Just because (39)

One of my best friends contacted me last week… she wanted a specific printable to hang as a reminder in her kitchen – “we can do hard things”.  Little did she know, that simple phrase was on my list of printables I wanted to work up… so I was more than happy to oblige.

While I was designing, it really got me thinking about our hardest trial to date – all 3 of us surviving Connor’s NICU journey.  I’m sure that won’t be our last struggle in this life, but I hope and pray that it was our most difficult.  One thing’s for sure, we never knew we were that strong until we had to be… we had no choice.  We definitely count our blessings every day for the miracle that Connor is, and we’re humbly grateful for all of his progress.

I love this phrase – it’s a perfect motivational reminder that we’re never given more than we can handle… and that if we set our minds to it, we can do anything.   

This installment of the Just Because series is a doozy – there are 12 colorways, 3 versions of each color, using 3 pattern pieces: chevron, dots, and houndstooth – that’s a total of 36 files available this time!  I sure hope you have fun with this one.  :)

To download the 8x10 image(s) for printing, simply click on either image in this post, and a new window will open to the download locations in 4shared.  Save the image(s) to your computer, and they’re yours!  Just print it out yourself, or upload to your photo printer of choice.  (Wondering how to download from 4shared?  Please read more here.)
