Here’s What’s Inspiring Me…

Hope Was Born In A Cave
Donna – Holimess

Donna - Holimess - I Wear Pink

For the month of October,
Donna at Holimess has been writing a 31-day series called
I Wear Pink, in which she chronicles her battle with breast cancer.

I was particularly moved by Day 18,
Hope Was Born In A Cave,
Which transcends personal experience and
Offers words of encouragment to each of us,
No matter our need.

If you could use a word of hope this week,
Be sure to visit Donna and be blessed!

Inspire Me Monday

I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
Judy Palmer

    Hi again – although it is already Tuesday ;o) I just couldn’t resist sharing my pretty little pumpkins that I made this weekend. These were so fun and easy, especially since I already had several small pumpkins on the porch, and tons of sweater fabric scraps in my sewing room, and the girls just love them! I’ll probably make more next year, using “pretend” pumpkins, but no time to go to the craft store around here this week – so we just used what we had already on hand.

    I’m going to try to get my Wordless Wednesday post up tonight, as well, so I’ll link up to that, too. The last week of the month is always busy for me, as I am finishing up the magazine, but I love joining in the blog hop! I’ll be back again soon, Nina
