As I wander around this house with notebook in hand, I have to remind myself to also give a nod to what is RIGHT about my house, instead of a total focus on just what I have to FIX. So, I want to sprinkle in some tips and tricks that serve me well.I am not […]
A Punch List. It Begins
Rare Snow Day in Atlanta, GA in 2008 I cannot believe this is the only shot I could find of the house in my many folders of pics! No. It is not snowing at this moment, here. Yes. It really does snow in Atlanta, but only every few years or so. You know why I […]
New Year New Fixing House to Sell
2013 Fresh Start Since my mantra has always been, “Dedicated to all that’s Creative” my world can get a bit cluttered with possibility, in my house AND in my mind! 2013 is here. While I constantly work on clutter control, these next few months will be tackled with extra zeal. All of the younger bloggers […]
All That’s MY Halloween
Halloween. Fall. Orange. Oh, how I love all that is Halloween and beyond (like Thanksgiving.) The mantle is my own little space to nod to the seasons. Black and Orange Sparkle Tulle I will only have to remove it, along with the rats, for Thanksgiving! Okay. I have to remove the banner and the Spooky, […]
Oh, Fall!
Fall is in the air, finally, in and around Atlanta, GA.Do I love it so because it signals the end of extreme heat? Do I love it because of the orange colors that begin to flutter all around me? Yep. I am a lover of all that is orange. Do I love the lack of […]

Stairway: From Pink to Painted
Do you know how looooong I have wanted the PINK carpet removed from the basement stairs?Yeah, that long. Why do we only start doing when there is a possibility of a move? We are then “doing” for someone else to enjoy?! Finally, we are “doing” for us…okay, and for a pending “SALE” sign in the […]
Field Trip! From Bras to Nail Files at the Original Sewing & Quilt Expo
In Atlanta, GA, today (Thursday) Friday and Saturday. I wandered as I wanted, and enjoyed the eye candy of all that is sewing and quilting related. Well, not ALL related to just that. I saw products for droopy boobs (yep, really) and files for your fingernails, all blinged up in such pretty colors! Oh gosh, […]
Rainy Day Whites
What to do on a rainy, dark day. Um, I’m supposed to take beautiful, light-filled photos of something WHITE, for Kim Klassen’s Texture Challenge. No sunlight in my world today. Okay, there was sun earlier, but the moment didn’t hit me until it was dark and dreary. I love dark and dreary. My fave kind […]
Roses Not Red
I love roses, just not a huge fan of the red ones. Whenever I have the chance to gather some, whether it be from the store, or from the garden, I feel a little bit special. They quiet me. They make me appreciate my life. They remind me of the random beauty in life. Love […]
