I wasn’t planning to get a pumpkin this year, but when I saw them at Easy-Way, I couldn’t resist! For the design, I just found a “B” font I liked, freehanded it onto the pumpkin with a Sharpie, and outlined the B with black puffy paint for extra emphasis. I love how it turned out and it makes me happy to look at it. :) At first I was afraid to put it outside lest someone smash it, but it’s unscathed so far.
For your Friday, here’s some random linkage (some of these are kind of old):
♥ Six awesome local Halloween costume ideas at I Love Memphis. Also: 10 Memphis locations for great photo shoots.
♥ A very honest, well-written post on men, women, and ministry from my friend Becca. I’m still figuring out what I believe about a lot of gender issues in the church, and I thought this was great.
♥ Some reflections on the Grizzlies’ playoff run at Memphis Connect.
♥ Great thoughts on Sufficient Grace, from C Jane.
♥ In Defense of the Romance Novel, from Emily.
♥ Build a bench, not a platform, from Chatting at the Sky.
♥ A beautiful tribute to a great dad. Prepare to shed tears and be inspired.
♥ How Tina Fey helped me love my body, by Jonalyn Fincher. (This reminds me that I still need to read Bossypants.)
♥ Support for broken hearts from the awesome Sparkle Solo. Also: Being Enough, and Kissing (or lack thereof).
♥ For fellow Veronica Mars fans: Notes on a Veronica Mars Rewatching from Diana Peterfreund.
Thanks for the VM link! I have to agree with all Peterfreund says! What a great idea to take notes like that.. I always have plenty of thoughts on these things. :P I guess I do write about them sometimes.
