One more arrangement... and other randomness

This is the other arrangement I mentioned the other day.... I made this several years and two moves ago, so it needed a little makeover. The rocks covering the Styrofoam have been replaced with Spanish moss. I actually replaced the square flat Styrofoam with a sphere so that the flowers in the center would have more height.

Back to cleaning and organizing. Hey, and here's a free tip for you. Totally free advice. You don't even have to thank me, although I know you will...

If someone who lives with you gets a bright idea to have the carpet re-stretched the week before Christmas, run ... screaming. Act like a crazy person and tell them NO!!! We are moving and removing and returning stuff. I know when it's all done, we are going to be happier with the house. It's just a lot of work at an already busy time.

My trip which was bringing me a rest and stress all at the same time was canceled due to some wonky snow storm in the north east. I was headed right into it. I'm so bummed that I can't go. I wish I was in Virginia right now, but I'm going to reschedule my trip.

The Hero Arts Blog Hop was fun yesterday, but it was crazy at first with the comments. I'm not used to getting so many comments on my blog so I was surprised at the speed in which they were coming in. I have the blog set so that I get emails when I get comments. My phone was beeping and buzzing (email notification) sooo much at first I had to turn off the comment moderation and then the sounds on the phone. Hey, that isn't a complaint. I was sooo blessed by all the comments and compliments. I still haven't made it all the way thru the blog hop, so let me get to hoppin! Did you do it? Was it fun or what??
