Whatever! Wednesday
April 16th, 2008
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy —think about such things. ~ Philippians 4:8
It’s been a rough couple of days around here. My computer crashed on Monday in the middle of finalizing my taxes…I’m on a loaner that will just up and re-boot at anytime (like when you just about to hit PUBLISH on a new blog post). I’m still trying to get my blog lined out after an upgrade last week. I have no fewer than 12 loads of laundry waiting. And, I’m cooking dinner tonight for 145 people…But, hey! I woke up this morning with Fresh Wind and a Word delivered straight to me via my friend Julie Campbell. And I thought, the taxes got done, the sun is shining and I stamped last night. It’s all good! I always seem to get the push I need, when I need it. So, I’m grateful today for Julie’s encouragement to re-focus: Whatever!
- Stamps: Primitive Beginnings - Rummage Bin, Pretty Pattern Backgrounder & Mona Lisa Moments sentiment
- Cardstock: Mellow - Basic Grey, Suede Dark Brown Light, Suede Dark Brown & Cryogen White
- Ink: Red Pepper Adirondack & Espresso Adirondack
- Accs: Nestabilities by Spellbinders, Copic Markers, Buttons by Foof-a-la, sewing machine.
Oh by the way - dinner is roasted pork loin, corn casserole, green beans with bacon, vegetable tray with the real buttermilk ranch dressing, roll and Oreo dessert. See you at 5:30

I needed to hear that message today. Whatever! indeed!
HUGS - and what a beautiful card. I love what I’ve seen of Lisa’s new set. Especially this - it’s one of my favorite Frost poems!

Forget Weightwatchers, baby! I’m comin’ to your house!
I’ll be in prayer for your stress! I know how it can seem to all pile up at once. Hey, you did get some stamping done, and it’s wonderful stamping at that!

I will fit in nicely with 144 OTHERS! OOOh, what is your recipe for green beens with bacon? Sounds delicious!
I hope all goes well and you can begin to relax again soon.

My kids want to know if you can feed six more. I am not sure how far away you are from Saint Joseph but my DD would love to visit. Love your blog even though I am a stalker. You are truly an amazing woman. Tonya

Lori, hey girl! You’re tempting me to buy some non-SU stamps and I’m not sure I should be doing that!! I really think I need to look at those Rummage Bin ones and I already have that Mellow paper, and I NEED that backgrounder. Harumph! Grin! Glad you were able to have a good attitude about all the stressful stuff! And thanks for sharing that - AND thanks for sharing your faith. You’re an inspiration and great witness for our Lord!!

I wish I would have been there on Wednesday instead of hanging out in my bathroom with my porcelain friend. Ah, but YOU are Wonder Woman in my opinion. I wish I had half of your energy most days! You inspire me, friend!

OK—I’m really behind on my blog reading–but I LOVE this post—the whole thing! The card, the verse, the transparency—and bummer, I missed dinner—I’m sure it was FAB!

Beautiful card! And I agree with you, it’s funny how sometimes we are down and all of a sudden comes a little wind for our sail in an unexpected way!
