i have too much to do before tomorrow.
when i am stressed about getting stuff done….my natural instinct is…..to do something unrelated.
like sew four pillows for my couch.
i just HAD too.
is that circley colorful fabric not THE most amazing?!! i bought a ton of it because i love it so much!
(it's by alexander henry…it's called Boule.)
i have issues.
i am sure it has a name and a therapist or a doctor could talk to me about it….prescribe me something perhaps?
so many things to get done but instead i take pictures of my coffee cup.
isn't it fun?
so graphic.
instead of using my time while annie is playing….i stop and take pictures of her playing!
this is definitely a problem.
just a quick lamp makeover with spray paint and a vintage tablecloth and hot glue.
you know….cause i don't have a page long to-do list.
oh wait….i DO!
I.S.S.U.E.S.
ok….i have to get stuff done today.
things like……pack for my trip.
feed my family.
clothe my family.
clean my home.
make cupcakes.
put clothes away.
make arrangements.
fill in schedules.
make phone calls.
watch parenthood.
sew four more pillows…..just kidding.
if you have emailed me….i hope to get back to you.
i am super behind on email response.
because i am very busy.
(taking pictures of oranges)
bye.
Lisa Palmese - Love the Pillows But I adore that lamp.
It is Gorgeous
thanks Lisa
Luciane - Hi Karin,I wish I could splurge on cutosm Alluminaire lighting and matching throw pillows (which I love)! I happen to have a “Heartfelt Award” for you at my blog, since you were one of the blogs that inspired me to start my own. You can pick it up .
Shahd - Oh wow, that would be awesome if you were on the hunt for sotnehimg you’ve already got pictured in your mind.But then again, this is why I wouldn’t want a custom house built. What if they build/make it EXACTLY like I asked and then I hate it?! Ack. I am much better at tweaking and remodeling. :)Can’t wait to see what you come up with though!

I have some hard disk errors on a laptop I’m fixing for a friend. There were probably viruses that removed important system and boot files. I tried the Windows XP recovery CD but it didn’t work. I’m now running a program called HDAT2 to check and repair bad sectors. However, if I decided to use their option of “wiping hard drive/disk”, does the hard drive become useless? Or can I still install Windows on it using an ISO CD? unlock iphone 4

andiejaye - i love love love the idea of arranging books by color!!! i tried it and loved it!!! thanks for sharing the idea with us! i put 4 links of your picture and blog on my blog post about it. (it’s little i have 8 followers) i hope that’s ok. if not, let me know and i’ll remove them. i just think you’re fabulous! blessings, andie
Lisa Currie-Gurney - I TEND TO DO THE SAME THING… I’VE REALIZED IT HELPS ME TO FOCUS ON WHAT I NEEDED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE.
HUGS FROM MY HEART
Sarah - I am also a crazy color junkie and I love love love those color-coordinated kids books!
Heather aka moreygirl - I’m the same way about not doing what’s on my list and sewing something fun instead! Love this blog!
Kristin S - Annie’s facial expressions are absolutely classic. You’ll be so glad someday when that sweet baby face morphs to teenager that you have so many great photos.
Lolli - wait, can you paint brass?
amy jupin - the lamps look FAB.
all capitals.
the pillows are so you.
love them.
i suffer from the same problem–procrastination!
hate it.
one more thing, i hope you have a great time on your trip!
🙂
Lorie S. - You seriously just made me laugh out loud. Such is my day, everyday. The list of things I need to do and the list of things that I want to do. Feel so much better on the days that I do the things I want to do. So since today is a rainy day, I think I will read, sew, play, and make cupcakes!!! =)
Kat - Meg, you are SOOOO inspiring! Thank you! LOVE the lamp and the pillows. Okay, i am a beginning sew-er, seamstress, whatever…i know this is a DUMB question. But would you mind telling me…do you use pillow inserts for your pillows, or just stuffing?
Would you mind telling me what size you make them (20×20?)…i love the size of yours? I am DYING to sew but FEAR is overwhelming me…fear of messing up. But you have inspired me. Thank you! 🙂
Katie - I would buy a print copy of the orange photo! Just saying!
Corinne - Love the pillows, love your blog, love your spirit.
I was on another site http://www.designmom.com/
and saw these http://www.designmom.com/2011/02/a-few-things-51/
and thought of you…thought you might enjoy.
