Better late than never...

Ultimate Blog Party 2008


Thanks for stopping by my bloggy corner! May you feel a warm welcome and stay awhile! By now, the bloggy party has been in going strong, even though I'm just hopping onto the scene. Then again, that's my real life hospitality style -- invite everyone, more than you can fit in your home, and do it all last minute. Pre-planned events usually send me into a tizzy about house cleaning and food prep. I'd rather just have you show up at the door and make yourself at home!

My main home in the bloggy world is right here at Extravagant Grace. It has become a special place for me to share about how God's grace continues to mark my life and also transform the lives of those around me. Occasionally, I'll write about my experiences as a wife and mom (four under the age of 8, including twins), but I most often share about what God is teaching me through the study of His Word and the application in life. I also have another blog, Refresh, which offers teens through college age girls soul refreshment. And most recently I've launched Designs by Elisa: Expect the Unexpected, which has been a wonderful blessing and fantastic experience working with other bloggers to brighten up their bloggy homes!

I spent a little bit thinking about what I could give you, as I LOVE giving gifts. I wanted to pick something that would be meaningful and able to offer to everyone. One thing many of my bloggy friends have enjoyed is my Live, Love, Laugh graphic, so I thought that may be just what y'all need to perk up your days -- a reminder to Live, Love, and Laugh. Please accept this simple graphic as my gift to you, and prayer that it would remind you to look heavenward and thank God for the opportunity to live, love, and laugh everyday!

There are also three different verses to go along with this theme at this post.
Feel free to copy those graphics, if you would like them, too.

Thanks so much for stopping by Extravagant Grace. I hope you enjoyed your visit and come back again real soon!

Blessings, extravagantly,
Elisa
