While I’m out taking a break and healing from surgery, some of my favorite bloggers and bestest of friends have kindly agreed to help out with an LCMF blog series:

This series will hopefully answer some of your most frequently asked questions about “what can I do?” for someone who might be needing your help or support.

————————————————————————————————————————–

So happy that Lara asked me to be part of her “Do Unto Others” series. I told her I can’t say “no” to her for some reason and not to ask me for a million dollars or I’d be in big trouble.

How could I pass up a series about making others feel better and serving them? No way.

I was thinking about sharing a “get well” project or card.

Then I thought, maybe I’ll do a sympathy gift idea or something.

Nah, I wasn’t feelin’ it even though they are great topics.

Then, I remembered how this talk had a big affect on me. The message I got from it? “Look up” to God when times are tough, hold your head up high and “look up” with confidence, encourage and help others to “look up”, and when we “look up” we don’t have to go through rough times alone.

I decided to create this “When things look down…look up.” printable with you today.

You can make a card or tag out of it (in above pics).

I made this “look up” card for my wonderful grandmother with a coordinating envelope…she’s having a tough time right now dealing with her brother’s death. My heart goes out to her…

…and who doesn’t love cupcakes right? I cut out the “look up” arrows as cupcake toppers to give her, too!

Lara, I hope during these difficult times you can “look up” and know that we are all cheering you on and that you are in our prayers! Love you.

Thank you so much for coming Kari! You know, the art of a written note of encouragement is a LOST ART. It’s so very sad that we don’t do that anymore. In fact, I recently found a hand-written note from my Grandma. And I remembered how much notes like that mean to me. Great reminder Kari.

Please visit Kari at her amazing blog: UCreate. (One more favor Kari…a million dollars. Just kidding.)

Lara,
Thank you for inviting me!
I had so much fun making this printable series using my obsession with arrows and this amazing talk. My sister in law is printing it out and stitching it as a gift for a friend.

I truly hope things “look up” for you ASAP Lara…and as soon as I have a million dollars to give you it’s yours! (LOL)
