Because Whimsical Always Makes You Feel Better!
First let me say... I did not purchase the above plant. I took the picture merely to show the price, which you really can't see after all. But it was something like $79.99.Suffice it to say, I have my own. I actually think it originally came from Grandma Tracy's house, and it seems like it's …
I can't say I've ever really been into "shabby chic"... I mean, it's cute and all, but it's just not "me". But when I got the idea to use up fabric by making a "rag rug" I soon realized I had entered into the "Shabby Zone"... One of the first things I usually do when …
...while it lasted! So I got this idea back in January. I had seen pictures of tall mosaics that looked like a series of houses one on top of the other, and they looked really cool to me. Immediately I thought "I can do that!" And, since there were several long two-by-fours in my back …
So on Pinterest you can find all these ideas... And if you're in "Whimsical Mode" and into mosaics, you will probably want to try some of those ideas yourself.

"You'll always find it in the last place you look!" You may remember reading "Second Childhood Part 2", where I showed you some of the "vintage" paper dolls (or, more accurately, vintage paper doll clothes) that we had as kids. For so many of the clothes, I could never find the dolls that went with …
Who wants to color? I know I do! Except that we cats don't have opposable thumbs, so I can't hold the colored pencils that well. But for those of you who do, we have some new coloring pages for you. Plus, Mom made them into Word documents that you can download and print out for …
Remember this? Yes, it's the famous toilet from "The Art of Being Big Girl Continued"! If you remember, it took me about three days to change out the toilet in the guest bathroom. My first thought was to put the old one out on the curb for the yearly neighborhood trash pick up. But we …
"Panda, what are you doing under that robe?" "I'm practicing for when I go undercover," Panda replied matter-of-factly.We had just gotten back from our trip to San Diego a couple of days before, and were relaxing in the bedroom while Mom was working on her blog. As usual, she had been so busy writing that …
