Yesterday, I got an email that brought tears to my eyes.
You know when you hear something you'd really like to hear,
and it's wonderful and humbling at the same time?
My blog friend Kim from Reposhture said,
"I am nominating you for the illuminating blogger award because
your love of Christ is so evident all throughout your blog.
You are ringing the light of Christ to the world and I thank you everyday!
Wow. That's WAAAAY better than liking my living room.
Thank you so much, sweet Kim for sending an email that
made me get a little teary! They were good tears.
If you haven't visited Kim, you should. She's not only
encouraging, she's talented, creative and she
thinks outside the box for sure!
So, Illuminating Blogger awards are hosted by
Food Stories
and can be given for pretty much any reason
you think someone deserves an award.
I'm supposed to share one random thing about myself...
Hmmm. Pretty much everything about me is random.
OK - I can wiggle my ears! No, that's boring.
I love everything except liver and canned spinach.
Still boring. Sorry. But enough about me!
Visit Kim and Food Stories for the low down,
and see Kim's amazing new drop leaf copper leaf table!
I'm going to nominate 5 well-deserving blog friends -
and some of the kindest, most encouraging,
most versatile, honest and talented bloggers in
the whole blogiverse!
Marsha at Marsha's Creekside Creations
Lisa at Outjunking
Liz at ImageRemix/Quirky Vistas
Pat at Corn in My Coffee Pot
Anne at White Lace Cottage
Now for the experiment...
I started painting again.
No, not another chair or table...
the COUCH.
Here's how it's looking so far.
The jury is still out as to whether it
will work or whether I'm just painting
pattern pieces for drop cloths!
Not really liking the way the cording looks painted so far...
I figured it was worth a try. This is just one coat. I'll keep you posted!
This is what I'm using...
Word for the Day:
Esther 7:8
And the king returned from the palace garden
And the king returned from the palace garden
to the place where they were drinking wine,
as Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was.
And the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in my presence,
in my own house?” As the word left the mouth of the king,
they covered Haman's face.
