I wish my yard looked like that, but we’re working on it. Thanks for the motivation! Lovely pics Meg! Looking forward to seeing your craft Thursday/Friday lol. Your flowers are beautiful! Gosh your garden is so gorgeous and lush! Waiting for everything here to get blooming, slowly but surely! Meg what a beautiful garden. Your photography keeps getting better and better, its always good. Your blog brings so much joy to my life and such inspiration. Please don’t ever go away!!! Hydrangeas are my favorite! Enjoy mine are just popping up. I am seriously lusting after your camera and your mature plants! Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures with us! Wonderful pictures ! Beautiful pics Meg. And in Australia it is mid-winter. But thankfully I live in the sub-tropics so it’s 23 degrees Celsius here today. That is 73.4 degrees Fahrenheit. I love it. Thanks for reminding us that Spring is only 8 weeks away here! Simply beautiful. Kansas seems to bloom about a month before the East Coast (Long Island). Our Day lillies just opened but hydrangea and purple cone flowers are nearly a month away from blooming. Those are all mid July and August flowers for us. Thanks for sharing. My yard has serious yard envy. Those pics are delovely! These are beautiful…thanks for sharing!! 🙂 love it!!! ENJOY!!!! I am drinking your margarita recipe RIGHT NOW!!!! SOOOO GOOD!!!! LOLS Just beautiful:) Lucky you…oh and I found you in a magazine tonight! Honey and I were at Barnes and Noble and I picked up Flea Market Style and voila…there you were on page 28. Congratulations. You go girl!!! Really beautiful. I wish we could grow hollyhocks, but our cool summers in Alaska just don’t produce them often. Have I mentioned how much I love your photography?? Gorgeous! My garden is 11 years old now! I am still constantly weeding! I am also still constantly adding beds and plants. Now I want to add to my small collection of day lilies. Your flowers are gorgeous! Beautiful!! I can’t wait till I have a bigger yard that gets more sun. I would especially love a mature garden like yours, because I’m not much of a gardener… Oh meg… these are beautiful! I love them! Wow, amazing photos! I love the 7th one up from the bottom because you captured a little bug crawling on it, how cool!
I love the ruffles of them! Kelly These are absolutely my favorite flowers, so I won’t ever get tired of seeing pictures of them! They’re hard to grow here in Alaska, though. I just haven’t had good luck. Oh, my gosh, those are so beautiful! Mine are just barely starting to bloom. You’ve got several kinds there. Very pretty the way you edited them too. Never too many peony photos! I’ll enjoy yours until mine explode. i love peonies. i’ve planted them once in a garden and we moved before the next spring so i never saw them bloom again. I got some shoots from my great aunt’s house a year ago… I have 3 or 4 plants that come up and this year I finally have ONE bud… finally! I check every day to see if it has bloomed 🙂 I love them! so i have a peony question for you. when do you think i’ll get this kind of crop? from the bulbs i bought from aldi’s & just planted on monday? some how i think i missed the boat this season. 🙂 ha ha ha but yours are GORGEOUS. enjoy! our peonies smell like a bottle of perfume….they are hidden on the back side of the house only us and our neighbors can see them, they came from my mother in laws bunch which amy and i both have(: to carry them on!! Photo’s, not the real flowers… ha ha. Meg, can you put these in your shop? I’d love to buy some…. 🙂 Thanks for sharing. Mine aren’t open yet so I’ll enjoy yours until I can bring some inside. Beautiful …. gorgeous! They’re your favorite flower, aren’t they? One of my most favorite flowers! I’ve been following your blog for a while and you always have the most amazing photos. And I’m really glad you posted these pics since I didn’t even think about taking any photos of our peonies and they have already come and gone for the season where I am 🙁 Oh, I could NEVER get tired of these! They are just AMAZING! Great, great photos! never. ever. tired. beautiful. I love peonies, but I don’t see them much where I live now (Georgia). I remember they always seemed so fluffy and cool to the touch. They usually had big, black ants in them, too, which I didn’t love. They are so beautiful! I couldn’t get tired of their beauty. They made me think of some of the couture dresses I’ve seen in magazines lately – soft, torn chiffon and silk. I wonder if peonies gave the designers their inspiration. Thank you for posting them! Do you think my neighbors would notice if I picked a few large bouquets out of their yard until I get some to grow over here? 