From an email I received awhile ago titled Lemonade Just thought I'd share it today. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. A smile from you can...
I never get these things right ... until now! From the very first episode of this season's Design Star on HGTV, Emily Henderson was my favorite. I actually felt kind of bad that she was my favorite figuring that because of that there was no way she would win. I liked that she was quirky and eclectic and she has such a fun...

I know I mentioned that my frames are up. One little problem ... we have been busy around here so they still need to be filled. That's my progress.

She truly has become one of my very best friends. She has all of the qualities you would want in a friend. She is kind, fun, funny, genuine, helpful, supportive and...
I'm throwing a little get together tomorrow for one of my very sweet friends. I'll share more details soon. For now the napkins rings have been made, the cupcakes are in the oven, and a little decorating is complete! Now I'm off to vacuum. Hope you have a great night! ...
This weekend I've used levels, stud finders, drills, screwdrivers, hammers, measuring tape, wall anchors, nails, screws! This is part of what you see as you step in our front door. You also get a good view of the dining room and kitchen. Our house has a really open floor plan and is actually set up a bit backwards. This staircase leads to...

I must confess I've been a bit more than lucky lately. I want to take the time today to officially say thank you - to introduce you to blogs that I so enjoy - and to share photo's of my winnings with you!
