SAYING GOOD-BYE IS NEVER EASY!!!

Our much loved furbaby Sandy crossed over the rainbow bridge today, once again he is healthy and happy. He was the most devoted, gentle, caring furbaby that ever came into our lives. He was 14 years old and became ours 13 years ago, he gave us the best 13 years anyone could ask for. Our hearts are breaking and we miss him dearly and only time can heal us.

Sandy we love you with all our hearts and thank you for the joy you have given us for so many years, we will miss your pit pattering around the house and dragging a sock to the door when you wanted out, I will even miss hiding the garbage when we go out and I will ecspecially miss you sleeping at my feet or beside my chair and always listening to my ramblings when it was just you and I home. Tears will become less but you will live forever in our hearts.

good night my sweetness!!!!

hugs

Another Christmas Is Upon Us!!!

"OUR 2009 CHRISTMAS TREE"


PICTURES OF THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS
HUBBY GAVE ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY

Wow, how the years seem to fly by so quickly, it seems like you just pack away the christmas decor and its time to pull it out again. I have been a really bad blogger lately, so i figured it was time to make a post. I do try to stop in and read once and while, but always seems i'm on the run and never get back to leave a comment. Our oldest daughter was home from college last weekend to celebrate my birthday and decorate the christmas tree, its been a tradition for years. I would say they did a pretty good job. I remember the days when the girls would decorate the tree and all the ornaments were in clusters and mom would rearrange after they were fast asleep. I haven't been doing much in the way of home decor, but im sure the bug will bite after xmas. I do have a painting project, the cabinet that the christmas display is sitting on in my header is getting painted. I hope everyone is doing well.

BORING BUILDER BATHROOM....

We must be frugal these days, but I so desperately want to add just a drop of personality to this very boring builder bathroom. So far I have found this shower curtain, call me crazy, but I LOVE IT!!! the plum purple drumstool was also purchased at the end of the summer clearance. Just thought I would share the beginning of this little mini makeover. Happy Decorating!!!

They Never Out Grow Halloween

As i have mentioned before our three girls are teens, ages 16,17 and 18 and they never seem to outgrow the fun of dressing up for halloween, decorating or carving pumpkins and oh of course roasting the pumpkin seeds. This SPOOKTACULAR show is compliments of our three girls and a boyfriend. I would say they have put together a great scene for all the little trick or treaters tomorrow night. I hope you all have a fun, safe happy halloween.

" THE COLOR GREEN"

I realize that we all have our favorite color, and green happens to be mine. I don't use alot of color in our home but have found my comfort zone with the fresh greens. These pictures are courtesy of Sarah Richardson, whom happens to be one of my favorite designers. Even though the green is used in a subtle way it still makes me feel happy.

HAPPY FALL AND THANKSGIVING

Tomorrow us Canadians celebrate our thanksgiving, we certainly have so much to be thankful for. From our home to yours I wish you all a great Thanksgiving Day! It has been forever since I have blogged, but once in a while I stop by for a moment and catch up on a bit of reading on all you wonderful bloggers. I really have'nt had much to share these days, at least not in the decor world. We all know how the economy is these days and with oldest daughter in college, my shopping and home decor just needs to take a back burner for a bit. I had considered closing down my blog, but that would mean not reading all the great blogs I follow and all the wonderful inspiration that I have so enjoyed. Thinking of you all and keep up the great blogging!
