I have been loving my special space for months now. Choosing all the special things to embellish my room has been a slow work in progress. Here is where I am today. I just added this ghost chair and the shuttered mirror. The hunt for a mirror has been on for months. This one was on the clearance aisle this week and I was thrilled! The flower swag is staying in some form but I'm not loving it the way it is. Ghost chair, because it's functional, visually minimal,  and kinda cool.   Sewing corner!! My little lap quilt is finally bound and has little loops to hang it with. For now, it will live on my wall. I want to hand quilt it so I take it down and work on it and put it back up. :) I have a quilt update too, look under the Create and Craft tab at the top.

If you were to look in on us you would see the lines are drawn boys vs. girls. My oldest has been doing the best, as she cut out all meat, sodas, and most processed foods. She loves seafood and vegetables. My other daughter is also a very healthy and wise eater, and more disciplined about exercise.  The whole family has been trying to get this one area right be...

It is the end of the year and time to take inventory. I'm doing this literally and figuratively for the next few days. Not because it's the end of the year (though that works too), but because I have some free time and can really focus on it!  First step is some easy stuff. Oil Inventory - I get loads of free oils and supplements from Young Living. I am working on a spread sheet of my excess so I can order efficiently .  This will also help when a friend calls and asks if I have an extra oil they are desperate for.  Oils in use.                                                              My extras!                                                      ...
