I have inserted a screenshot below of what the blog should look like if you have the right monitor and wait for the background to load.   Along with my house, my blog has been in need of some major organizing and cleaning-up for a long time!  I […]

‘Tis the Season

I haven’t been able to post as much as I’d like to.  I’ve been busy doing this: and this: And stuff like this, which is just awaiting a few final details (like being hung), which is why I can’t show you my holiday home tour, yet.   I’m almost there, but I need my husband for […]
