I think you may be able to tell from all the exclamation points in this paragraph just how thrilled I am to be able to share all of this with you! If you would like to support the Smoky Mountain region, here are two sites I found that sell Smokies Strong tees and donate a portion of the sales dollars to help the people in that area.It’s March 1st and that means it’s time for another installment of DIGITAL BLOOMS, where I team up with my friend and ultra talented flower designer Rebecca Dawn Design each month to create 3 free desktop wallpapers! Except… plot twist - this month, there aren’t any flowers! March is going to be an incredibly exciting month here at JustineCelina for a few reasons - first, it’s my Blogiversary month (I hit publish on my very first post almost 2 years ago!), it’s the first month of spring (hallelujah!) and I have some amazing plans in the works (including travel - and you’re coming with me!). This month’s calendar verse from Revelation 21 reflects my hope that the Lord will restore the area and make all things new again. It’s got the Pixel Bender affect that I tried in January.

I took this month’s calendar photo at an overlook in the Smoky Mountain National Park, south of the burned forest area. We were happy to see the things that were unharmed-like our favorite Gatlinburg restaurant No Way Jose’s, where we stopped for lunch-but sad to see the charred remains of destroyed homes and buildings and the damage to the national forest. On Sunday afternoon we had a chance to see how it looks, in person, three months later. For years the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg/Smoky Mountain National Park area has been one of our favorite places for family vacations and anniversary trips and we followed the story of the fires that swept through the area in late November.
