Welcome to the 226th Metamorphosis Monday! Rain, rain go away! Have you been coping with what seems like endless days of rain? If so, you're probably about as sick of rain as I am. Thankfully, the rest of the week is supposed to be a lot nicer here. The weather kept me from working on an outdoor project I had planned on tackling and posting about for Met Monday. Since I was stuck inside I decided … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 225th Metamorphosis Monday! Greetings! Hope your weekend was fabulous! Mine was relaxing, spent with good friends. Unfortunately, my son lives too far away for us to spend Mother's Day together but at least we were able to talk on the phone. I really should check into skyping, that would be better than just the phone. Do you Skype and if so, do you like it? Max Update: I've been … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 224th Metamorphosis Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. This was one of those weekends where I had a long list of things I really wanted to get done but Mother Nature had other plans. It rained "monsoon style" all day long on Saturday, but being the determined, crazy woman that I am, I dragged the tall urns from the deck onto the porch and replanted those as I had planned. … [Read more...]
I'm about to reveal something terribly shocking right here on zay blog, something I've never shared ever before. I'm a big Taylor Swift fan! I think she is absolutely adorable and I love almost all of her songs. Can you believe it, a grown woman loving songs most likely written for love-sick teenagers. I also love a good music video and one I never tire of watching is the one created to go … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 223rd Metamorphosis Monday! Do you have a room in your home that's your absolute favorite spot to be in the early morning? My upstairs family room is that room for me. You may recognize the next 2-3 pictures since I've shared them before here on BNOTP. This room is a cheerful, bright room, but early in the morning it's truly a sunny, happy spot to be. One of the reasons this room is … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 222nd Metamorphosis Monday! How was your weekend? We had nice weather here and I decided it was time to get to work on priming the new screened door out of the porch. While I was priming it, I had a "uh-duh" moment. I wish it had been an "Ah-ha" moment, but unfortunately it wasn't. No, it was definitely an "uh-duh" moment. I suddenly realized in the midst of priming, there … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 221st Metamorphosis Monday! Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments you left on Friday's post. I'm so grateful for all your well wishes and prayers...please know that. I'm way behind in responding to e-mails so if you e-mailed me in the last week or so and haven't heard back, I hope to get caught up on my e-mail correspondence over the next few days. Each day I'm getting stronger and … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 220th Metamorphosis Monday! A while back I took you on a little tour of my home town. It was around Christmastime and the homes were decorated for the holidays. This house has always been one of my faves. It reminds me a little of the home in the movie, Father of the Bride. (You can tour that movie house here: Father of the Bride Movie House Tour) When I used this picture in a … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 219th Metamorphosis Monday! A while back I shared a wonderful Mardi Gras table setting in the dining room of Sandi's beautiful historic home. You'll find that tablescape here: Mardi Gras Table Setting and Decoration.) Sandi's home was built in 1833 and she's been restoring it since 1991. For this Met Monday, I'm sharing some of the ways she transformed her historic … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 218th Metamorphosis Monday! Last month I shared how my friend, Marie decorated her beautiful Victorian home for Valentine's Day. The Valentine's Day decorations served a dual purpose since they were also in honor of the 4th annual "Hearts for Heroes" reception Marie hosted in her home in honor of the armed forces and our local military personnel. Marie has her spring/Easter … [Read more...]