🙂 They are gorgeous! I love them and can’t wait to have some peony bushes of my own someday! I adore peonies! They bring back such wonderful childhood memories of an elderly neighbor and the visits we had. I’ll never get tired of seeing them! I love Peonies too! Every house we ever lived in when I was young we always have several peony bushes… sadly, I don’t have any now… I need to make a mental note to purchase some and get them planted so they will bloom next year!! Beautiful!! hi dina. Who could ever tire of peonies? Mine are still tight little balls…come on, warm weather!! Never tire of your beautiful pics 🙂 Rain (tornado) Rain (tornado) GO AWAY!!!!!!!!! my favorite too! I wish I had a bush of them for myself! Those are nothing short of spectacular! Amazing photos! The dark pink ones are just gorgeous! Mine are in full bloom too…. LOVE them:-) I love them! So pretty. they are my favorite and i don’t have one bush in my yard of them…that needs to change this year! i am going to get one! Wow. Those are just beautiful. I can practically smell them through my computer screen. Quick, go pick them! I never get tired of peonies! Ours won’t open for a few more weeks… Just lovely. I wish I could grow those. I think my dogs would eat them for lunch. 🙁 I will enjoy yours. Beautiful photos. I love Peonies. My name is Penny and my grandmother-in-law (from the south) always called me Peonie! Very pretty!

We have more than 6 weeks left! End of June! When do they start school? I love those flowers. My parents had bushes like those outside there house. We would play barbies around those trees and use those little flowers as bouquets. Now I always call them barbie bouquets. I always thought it would be fun to have a flower girl throw tons of those little flowers at a wedding. sounds perfectly heavenly! Augghh we still have 30 days. At least the sun is shining today. Finally. It actually snowed here (outside Seattle) on Wednesday. What a colorful little girl Annie is 🙂 And I love that Talby horn shot! Such wonderful little girlies (: ici , il manqueme soleil et la chaleur surtout ! Only 8 days for us!!!!! Love Annie’s style! You Annie has the most fun style.

I’m ready to see your summer list of “things to do”! 13 days for us! And you know this teacher is in final countdown mode for SURE! I have mixed feelings. I’m SO excited about having the kids home and all the fun travels we have planned this summer, and a huge YES to iced coffee!! But when the big kids get out of school at the end of this month is when I have to stop working from home and go back to the office, which means leaving my little baby at home, and THAT I’m sad about. Hello- Cute pic’s – im all about icecream- best thing about summer- Ice cream truck… Cute Blog- beautiful spirea. Boy, your kids get out of school early! I will be ready for summertime too:) Great photos. wow ….. can’t even imagine that when its still only 2 degrees here!!! I love how happy your girls look here! A perfect little piece of innocent America, it made me smile! Where did you find Annie’s darling Ring Pop tee? My 5-year old would {heart} it! Cute, cute! Tried you Peanut Butter Pie tonight with Pioneer Woman’s crust! OH.MY.WORD!!! Talby is getting TALL. So cute. I’ll have a chocolate chip cookie dough cone from Braums, please. WOW! You guys get out a week before us. My students come until the 28th and teachers come back for one slow day AFTER Memorial Day. Ugh! “i’ll have what she’s having!” Ah cute!

I’ve been reading your blog a looooong time 🙂 I remember this post last yer saying you were ready for bbq’s and watermelon 🙂 Sign me up! This is going to be an especially wonderful summer since my oldest starts Kindergarten in the fall (and yes, it’s KILLING me!). So I’m determined to make it awesome for all of us. 12 days????????????????????? That is IT???? Please never ever let me send my kids to your school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man 🙂 Meeee toooo!!!! So looking forward to not packing lunches and going through backpacks for notes 😉 ahhhhh Summer 🙂 (Except here in OK…the wind is REEDICULOUS right now!!!

