TGIF


Phew, what a LONG and busy week this has been!

Today I'm really excited to be featured by Kristin at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia. I've been reading lots of decorating and mom blogs these days, and this is one of my favorites. Kristin has an amazing home, and a wonderful style. Her kitchen will be featured in an upcoming issue of Better Homes and Gardens!

Every Friday is "Feature Friday" on Kristin's blog. She shares a before and after project from one of her readers...and mine is featured today. Take a click over and check it out.


I'll leave you with a teaser of why I've been missing in blogland this week. I've been buried in a huge project....a few large paintings for church. I'm hoping to finish and hang the pieces on Saturday.


The kids started Spring break yesterday, and I'm looking forward to a week of fun and exploring in L.A. No trip to California in the works....L.A. is "the Local Area!" We're lucky to be near a metra train, and an hour from downtown Chicago.Enjoy your weekend!

I think it's finally time to put the skis away....Happy Spring!

  7. I am following you now and I really like your idea to put that door sideways! But boy I really think it is so cute, how come it could not have been the front door? Is it broken?

    Good luck on all your up coming hunting adventures, I hope you find some really fantastic things! It is so much fun!

    visit me at my house
    warmly Melissa

  13. From Katie (gotta change that name on email)
    Woo hoo featured! I LOVE the picture of your hymnal here... I miss going to church with family and hearing dad and mom's voice radiate throughout the church. I had a dream about a year ago that our whole family was up at BCC doing some special music--this was one of those dreams I stayed in bed for longer in hopes it would continue.
