Grey Days to Glimmering {Blog Party & Giveaway}

Because I'm definitely feeling uninspired post-wise these days...


1| What's your favorite thing to do when you've been feeling uninspired?  Take a walk and bring the camera along.  Or browse through my Pinterest boards.


2| Tell us about a really great movie/show that you've just discovered.  Ramona and Beezus {rated G} - super, super cute family film based on the books by Beverly Cleary.  I grew up reading those books and I love this film!  Also, for my adult readers, Just Like Heaven {rated PG-13} - laugh out loud hilarious, but also a real tear-jerker.  Totally loved this romantic comedy.  Be advised, some content is definitely inappropriate for my younger readers.

3| What do you like to do to change your mood?  Go for a walk, read my Bible, or talk to my bestie on the phone. :)
4| Your favorite drink is currently...  Chocolate Caramel Enchantment tea with honey in it. Yummy!



5| When you hear the word exuberant, what's the first word that comes to mind?  Fun.

6| What made you smile last?  A voicemail message on my cellphone. :)


7| What five songs would make a playlist to describe your week?  Oh, goodness...questions like this always throw me.  I guess pretty much anything from Point of Grace's early albums - Life, Love, & Other Mysteries, Free to Fly, Steady On, etc.  Just happy, uplifting, Christ honoring, contemporary music.

8| What's at the top of your creative 'To-Do' list?  Patch the sweater my dog chewed on so it is once more wearable.  That was about 5 years ago when she was still a puppy. :)

9| The last thing you crossed off the above list was... More laptop sleeves for my shop.

10| Quickly - the first movie quote from the top of your head, please!  "Badges? We don't got no badges. We don't need no stinkin' badges!" - Treasure of the Sierra Madre...and no, I have not watched that recently.  It just popped into my head.

11| The best thing about January is... Cross country skiing with friends!

12| The worst thing about January is... Cabin Fever, also known as The Winter Blahs, at least in our house.

13| What's your #1 resolution for 2013?  I didn't really make any resolutions this year.  But I would very much like to finally finish reading through the Old Testament.  I keep getting stuck. *sheepish smile*

14| And lastly, share a quote or verse that you've found especially inspiring lately.   Because I'm the queen of always sharing more than is asked for, I have two inspiring quotes. ;)

Thanks for organizing a bit of fun during this drab month, Kellie!
Hop over to Kellie's blog to check out the giveaway!

Happy Trails, everyone!

  1. That was a nice read! And funnily enough, my quote is also from a film I have not seen in a long time...
    I guess Winter Blahs are equal to what a certain Czech writer of children's/young adult books called "Christmas mood". Which was an ironic expression, of course.
    Lewis is always inspiring.

  2. Mmmm...that tea sounds yummy! :-D

    Those two quotes are great--they really make you think. The "Happiness" one is a good reminder, whereas the C.S. Lewis one is really sobering. Wow. Thanks for sharing! This was fun!

    God bless,

  4. It's always nice to meet another Whovian fan :) Followed over from Kellie's blog party. :) "Just Like Heaven" is one of my fav's and Mark Ruffalo is quite lovely in that flick *sighh :) I love that pic of you and your friends skiing--it's LOVELY and you all look like you had so much fun :) The quote by Lewis--WOW, it is awe-inspiring how he conveyed truth in his writing. I'm saving that one.

    It was fun reading! Happy weekend!
    Blessings,
    Jeanine

  5. This tag was fun - I did it too because I have been feeling strange lately. Melancholy.

    Great answers - The world is wonderful really. Sometimes it is hard to remember this.

    God Bless!!!
