I’m so excited to show you our new master closet. But before I do, a little reminiscing. Here’s the before. Very disorganized and cluttered. I hated walking into it every day.

MY FALL DECORATIONS
I’m finding it hard to get in the autumn mood when it’s still in the 90’s here in NC. But, I had some free time now that Daughter #2 tracked back in to school (I still miss our days together :(), so I spent a day adding some pretty fall displays around the house. […]
OUR WEDDING VOW RENEWAL ~ and 30 years of wedded bliss
Just recently I wrote a post about being married for thirty years and some advice about what I think has helped us survive thirty years. I also shared a project that I did specifically for our trip to the beach where we renewed our wedding vows. We just came back from a trip to the NC beach […]
AN ORGANIZED CLOSET ~ trapped in the house
In January, NC was bombarded with about 2 inches of snow. (insert sarcastic snicker) Believe it or not, we were stuck in the house for a few days. The two inches of snow came Saturday morning. So we took a walk in the new beautiful white stuff and froze our little butts off. Church was […]

A CHRISTMAS TREE ~ memories on every branch
We just put up our Christmas tree. As I sit staring at all the lights and each ornament, memories just race through my mind. I grew up with a faux silver Christmas tree and a spinning light sitting on the floor shining onto the tree to change the color of said tree from red to blue […]
HOBBY LOBBY TRIP ~ exactly one year later!
Hey Sweet Friends! Yesterday, I took a trip to Hobby Lobby with my dear friend Mrs. H. She’s the one who has the gift of shopping and numbers. She knows how much everything costs everywhere. I don’t know how she does it but when I want to buy something she can tell me if it’s […]
