The Saturday Six

Shut. The. Front. Door. I was blog hopping on my sick day this week and happened upon Jenna's list of four hundred and fifty stocking stuffer ideas. I think I'm going to just skip presents and stuff stockings ENTIRELY this year. How cool is this? She's done all the hard work!

I follow Sandi Patty on Twitter and this week, she posted this vintage video of hers. Oh my word. Welcome back to my childhood!! I memorized every one of her songs and sang them with much passion. {Yeah. I couldn't sing then either.} This was one of my faves. Sandi tends to wear fewer sequins these days and her hair isn't quite as fluffy {mine either!} but this song is still amazing.

Lynne interviewed Kyle Garberson from MudLOVE this week...and I gotta tell you. I think their products are pretty cool. I have one of their old-style mugs that Lynne placed on my desk as a gift when I first started working at WBCL. But they make these really cool bands too - with inspirational words on them. {You can even choose your own word!} 20% of their proceeds help bring clean water to Africa, so you can get great stuff and support a great cause all at once!

Oh my goodness. Sort of completely in love with this party Mandy over at Biblical Homemaking had. A painting party at her house for a bunch of her friends. I know it's trendy to go to painting places {and I won't lie - that sounds fun to me, too!!} but this looks like such a fun at-home alternative. And no. I can't paint.

Susan, Susan, Susan. Dear, dear Susan from Between Naps on the Porch. You've done it again. BRILLIANT, subtle fall decorating that makes me want to hop in my car and come visit you. Like right now. It shall now be all I can do to be...ahem...good...when I go to the Hobby Lobby. To NOT buy one of each of the lovelies on your porch. Sigh of joy.

Be still, my beating heart. My inner wannabe decorator cant' catch her breath. LOOK AT THIS. The office reveal from over at Thistlewood Farms.  I want to move in. And have KariAnne come teach me how to decorate. And really just kind of be her neighbor because she seems like a kindred spirit. Oh the books I could write in this inspired space....

Thankfulness, Day 9: It's great when God brings new people into our lives...new gifts to be enjoyed! But it's an equally amazing gift to have someone stay in your life from the beginning and continue to be as invested in you now as they were then. Who has been there from day one? Say thanks for that lifelong commitment!