Have a great day!
Leah - Those are great photos. I don’t think you’re wasting any time. By the way, do you really arrange your books in the order of rainbow colors? I’m impressed!
Katy Frame - Because I am very busy.
(Taking pictures of oranges)
LOL! You are hilarious, Meg! 🙂 I hope you have a fun time on your trip! You so deserve it. And for me complimenting you I deserve a cupcake, right?? It was worth a shot! But seriously, have fun!
Crystal Swoverland - I can’t find Alexander Henry anywhere in my area! I LOVE that fabric! I need some of those pillows, no, not want…NEED!!! I am remodeling and those are my colors!!! HOW can I get this fabric??? THanks for the wonderful post, you always brighten my day!
Flower Patch Farmgirl - 1. Hey – is today Annie’s birthday? 😉
2. Did I miss the part where you told us where on earth you’re headed?
3. I have the very same affliction.
4. Must know how you did that tablecloth lampshade thing. I’m way impressed.
Tracy Fisher - fabulous fabric… and great use of time… i think many of us relate… i was outside today taking photos of my kids snowboarding (because it snowed today… and my son insisted on wearing his creapy hat he got in Mexico… that scares the neighborhood little kids)… all the while avoiding the same list as you have apparently.. minus the cupcakes..hehe.
Tracy Fisher
Marcella - I so know the feeling!
And there must be a lot of people like me commenting on this post! Which it is a relief that I’m not the only one out there that operates like this.
I bet it does have something to do with being a creative person….
Nicole - I am the SAME exact way! The longer my list is, the more I can find to do that is NOT on the list it seems. Procrastination is my forte!
And I LOVE your new pillows! Color Color COLOR! Happy 🙂
Good Luck with your list!
Lin - Haha. I feel so much better about myself after reading this post and the comments. I am NOT alone. Yay! I will go so far out of my to avoid “chores” it’s crazy. When I run out of time to get things done, and am tired I tell myself I’ll get up early and do it in the morning. I even go so far as to set my alarm early, but then the snooze button always win.
Lisa - I want one of your pillows! I need someone to teach me to sew. I’m so lame when it comes to that stuff. Love that you were avoiding your long to do list. I do that occasionally too! 🙂
Penny - I am glad Parenthood is on your list. I love that show, I always feel a little let down when it ends though. I also love your blog and get excited when you have a new post. Makes my day! Love the photos. One Easter I was having 25 family members for dinner and I sat down with my girls and colored 2 hours before dinner. It relaxed me and everything turned out fine!
Tanya H - that’s what I’m doing reading your blog right now. Ignoring my enormous list. drat.
jenna - I couldn’t help notice the bicycle runner on the table.
I have to have that fabric! Or I would love a pillow!
Where did you find it?
Jen - You DO have to watch Parenthood! Whew… it’s loaded.
Gretchen DeMoss - You make me smile.
shauna reed - lampshade=ahhhhmazing.
email me if you need anything in socal.
i will be like 45 min away if you need anything 😉
like a bell or some marshmallow milk….whateves
ps i am gonna be shopping with julie while you are soaking up photography brilliance on sat.
if you get mad at the class and ditch (ha ha) you can come with us…..
xoxox
FeFe - I hope you moved watching Parenthood to the top. It was good!
Tanya - I just showed my sister this post and said “See, there ARE people like us”. Then I asked her “And who looks at a white lampshade and SEES THAT final outcome?” To which she responded “I do”. And I said “Oh yah”. It’s me who sucks.
I love your pillows.
Georgia - The first photo makes me so happy, them pillows are so bright and cheery, so summertime! woo love them!! 🙂
When i need to be busy i just cant do it. i read somewhere once that if you dont feel like doing something then DONT, only do it when you feel like it…
Happy middle of the week day!
Kelley - Excellent pillows! They absolutely needed to be made. Needed.
Safe travels tomorrow
Vanessa at He Gives Hope - have you done a post on your coffee table? did you make it? b/c i am in LOVE.
Keli Cook - I love your new pillows and the makeover of your new lamp!
Anna - I love that picture of Annie and the pets. Super cute.
becky@oursweetpeas - Ahh, I think we are long lost sisters. I am blog reading instead of: cleaning my house, unloading the dishwasher, etc., etc., I did take all 3 kids to the dr.’s and McD’s AND library today so I think I’ve earned a little Parenthood on Hulu too. 🙂 Thanks for the idea.
yeah, I have a problem too.