The flower bush there are the kind that are in my grandma’s yard. And we actually had the flower girl at our wedding 7 years ago, throw little clusters of them down the aisle…because they are such a big memory for me! What kind are they?? that my friend is a great list of things to look forward to! Me too! Add days lounging at my dad’s pool, summer thunderstorms, and barbeque dinners. iced coffee. Oh, me too.
my favorite flower. Wow beautiful. You should totally create some magic and find a way to preserve those for my wedding in April. YUM! Loveeee. Those are so very, very beautiful! Peonies are my favorite as well. Stunning photos as always, one of the reasons why I adore coming here. Happy Mother’s Day to you! GORGEOUS!!! You are right! These are my favorite flower, as well. I need to get some more. You are so lucky, flowers bloom sooner in Kansas than in Iowa! I love where I live except Spring – SoCal doesn’t do “spring flowers” I have tried too many “adapted” for local climate, peonies, tulips lilacs they don’t work!! So beautiful smell some for me I am green with envy! We can’t grow peonies here. I can Almost smell them…Thanks for sharing! i love these pics!!! Are you going to put them for sell in your shop???? 🙂 I would definitely need one of each! They are gorgeous and make me LOVE this time of year even more! I just try not to look at all the ants! We had peonies at our house growing up and all I can think of is the ants that seemed to be always crawling all over them, though lucky for you you don’t seem to have that same problem 🙂 I love peonies too. I had them in my wedding bouquet. You’re lucky mine won’t bloom until next month probably. But I think I can smell them from your shots 😉 I love your flower pics…when I went home to La. I went crazy taking pics of all of the flowers. I feel like I can smell them through your pictures… Mine too. Here in Oklahoma, they’ve been in bloom for about a week. So last night I cut a HUGE bouquet of them to put on the table as they fade away. I wish some scientist could genetically mutate them so that they would bloom all summer long. Love, love—your photos! What process did you use on the 1st photo of the blog, I want that look in some of my photos. have to agree…GREAT flower, and it makes us appreciate it so much because it is here for such a short sweet time. We should treat everyday like we do the peony!!! i remember when i first started following your blog, you did a post on your peonies. at that point i had never seen one before (to my knowledge)….literally about a week later, i received some in the mail from my aunt. they are UNBELIEVABLE. i love that they are all balled up, and as soon as i put them in water, they opened before my eyes. i felt like i was watching one of those nature shows where they do time lapse photography. thank you for always sharing your little joys. i don’t always comment, but i always stop by. you are such a breath of fresh air. I love peonies too. My plants dont even have buds yet 🙁 Enjoy yours while they are blooming. Thanks for sharing! They’re my favorite too! I’m fighting every urge to go cut the ones blooming on campus (at U of I) to bring them home for myself 😛 brings back such sweet memories. summer time at grandma’s. my birthday…playing in the water hose while trying not to get stung by the busy bees. and the sweet smell; oh, i loved the fragrance they share. my grandmother grew these all over the side of the family house. thank you for sharing. so pretty! …favorite smell…. these are my favorite too!! just such a beautiful flower. i have tried and tried to grow them here in the south and have one bloom in 7 years ;(….just too hot Haha! I await our peonies too. Ours are almost all done. Ours are the exact same colors as yours! Question for you…how did you train for your run? I have tried running and got to a 10min mile and that was that. Also, will you ever sell your colorful pillows on etsy? LOVE them! Can’t wait to see this years pictures of London in the Peonies. They are such beautiful flowers and that little girl in them makes for great pictures and fun. PEONIES are the BEST. Gorgeous! You’re pictures are dreamy and the flowers stunning. I certainly wish I had some of these beauties in my yard. I’m still waiting for mine to bloom, your’s are way ahead of mine… thanks for the picture’s ! Hugs to you 🙂 Ditto x 6! One of my faves, especially in hot pink! LOVE IT! I just recently discovered my new favorite flower and it was a tree so it really won’t last long. I used it for my YouCapture this week on my blog. Oh wow ~ Great pictures! Beautiful, love Peonies…wish I could grow them here in Cali, too hot though. Mine came out today too! We cut one and sent it to Corbett’s teacher, I cut two for the coffee table and I photographed the rest! Why do ants like them so much too? Let’s go to barn sales on peonies farms. Gorgeous photos of one of my favorite flowers. I have subscribed to your blog for almost a year and it is one of my favorites (I’m a fellow