Unveiling color...


Here's a sneak peak of our new color in the Living/Dining/Hall.

The furniture and books don't actually go together, I was just playing and decided to take pictures. I'm trying to figure out how to make the little table work as you come in the front door, but it's just too short.

Anyone selling an antique desk? Guess we'll be hitting the antique auctions and stores now, looking for a tall desk.

...wish will come true.


Don't you love to open up your fortune cookie at the end of a great meal and find a message written to you?

I think I've been blessed with great messages, I really don't remember ever having one that didn't feel like a message directly to me. LOL

I tape them into my address book so I will always have them...