Stefanie Arnold - someday I hope to say I was so distracted because I was sewing new pillows for my couch. Someday… for now, my creativity is confined to drawing stick figures and cutting out snow flakes 🙂
Shana - I have diagnosed you with ‘Procrastination’ – not otherwise specified.
I would give you therapeutic advice but I have blogs to stare at, books to read, and coffee to drink.
Sorry.
Cute mug.
Kari - You are hilarious.
Seriously.
My in-laws are scheduled to be here in less than two hours for the weekend and I have a HUGE list of things to do, girls are both napping soundly… but instead I updated my facebook status (is says: “Please keep me in your thoughts … I have lost my TO DO LIST!”) and decided it was imperative I check your blog before getting back to looking for my to do list.
Michelle - haha, this is awesome. i so feel ya! i have a super long to-do list as well, and i’m sooo procrastinating! you’ve inspired me! maybe i will go take pictures of oranges too! ha! by the way, i LOVE those pillows! where do you get the fabric???
Karina - Lovely lamp, lovely kitchen, lovely bathroom, lovely pictures…
At least you are not eating to make up for the stress…you are taking pictures instead and that HAS to be less fattening than what I usually do when I feel paralyzed by my to-do list…I have been known to eat sweetened condensed milk from the can…and finish the can in one sitting!! Maybe I should buy myself a camera…
julie h - this made me laugh, that is so very much myself…can you explain that i am not the only one that does this to my hub?
Jenny B. - OH WOW!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new couch pillows!!! And the little chairs at the coffee table!? AWESOME!!! Those may have been there the whole time, and I just now noticed them, but still… SO cute! Thank you for helping me get over my fear of decorating my home with primary colors. I’m serious. For the past 11 years, I have looked longingly at deocrative items with lots of bright colors, and thought, “oh, I like that, but it just wouldn’t go in my house.” Now, I have a brightly painted alphabet canvas that was destined to be on the wall of a little boy’s room as the centerpiece on my mantel, and it’s my favorite thing to look at every day. I can’t wait to do more! Whee!! 🙂 You inspire me!
Aimee - Oh my, I think I have the same syndrome. Miles-long to do list = do something nowhere near ANYthing on said list.
I like to call it Head-In-the-Sand-itis.
Kori - apparently your condition is a nation-wide epidemic! i have it too and i’m in washington.
love the pillows (more for the pom-poms than the fabric, although it is great!) and the lamp…too cute!
Dawn - Love the pillows and the prints are awesome. Your rooms are so colorful I love it.
Kirsten P - I love how the aqua in the’circley colorful fabric’ makes the aqua mirror just pop!
I love the children’s books arranged by color!
Parenthood was great last night. And the previews for next week – can’t wait.
Will you get a chance to go to the ocean and listen to the music of the waves? Enjoy it for me, too.(if you do)
Esther Dee - don’t know about your to-do-list but I do know that those pillows are to-die-for!!!! so pretty and happy 😉
Mrs. Wonder - I do the same thing! Therefore, I’m several days behind on my list. LOVE the lamp, marking this for ideas, we’re house hunting and I’m excited to decorate!
wendy, NJ - OMG! I love you! You are so funny and such an inspiration! Whenever I’m feeling a bit blue I look to your blog as I know it will always be colorful (literally) and in content!
And can I just say I love the fact that you are able to leave markers out in an open bin on your white table…My 3 yo would have a field day if I do that!
Thanks again for such inspiration! Keep it coming!
Kara - love it all but especially your lamp makeover! if you are still wanting to put off your to-do list you should post a tutorial 🙂 lamp shades scare me a little bit, yours looks awesome!
Rach - Yeah. I do the same thing. I’ll find myself mid project and be like “how did I get here? wasn’t I supposed to be doing something else. Must stop…. can’t stop.” But hey, life’s short right!
gina f. - fun photos! Now that you have a happy heart i am sure you will fly thru your to do list! love how your books are arranged in rainbow order and the lamp makeover is super!! have a great trip!
Courtney Walsh - Good lord, I am sooo behind too and yet here I sit doing important things like reading blogs!!! lol
I agree with the person above me. soooo many houses are showing a neutral palette these days, but COLOR is soooo inspiring. Love that you arranged your dang books in rainbow form!! lol awesome.
