I like their bedding. I understand about the game show; when I was in high school I competed on a "knowledge bowl"-type show that was broadcast on local TV and it was stressful under the lights with the cameras on you! My school did end up winning the championship, which was really exciting, but we all had a freeze-up somewhere along the way! I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-8600765003635463192013-10-05T06:48:06.073-07:002013-10-05T06:48:06.073-07:00I love that picture for your bedroom.

Heavy snow in the Dakotas, rain in your area, 85 degrees and perfect in my little part of the world.<br />2. How fun to do Family Feud. One of my fellow teachers was on the show with his family 25 years ago and he totally blew it with his answers. I think they ended up winning.<br />3. I wish there was an IKEA near me, but then again, I am glad there isn't because I would spend too much money.<br /><br />Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-57805792983116849292013-10-04T18:58:28.261-07:002013-10-04T18:58:28.261-07:00Melanie - love that bedding and the picture!

I am not an artist and I don't know the price of it but I really think it would be a doable look to paint and semi-copy yourself. <br /><br />Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-65231584687921399612013-10-04T16:55:00.712-07:002013-10-04T16:55:00.712-07:00Hi Mel!

Incredible lightning and thunder and downpour from 5:00 p.m. til 11:00. I was so grateful for it as I planted all of those flowers. I like your picture in the window...never thought of using that real estate! Your nursery looks abundant in flowers, I know the farmers and huge nursery's need to make a living, but it saddens me when they can't bring down prices on plants they are going to pitch. At this late planting date...mark 'em down! I like the picture for your wall and the bedding for Tim. You are wise...a lot of designers say to start with something you're drawn to and build around that. Personally, I'm waiting for my bedroom to speak to me before I buy/add one more single thing. Seriously, it will tell me what's in my heart and mind and I will make a room I'm happy and cozy in.<br /><br />I had a pretty good day being in and doing odd things here and there that I put off on sunny days. Not sure if we will go to the lake tomorrow, I need Al to go with me to get blinds for the bedroom and I need something to go in the wall to hold that humongous mirror. We also have old firewood here that I want to burn in our little port~a~pit as it's near the shed and I'm afraid of termites! A shed cleanout is next on my list!<br /><br />So sorry, Sweetie, for a comment as long as your post!!! Happy Weekend! :)<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.com