Kansan!). Thanks for sharing yourself; you are inspiring to me. I love peonies too. I didn’t know you could grow them at home… I’ll have to look into that. I love your blog! Beautiful! i have one of mine in a vase on my table right now and have to take a big wiff everytime i sit down. my fave too for sure! also, i really like your processing on those pics:) A walk in my garden here in California today and I noticed that my one peony is in bloom. I thought of you remembering it is your favorite flower. I think here my blooms last almost 10 days if it stays cool. I LOVE peonies!! They remind me of my Grandma. She had lots and lots of peony bushes in her yard. =) I love this flower too! So pretty 🙂 oh…beautiful. we don’t grow peonies here…major flower envy! I second all of that… Sooo pretty! Enjoy every minute of the next 2 weeks:) Isn’t it ridiculous that peonies are one of the most beautiful flowers…they’re in all the wedding magazines…when you ask for them, you find out you can’t have them because they aren’t around anymore…sad, sad, sad! Glad you get to enjoy them in person, if only for a short while. Thanks for sharing with us! *flower envy* I LOVE these flowers. I really want to plant these in my backyard when we get to ‘redoing’ that part of the house… but it’s really sad they don’t bloom for very long. my fav too along with hydrangeas! My pink peonies are blooming now and my white ones are getting ready to open!! I love my garden when my peonies are blooming – Your pictures captured yours beautifully! oh, i don’t have any peonies and i wish i did…they are my favorite flower as well…I LOVE the pink ones!!! I don’t have any peonies, but my Mom does. They are my favorite flower. The smell is bliss. I’m sure she won’t miss the few I have adorning my coffee table. SHHHH…don’t tell her. Love them too – I peonies in my wedding bouqet! It’s almost time for them here as well! I can’t wait, your pictures make me want some NOW:) I feel the same way, Meg! My peonies are just starting to bloom. I cut a few today and they smell heavenly! those are my favorite too! Beautiful pics! Enjoy them while they last, they are so beautiful! Mine are still not ready, they’re still tight little buds. I am keeping an eye on them, last year they bloomed and I didn’t realize it until a few days into it and they were all drooped over onto the ground. Not good!! Hi meg, This post is making me SO excited!!! Mine are all tight buds and I just KNOW they’re going to bloom soon and I just CANNOT wait!! The colors are so so very beautiful:) I am so happy that spring is here! The flowers are beautiful! Don’t you just love them! They are so fluffy and full. Enjoy darling! they are so beautiful…still waiting for mine to pop open…I think I should add some new colors this year. I love them too! Just saw a couple small buds on my bush this morning! Yeah!! Enjoy! Peonies are my favorite, too. They have the best smell and are so easy to arrange. Mine won’t be in for another week or two, though! They are beautiful! So sad they only last for two weeks…

next year, i hope you add september’s (indian lakes) to the list. they have a bleu cehsee-stuffed burger that is excellent. btw, i do hope to ping you once the weather gets nice to check out the stump smoker.~ carpetbagger Ooh, your craft room is looking good! Keeping things clean and organized can be a little hard, but when you see results like that, you can’t help but work hard to make sure that things are kept in such a state. Well, invest in ways to store some of that stuff later on to prevent an accumulation of clutter! Cleaning up our closets means cleaning the clutter and all stuff that are scattered. This is a routine that we have to maintain in order for us to be able to have the cleanliness that we deserve. hanks a lot for sharing your points of view with us. Keep up the good work You literally have the best craft room that I have ever seen. Please share where all of the inspiration came from. Is it things that you have been collecting over time? It looks like a room of things that you love. WOWEE…I am in awe of your craft room, it’s absolutely incredible! Love the room…so fun and filled with bits and pieces and it made me want to jump in there and get crafty. I can so relate, I have been trying to clean my bead table for a month, thanks for the incentive! I can’t even tell you how jealous I am of your craft room! I LOVE it! Even when it’s messy, I wish it were mine. Although that’s actually true of your whole house…I have looked at the pics of your house many times. 