Valerie @ Chateau A La Mode - You are doing NOTHING wrong, but everything RIGHT!
Elizabeth Walters - I LOVE how colorful your house is! I always stick with neutral… b/c I am boring like that. 🙂
Anne @ Baking Me - I love that lamp, very cute. I have issues with lamps. I am always on the hunt for a great lamp at a great price, no such luck yet but I keep trying 🙂
Trina McNeilly - Love this… love all the pictures. The lamp and pillows are fab. sometimes distractions are good 🙂
xo
Jen Brandt - You rock.
jennifer - Oh good! I thought I was the only one with this issue. So glad to know I’m not alone!
Ana - Meg, I can totally relate. I have like 20 things to do and yet I get into a catatonic state of denial hoping they will all go away. However, that strategy never works out… 🙁
Leah - How did you make that lamp shade?!? Please share! It looks amazing!
blu - …or if you are me you are in front of the computer while the laundry, children, dishes, and bathrooms are calling for you 🙂 I’ll get to all of them immediately, just let me post a comment first…Meg you are way cool please keep doing ALL that you do!!
Jocelyn Stott - LOVE the lamp! It looks great!
Jessica Johnson - the colors in this post? FAB to the ULOUS. seriously. the books? arranged by color??! genius.
asnipofgoodness - I soooooo get this, I do the very same exact thing, for some reason the need to get something done, causes me to get other things done….I just don’t get it! I mean I get that you do it, cuz I do too, but I don’t get the why, cuz it just never makes much sense!
I LOVE the pillows, and the lamp, OMGoodness, so extraespecially colorful!I just LOVE the glimpses of your style that turn up on your blog!
I have a HUGE lamp shade that I picked up at restore, and that is just the perfect solution to a less than desirable funky stained cover! Now I need an oversized lamp base to hold it up!
Oh, and I read “your story” just the other day, and I really loved your unapologetic honesty! What a wonderful picture of God’s redemption! Thank you for that!
I almost never comment, but I ALWAYS read, thanks!
Joy - You and I, we were seperated at birth. I call it piddling…and I love that the books on the bookshelf are arranged by color. It made my heart smile.
Lindsey - Alexander Henry has some of the most amazing fabrics ever!
Maeva - Where can I find the bicycle fabric in the last photo?!
Mindy Harris - your pillows and buntings are going to sell out on etsy in 5 seconds. i can’t get anyone to even LOOK at my stuff. hehe. i’m not complaining, i promise. etsy’s FUN! i hope you get everything done you need to. it’s okay to take photo or craft breaks. i do all the time.
and, safe travels!
Andrea - Just read comment above mine. Yea, I was intrigued by the color coordinated bookshelf too. Made me smile – was totally you.
Andrea - LOL!! I do that too. My husband says I only operate on crisis mode! Have many, many projects that need finished – need to set my own deadline.
ajdked - Ehh, I have a huge to do list today. Instead I’m still in my pj’s drinking coffee, blog hopping, totally intrigued by your color coordinated book shelf. I have a pile of laundry looming over me. I think I will stay in my pj’s for a half hour longer, then get moving!
Shannon - it’s okay to waste time taking pictures because we all love coming to your blog to see them so really you are just doing it for us which makes you so thoughtful 🙂
deborah@applesinwonderland - i have no idea what you are talking about here. how can you not make pillows with that kind of *look at me* fabric poking at you? and how can you not take adorable pictures of annie in the tub? i say, you have to do those things. xoxo–a partner in crime:)
Trish - ha 🙂 my list is a mile long too, but here I am reading your blog about the stuff you are doing… i believe we have what is called a mix between procrastination and ADD 🙂
can’t wait to meet you tomorrow 🙂
purejoy - dude. if you have issues, i have I.S.S.U.E.S!!
love the fabric. the cup. love bathtime fun. great coffee mug. love your kid’s books are arranged by color.
you complete me.
lists be damned!
Sara @ Happy Brown House - I just love how bright and happy your house is! I love that you embrace color!
sara @ it's good to be queen - love all these fun pictures. LOVE that lamp!!
Kelly - Did you put the tablecloth over the existing shade? Love the lamp and pillow fabric!
