This morning I woke up in my own bed and I felt utter relief rush over me. Today the rain is pelting down on our roof and it’s a gray, stormy day but I feel so happy to be home again.
I feel relieved that the big Christmas show is finally over and I have memories with Michael that I’ll treasure forever.

I can’t wait to see how my distressed white shutters look in my dining room. I found these shutters at my favorite thrift store and they’ve been sitting in my garage for months because I didn’t know what to do with them.

Don’t you love it when you have those sudden creative ‘ah-ha’ moments when you can suddenly see where something should go? And what it should look like?
