The CoB Continues and Requests of Hostesses

[Amanda N. Parmley]

Hi ladies!!

We've had several new people join the list recently, and I want to welcome each of you you to the Carnival of Beauty!! 

I also encourage you to join us and post with us in the coming weeks.  The Carnival of Beauty has been such a blessing in my blogging-life.  I've met lots of great women through it and have also been both challenged and encouraged in my faith.  And, some of my favorite posts on my own blog belong to the CoB as well.

This summer was a whirl wind for me--family coming to stay with me for a few weeks, moving to a new city and changing jobs, you know stuff like that.  So, I apologize for my part in being negligent of the CoB and not participating as much as I would have liked to this summer.  Please forgive me.  But, now school is in session, and the dust is literally settling in my apartment, and I am ready and able to give the CoB a little more attention. 

So, will you join me in reflecting on the beauty of Christ in the world around us?  If you are new, click here for more info on how to participate as either a blogger or hostess.  Please don't let the rules intimidate you--I know they did me when I first started.  We really do welcome you to be a apart of us!

Now, onto hosting and our topics to finish the year out!

I did something a little different with the topics this time. . . I like the challenge of finding beauty in the everyday topics, but as I've been praying about the CoB this week, I think this two-month theme for October and November is the way to go for right now.

So, are there any volunteers for hosting the following topics?

Oct 5: The Beauty of Love (I will host this week)
Oct 12: The Beauty of Joy
Oct 19: The Beauty of Peace
Oct 26: The Beauty of Patience

Nov 2: The Beauty of Kindness
Nov 9: The Beauty of Goodness
Nov 16: The Beauty of Faithfulness
Nov 23: The Beauty of Gentleness
Nov 30: The Beauty of Self-Control

Dec 7: The Beauty of Praise
Dec 14: The Beauty of Tradition
Dec 21: CoB Takes a break
Dec 28: The Beauty of This Year

I will be out of town this weekend, and then have an out-of-country guest for the first part of next week.  So, expect a reply late next week in regards to the hosting requests.  Thanks for understanding!!  Requests can be made by email (to me) or in the comments on this post on my blo g.

in joy,
amanda :)