Cory - I have a TON to do today as well. Clearly I’m just reading your blog instead. Thanks for the distraction! Love all your pretty pics 🙂
Jenn Shock - I should be studying for my first Survey of Fashion test that is tonight, yet somehow I ended up here. When I stress about getting something done, I always tend to find something else to do, even if it means cleaning! Weird.
Michelle Whitlow - btw, LOVE the pillows!!
Michelle Whitlow - oh my gosh, I’m the EXACT same way!!! hehe We’re moving from GA to WA in just a couple months. There is SO much around the house to do. Oh, and did I mention that I’m 5 mos pregnant?? Yeah, I have a list a mile long. And what am I doing?? Reading blogs…and maybe I’ll go scrapbook something after that 🙂
Courtney Henson - I have the same affliction! It is hard, very hard for me to do something like clean the house for company or a party when I have a chalkboard wall to paint in my kitchen or pillows to sew for my couch! (All this I did last week getting ready for family to come stay for a few days..!) Oh, how I relate! But I love your pillows and really love, love that lamp makeover! And you rainbow hued kid’s books all organized by color! So, so pretty!
Vicki - Loved this! Those pillows are to-die-for! And your happy, colorful pictures are the best. Good luck with that to-do list!
Molly - I have things to do too….but you know what I am doing tonight…re-arranging the books in the bookshelf so they make a rainbow! Love that!
Jessica - I’m new to your blog… so I’m not really sure of your kids ages but I have a 4 yr old and there is NO way I could have a white table, an white-ish sofa, and a JAR OF MARKERS all within arm distance of each other! How do you keep those from getting marker on them?
I’m asking bc I’m jealous :/
Dana @ Bungalow'56 - Megan,
I am in complete denial…absolute denial, that I will be on a plane tomorrow. Nothing packed, nothing ready. It’s how I deal with stress, ignore the situation. Which of course leads to copious amounts of stress over a very short few hours when I have to do whatever I’ve been putting off.
There will be lot’s of excitement at our house this evening. It makes for an roller coaster life : )
Dana
Amanda - I love how “watch parenthood” is on your to-do list. It’s on mine too!
AshleyAnn - I love that lamp so much!!!
Have fun on your trip…
Carrie - I am like you, except I start the to do list but on the way to the bedroom to put away laundry I stop in the kitchen to put dishes and then end up in the living dusting. So while it may seem productive, everything ends up only half finished. Ugh!
Have fun this weekend. I am JEALOUS!!! (in a nice healthy way though. lol)
Kathi - LOL! This is why I check in everyday, love your attitude! Have a great day.
Keri - If I were to be a stay at home wife and we had our own house, I’m sure I would be the exact same way… Do everything else that is not on the list…Those are great pics though!
Heather - i have that same disorder! and lamp envy. that lamp and lampshade you worked your magic on are a-mazing!
Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - Oh my gosh you’re not the only one! Whenever I have custom orders to get done, I end up “rebelling” and making a different bag for no one in particular. Its almost like I cant do the things I need to until I do something I dont need to. Maybe its something about being creative. Yes, we’ll blame it on that.
BTW, when will your shop open? (No pressure, Im just curious)
XO,
Sarah
Janie Fox - Love your pics … mine are so bad I should just post stick figures with my text. Blathering is my claim to fame. Picture taking I want to learn, but I am too busy talking! Safe travels!! xoxo
Laura Phelps - you need TISSUES for parenthood. I cried for HOURS.
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE this post
the colors
and sunshine
and brightness
and all of it…
it makes me HAPPY
so if you put “make Laure happy” on your list,
it is like you DID do something you were supposed to do
and now, even better, you can cross it off of your list!
see how much you got done today?
happygirl - I LOVE your pictures. PLEASE don’t change. Then your blog will be boring, like mine. (my blog isn’t really boring, I just don’t have all the beautiful pictures) Your children won’t go to college and your daughters will be single the rest of their lives. PLEASE don’t change. I think the circle fabric is GORGEOUS. Have a GREAT trip.
candace - watch parenthood first. and don’t stop taking pictures – looking at them is MY distraction from the impending “get-to-do” list! ha!
Sugar Mama - When I have a long to do list I get anxious. First, I’ll bite my fingernails. Then I’ll have a panic feeling wash over me. Then I distract myself with something completely unrelated (usually that involves eating)…. and ONLY then do I try to work on the list.
