love I didn’t know I still had waiting,
A softness I thought time had worn thin.
But here you are,
Filling rooms with laughter not yet learned,
And quieting fears I never spoke aloud.

What is time, but a gift we pass on?
What is love, but the thread
That ties generations hand in hand?

When I look at you,
I see more than a child.
I see a legacy.
A promise.
A prayer answered.

And I am undone
By the beauty of beginnings
Held in the arms of an ending
That still has so much to give.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself to all of our new followers and reintroduce myself to those who don’t know much about me or this page! 💕 I have been MIA over the last year and a half due to the loss of my dad, becoming the caretaker for my mom, babysitting my beautiful new grandbabies (now 1 1/2 years old and 1 year old), and, unfortunately, some health issues. I really want to get back to crafting and DIYing. It is my Zen, and I love creating ❤️.
💝👉🏻So, please take a moment to say hi and introduce yourself, and tell me where you are from.

THIS IS ME AND MY STORY 👇🏻👇🏻

My name is Angie, and I am the face behind all the creations you see here! I have always had a passion for home decor and DIY. I worked full-time for 17 years in the medical field before I was in an accident back in 2003, which, long story short, took a huge toll on me mentally and physically and ended my career. I am so blessed to say I found Chalk Couture seven years ago and was able to make it my full-time job. It has literally saved my quality of life in many more ways than one. It brings tears to my eyes as I type this because, on the surface, this looks like transfers, paste, and other decorating and creating items, but it’s really friendships, fun, an outlet, and stress reliever, and so much more! You can do it for fun, or you can build a business.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send a message to me or comment with a question. I promise I will help anyway I can. Here is where you can go if you want to take that dive into all this with me. 💕 Chalk Couture. Home | DIY Home Decor | Chalk Couture