🙂 I have to admit – I covet your craft room. I LOVE it! It’s about the size of my living room, and my craft room is a table and a dresser in our dining room ha! But just looking at your pictures was the inspiration I needed to finish sewing my kids’ Easter outfits. I love how colorful and just packed to the gills your craft room is! It is bursting with creativity. After this post I just want to color, sew, stamp, cut, and glue! i just love your craft room. all the treasures and vintage goodies. all the light. and most of all, all the love!! That room makes me smile as I know that it does you too! Happy Easter. Love the room Meg! It looks just like your pillows. So fun and vintage looking. I am glad you enjoyed your trip and I have enjoyed your pictures. Will be back tomorrow! Thanks for the daily inspiration. Hi Meg! Being the 84th to comment, I doubt you’ll see this but I just had to say how much I LOVE your craft space and every wonderful, perky thing in it! The pictures of it alone are uplifting. You are such a creative gal and I know you inspire many, including me for sure! Hope you have a wonderful Easter! XO Ann Oh my goodness! Your chalkboard wall is gorgeous- I am so going to erase all my white words and add colored chalk!!!! Love it. Love the verse. The bird with a french fry poster is awesome! My daughter and I have a spot where we park and throw fries to pigeons; they land all over the car and we laugh until our bellies hurt. Weird dream! Speaking of weird dreams, my daughter woke up the other day and said, “Mommy, I dreamed you were feeding me washcloths for breakfast and I didn’t want them but you said don’t waste the food you made.” Wonder what that says about me? 😉 I sooooo LOVE your craft room! I need to make mine more colorful like yours, although is just a mini version, it could be a lot more inspiring. I’ll keep looking at your pictures and maybe I’ll get to it…when I have time. I totally get the not wanting to waste time sleeping 🙂 looks fantastic (once again)! good for you! Lovely room! If my spare space could look pretty instead of just junky I would indulge myself an area for crafting. You manage to impart that prettyness to your area. Meg, Where do you buy your pom pom trim? I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE your craft room. Love the happy colors, love the detail 🙂 I want to live in that craft room:) AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this is really your craft room, I am SO jealous! i want to spend all day long in there too!! Long time lurker…first time commenter! Can you come to Texas and make my house feel as fun and warm as yours? I bet when people walk into your home they feel the LOVE, I do from here. Great job! Yours is so colorful and fun. I just redid mine…you can see it at http://www.juliejohnsonblog.blogspot.com... yummy!!!! Meg, Great photos. So artistic. You have inspired me to finish up my craft room/office. LOL at your dream. I had a wierd dream where I was looking for a date for the prom……until I remembered, “oh wait, I’m married” where did that come from. have a great day. Ok. That’s it. I am getting in my car and driving over… AZ isn’t too far, right? LOL. Have a great day! Wow I LOVE your craft room…everything just looks so shabby chic and pretty! Wish I could come around and play : ) it is amazing how happy pom poms make me 🙂 I’m pretty sure we have the same cutting board 😉 And I was having weird dreams until a wild pack of dogs decided to wake us up at 1:30 am and scare the bejeeze out of us. I agree with what purejoy said. Simply lovely. I absolutely love it! It IS so happy! Love the stuff you added – so very cute! Someday. Someday I will have a craft space like this. I love it! Fun, Fun, Fun !!! I just love all the happy in your craft room — all the color is so inspiring. You have my dream craft room! I love it!

That room makes ME happy….and it’s not even mine….annnnd I can’t even sew 🙂 Simply FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! Have a blessed Holy Thursday 🙂 awesomeness. pure awesomeness. that was fun! Beautiful and inspiring room! I often get discouraged that I have to go to sleep. There’s just so much I want to do. I guess that’s why kids don’t like to sleep. 🙂 I love EVERYTHING about your craft room… I feel so much better… Sure would love to come and play! give waffle a hug for me 🙂 heavenly!!!!!!!!!! what a lovely space to create in! I always find cleaning the craft room is so hard to find time for because it’s time I could be sewing, quilting or doing something creative! you’ve done a lovely job! A pocketful of sunshine, Meg. It’s so important to have a happy place to “escape” to far from the maddening crowd. Hello Megan. Your craft room is just de-lovely. I would want to play in there all night too. But sleep is important so, even with the strange dreams, it was probably the best choice 😉 LB x Lions and tigers and bears OH MY! I love it. I want one… it’s so happy! Enjoy! meggie it’s me again when i say i’d take the chandelier off your hands i mean i’d buy it$$ ok, 3 things: Are you selling these upcoming pillows on etsy?? I want a pillow so badly 🙂 what did you toss?? what?! i want it! meggie i’ll take the chandiler (sp) off your hands?? i cleaned today w/my daughter in law and you need sunglasses it so clean…. I have 3 of the little red/white polka dot boxes I spyed on top of a pile in one of the pics.. 50% off Vday clearance! I love them! I NEED one of those red/white polka dot bags hanging on your still needs to be painted door.. 