Those pillows I must have.
Stephanie@Geezees - OMG! All of that color is making me giddy 🙂 Love those throw pillows.
Hope you have a good day Meg 🙂
Kimberly Dial - If I took pictures as lovely as yours, I’d have a hard time stopping too! Your pillows are ‘fantabulous’! You never fail to make me smile — thank you! Now …. get busy girl 😉
Kimberly Dial - If I took pictures as lovely as yours, I’d have a hard time stopping too! Your pillows are ‘fantabulous’! You never fail to make me smile — thank you! Now …. get busy girl 😉
Heather - There is nothing that paralyzes me like a long to-do list. What is up with that?
Gemma @ Musings of a gem - Heehee! Loving your cushions : )
The sight of your kitchen makes me giddy…so jealous!
Gemma x
rachel / cr.e.at.e - i just laughed out loud with each new funny close up photo & your coordinating comment. AND THE LAMP! 😀 absolutely hysterical [but it looks awesome, i’m not laughing at IT]. we have the exact same ‘problem’ so if you get help, a diagnosis or some meds, just let me know so i can help myself. randomness & procrastination central, here [going 34 years strong]. hopefully now that you got ‘other things’ out of the way, you can be productive! [that’s always my hope at least] 🙂 GOOD LUCK!
Katy - I love your house! That first picture of your beautiful pillows in your living room with your kitchen in the background, perfection!
PS – Oh, and I am the same way. My eldest is at preschool, my youngest is napping, my bed is unmade, my kitchen is a mess, and I have a ton of laundry. What am I doing? Checking your blog while waiting for the pictures that I just edited to upload for my blog. I am losing it…
Jen W. - Laughing so hard! I love that you are busy taking pictures of oranges. That’s awesome!
Candy - we were just talking at MOPS yesterday about how important it is to take pictures, even of the normal everyday life, because you can’t get those years back when life was hectic and your kids were little, but at least you will have the pictures!
Ana M - love ya….
your posts make me happy…
Kim - I do the exact same thing. I had a giant list of things to do yesterday-but not before I decoupaged book pages to the top of my coffee table. That is a must-do before preparing dinner and getting ready for a gathering at my home last night-don’t you think! I think it’s called “avoidance”.
Beth - GREAT lamp! good luck getting stuff done today!
Nicole Q. - That is exactly how I handle my to do list!!! LOVE those pillows!!! Have a great trip!
tracy dickinson - ha! i just finished watching parenthood this morning! i have a TON of things to do, but couldn’t wait any longer. it was SO good. good luck getting everything done!
alyssa - that’s hilarious. I do the same exact thing when I’m busy. I have a long to-do list and I just keep finding other things to do! I feel your pain.
katie - i am exactly the same way. i drive myself crazy like that: when i’m stressed about things to be done, i always catch myself doing other things that don’t need to be done…creative or fun things alot of the time. as i’m doing the not-necessary, probably fun thing, i’m thinking: “what the heck am i doing right now?!”
Tracy - LOL I LOVE LOVE LOVE your pillows AND the graphics on your coffee cup – TOO CUTE! I love all things circles and polkadot type stuff anyway! 🙂 Good luck with your to do list and have fun on your trip! Thanks for sharing your goodies today. Also, one more thing – could you add to the “bottom” of your to do list perhaps – to do a tutorial for your fabulous lamp makeover (not the spray paint part obviously), but the fabric part with the hot glue – I have a lamp in my daughter’s room that I want to do the same thing to. You’re so awesome and I always love coming to see what you and the family are up to each day. Have a great day, Meg! xoxoxo
Miranda - hahaha funny stuff – I get most of my list done when I am in a time crunch then run around like a mad woman!
ashley jensen - Ha! My daugter does the same thing with her little toys, takes them into the bath tub and lines them up. But there is nothing wrong with getting distracted with the things that make you happy!
Shivaun - If you’re crazy, then I’m crazy! That’s helpful now, isn’t it?
You make me laugh…and I need to because my 2-yr.old has the stomach flu and I have 6 others who I know will start any second. Laughter is good 😉
I’m busy, too. Reading blogs.
kimberly - love those pillows! i mean LOVE!
Amy - I think you have mastered smelling the roses…don’t change a thing;)) Happy Wednesday!
