I'm thinking about changing the name of this blog. I just dreamed it up as I was setting this thing up and I've never been happy with it. I'm open to suggestions, so feel free to share.
I have been busy decorating the front bedroom and it is looking very pretty. I decided to go with a French Country garden theme, in colors of burgundy, mauve, soft green and taupe, picking up the colors of the floral spread and pillow shams. I didn't have time to paint the walls, but since I will be buying a new spread and shams eventually, I wanted to wait. I bought an unfinished ledge shelf at Michael's, painted it a soft green, then antiqued it. It will be hung in the computer corner, displaying pictures of the kids, etc. I still need a curtain rod and new lampshade for the beautiful crystal lamp that was a gift to my daughter when she got married. I brought the pair of lamps back with me the last time I visited. They didn't fit in her new home and I didn't particularly have a place for them either, but I wanted to keep them because of their sentimental value. Besides, they were quite an investment back when they were purchased!
As I look around this newly decorated room and see the gallery of my children and grandchildren's pictures, it reminds me of how quickly time has flown by. We have all been through many changes, some good, some not so good, but that is what life is all about, isn't it? There's not a person on this earth who, if given the opportunity, wouldn't go back and change some things along life's journey. Life truly is like a tapestry, our experiences woven together like so many different threads and textures. The pretty side is displayed for the world to see...the 'ugly' side, with all the knots and bumps, carefully hidden from view. No two are alike, but each one beautiful in it's own way, knots, bumps, tangles and all. And the best part is that God loves both sides! He forgives us when we knot things up and if we will allow him, He can make something beautiful from the tattered pieces.
Change happens,
Life goes on.
Be thankful for every day.
Good, bad, come what may!
Time to get ready for church!
Happy Sunday, ya'll

Wish I could help you with a name for your blog, it took me a while to come up with mine and I don't even know where that came from...LOL
Your decorating sounds wonderful! Do take some pics and post them if you can, I would love to see them, I like the color combination you chose.
You are so right, if only we could go back and change some things in our lives.
Yeah, I scare myself sometimes when I go that deep, but "it's twue, it's twue", to quote Tweety Bird.
Decorating keeps me sane!
Feathers, I will take some pics soon. I bought a lampshade and curtain rod this morning and hung the shelf. It's lookin' good!
Still brainstorming for a blog name! LOL
Please allow me to suggest some blog names;
"It's my party and I'll write what I want to!"
"My place, so **** off!"
"If you have any comments about my driving...."
"Go ahead, make my day!"
"As the Mexican mows my lawn...."
"Shouldn't you be balancing your checkbook?"
and last, but certainly not least,
"Where did that pole come from?"
Jason,
I'm thinking about going with the second one...or maybe the last one..ummm, what pole? Dang, I hated hitting that pole. That was a stupid place to put a pole, anyway!
