BRAVE GIRLS CAMP...part four or boots edition

let me just say from the beginning that i am a lover of boots.  all boots.
especially cowboy boots.  after my precious time in mc.call idaho,
i will never put on a pair of boots with the same perspective
 they grew
and grew
and grew
just like our friendships and our truths. 
from now on, when i slip on a pair of boots, i will always be 
"putting on my brave girl boots"

"the girl with the boots does not 
mind where she places her foot"
-me-

cul*ti*vate yourself some "brave girls boots"

  1. LOVE that quote! :)

    I think it's so funny that there were so many "boot girls" there! I told Deana that we did not need to bring all our boots... I hope she doesn't see your post, or I may never live it down!

  4. Super Cute Chrissy! Sadly, I do not own a single pair of boots. A friend of mine has been bugging me to get a pair. I feel like I could be a super hero if I had boots on! I'm gonna have to get a pair. :)

    Much Love to you and your boots,
    Jenny

  5. Chrissy-This post is soooo appropriate!!! Such a symbol of our time there, I love it! You know one of the first things I had to do when I got home was get me some kick ass cowboy boots. Thats what us brave girls do!!!!! This was just a perfect post, and I will forever look at cowboy boots in a very special way too. I love you girlfriend-xo

  12. that is a FABULOUS quote "Missy Chrissy"!! and i love the embroidery to go with it - do you have a pattern for it? I'd love to make one for my creative play-space!

    I love boots, though I no longer own the black cowboy boots I had for many years. I think a "boot portrait challenge" might be needed for those of us that love our boots!!

  25. Oh I LOVE it! I see Kolleen's boots there! It might sound funny, but I actually think of you when I put on my cowboy boots. I know you love boots and I like to give my girls boots in my paintings but for a long time, I never wore them. Now I do, and think of you :)
