TRUST YOUR CRAZY IDEAS...FEBRUARY'S CALENDAR QUIP...

Some ideas sound logical right from the start. The wheel and fire were obviously great concepts from the get-go. But I wonder who first watched a chicken lay an egg and said, "Hey, let's eat that!" Yuck! That was probably met with some skepticism. At the time, no one had visions of fluffy chiffons, lofty meringues, yummy omelets, or delicate souffles. New ideas always encounter criticism and opposition. But remember, all great ideas started in somebody's basement with one man or woman with a vision. The key is to believe in yourself and persevere. So trust your crazy ideas. They could change the world!

MY NEW PROJECT...

Several months ago I found these great down-filled pillows at an estate sale...$1.00 a piece...had them dry cleaned and they are great, but are a little too white/cream and don't match the sofa...

Voila! I found some great real linen and I'm going to make a transformation...I can picture buttons, maybe some stenciling, piping...mmm...

This one is my inspiration....I'll post the finished project...

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU HANDLE PLAN B...

I love my new wall calendar for the year...this was the snipet for January...

Plan A is always my first choice. You know, the one where everything works out to be "happily ever after." But more often than not, I find myself dealing with the upside-down, inside-out version where nothing goes as it should. It's at this point the real test of my character comes in...Do I sink or do I swim? Do I wallow in self-pity and play the victim or simply shift gears and make the best of the sitation? The choice is mine. After all...life is all about how you handle Plan B...

Just a thought...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

So much time decorating for the holidays...then to take it all down...I'm not ready!!

We had a great time snowshoeing at White Pass...it was beautiful...and one of the reasons why we love Washington State.

DISNEY WORLD ROCKS!

We had such a great time on our trip to Disney World! There is so much to see and do! Here are a few of the pictures we took. We arrived home Saturday sans our luggage. It ended up somewhere in-between here and Chicago! I have lots more pictures, but my camera is in my lost luggage somewhere. Hopefully, we will get our bags tomorrow!