🙂 Red and white polka dots are my favorite! oh I heart heart heart your special crafting space. such carefully placed INTERESTING and unique pieces. Mine is so bland and looks like it stepped out of a flat-packed store (because it has). I am inspired to go thrifting and paint some chalkboard paint on something! Love the hooks on the door. I also LOVE the littl red shelf. Too cute! LE SIGH! Oh I love love love your space! How fantastic! Where did you get the print that says “Today I will be happier than a bird with a french fry”? I love that! what a fun space! I’m in love….. I agree! You are SO far from white trash! Best place Evah. I still adore that white/green chippy cabinet with the pink felt flower thingys. And your verse. And your “I am here to serve with JOY”. Oh, and your dream. From one crazy dreamer to another – good one. 🙂 UUUMMM If I promise to pick up after myself can I come and live in your craft room? a happy happy place.. i loved my visit. lovely! Thanks for showing us. I have the exact same thoughts about having to sleep but unfortunately I’m not sleeping well these days at 8 1/2 months pregnant. 🙁 Kelly I wanna live in your craft room! I’ll help you make pillows! I was thinking to myself, I wish that I had a craft room like Meg’s. The funny thing is that I could have one–not a beautiful light-filled one (it’s in the basement) but I could MAKE IT NICE if I ever made the time to paint the drywall, to hang stuff up, to out in some storage and a couple of tables…IT’S UP TO ME. And I am inspired by your room. this looks like the perfect place to create something bright and fun! Love the chandelier. As much as I love to sleep, I too, wish I didn’t need to. It just takes up so much time! 🙂 Fun seeing the Snap on Tools holder in your pictures. You purchased that at my garage sale a couple of years ago. I orginally bought it at Round Top in Texas. Oh *sigh…. so lovely. i’m watching the clock waiting, just waiting for the play room to become my craft room. my kids are only 5 and 2 1/2 – i think i’m going to be watching the clock for a very, very long time. but it’ll be worth the wait when i get there! 🙂 have a wonderful weekend and easter!! I want your craft room;) It’s lovely. And you literally made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! I feel ya…I have so many things to sew and paint! When my hubby came home from work today and asked what we were having for dinner, I cheerfully replied, “leftovers”! (Cause, ya know, microwave=more time to craft!) He’s not as enthusiastic about that as I am…? Time to go all out and plug in the crock pot! 🙂 dude. i would never leave. i’d leave to go menus by the phone and tell my family to order carry out. i’d put in a cot. and a coffee maker. and a portapotty. seriously. never leave. i’d order in a basin of water and take sponge baths and open up windows when the stank of me got too bad. geesh. what a perfect room. it made me want to go thrifting. ohmyword. i was in heaven for just a second. ooooooh…house pics….you know how i feel about looking at your house. i’ll take any glimpse i can get. Cleaning a craft room is so fun. I love the rediscovery of goodness, the promise of crafts to come. Thank you so much for sharing your space. I cannot wait to have a craft room again! Yours is just beautiful and so cheery! Love it! So it is breaking a Ten Commandment to covet your neighbors wife….is it still breaking a commandment if you are coveting your online friend’s craft room? Just curious. Your creative space is so fun and colorful. I LOVE THAT CARD…a bird with a french fry. It just cracks me up:) i know it’s a sin, but I covet your craft room! this looks like such a fun place!!! thanks for sharing! It is a very happy place! Great room. So inspirational. I want one just like it 😉 Oh, it is just lovely! What a great room! Now, can you spare some time to come and help me clean my space? Yum! Makes me want to come play in your craft room! Love your chalkboard wall… especially the verse written on it. 🙂 That’s EXACTLY where we’re living right now. 🙂 Everything looks lovely. The black wooden Snap-On Tools box caught my eye. I was a Snap-on Tools distributor some twenty years ago. Still buy them and use them everyday at my business. Best mechanic’s tools you can get. Really enjoy your blog. Proud of you for going to Haiti, enjoyed the pictures. Oh Meg! Everything is just so lovely and happy. I want this room, actually I want your whole house. Or maybe just a sprinkle of whatever happy dust you use. Now you’ve got me longing for a craft room. Everything is so bright and cheery in there, and love the red lockers. Jackie |

merlin - I’m having one of “those” kind of mothering days and I see the book title in your photo “Are You My Mother?” and I think it should say “How is it that I am your mother?”
Do you ever have those kinds of days when you just wonder how things got so out of control when you have such good intentions?
Anybody?
