Also, now on Paula and Rick's house. WOW! What a house! Oh, to be able to live in one like that! I LOVE their Kit. cabinets, and Wallpapers. But especially their "Screen door/Shower door. What fun!

Let's start with, I'm sorry for being MIA for so long and hope you will forgive me. Seems like I'm not figuring out this "balance" thing very well. It's usually the blogs that I know have "lots of good content" that I can't just "pop in and out" so I leave them for when I can enjoy with more time, and, alas, "more time" is a rare commodity.<br /><br />Second, I LOVE that house. I WANT that house!!! Too bad it is in the city (and way too close to my hubby's ex-sister.....) ;o) GORGEOUS....<br /><br />Third: Congratulations on the APP article!! Where's my issue???? What the heck???? (A well-deserved honor - can't wait until I track it down and can see for myself.....)<br /><br />Fourth: My shrinking clothes could have done without the food references. But, Rice Krispies and Milky Ways have now found their way on my grocery list. Naughty, naughty, Karen.....<br /><br />Fifth: That penny pillow is absolutely wonderful. I tend to be a bit of a penny snob and love real wool - this is positively gorgeous. And, yes - it looks amazing on that amazing chair....<br /><br />Sixth: I adore that runner you did - those colors are so, so, me.<br /><br />Seventh: Boo Hoo.....I missed your Valentine's day header....but love your reds. I'm a red freak myself.<br /><br />Eighth: Congratulations on your win from Lynne....That is cute as a bug's ear.<br /><br />Ninth: Hmmmmm...what have I forgotten??? Oh well - refer back to "first" and forgive me.....<br /><br />Hope your week is off to a great start....Smiles & Hugs ~ RobinTheCrankyCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314851714923955216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-53583198589262285002012-02-20T14:01:11.701-06:002012-02-20T14:01:11.701-06:00Karen, WOW!!

I'm normally not a wallpaper person but their walls are gorgeous and blend in so well with their furnishings! They have done a marvelous job on this home!

The penny pillow is very pretty. I am glad that you have one for yourself. That house is absolutly amazing. I am sure I would sell a body part for it. I have never seen anything like that. They don't have neat restored homes like that out here in the north west. They are always built to look like that brand new.

I have been so busy with travel and frankly my funds were too low to make the trip (not from travel, my husband's work pays for that since he lives away from home) but from my shop being slow. Struggling to know how to manage it with how things have changed. <br /><br />I also have a love of all things (country)red!

That's nice that you were able to get out and about so much but yes, I love being home warm and cozy too. =]<br /><br />When I saw the first picture of the home, I thought "Oh, that's pretty", then I saw the other photos... Holy Moly what a gorgeous home!! That sure is a lot of windows to clean, but it would probably be worth it, haha!<br /><br />Your wool penny pillow matches your chair perfectly! The colors are so pretty and I love the simple design. I was in the middle of reading Dan's story on pennies when I had to put my magazine down to take care of some things. I thought the penny rugs looked familiar. Later, I was reading Jan and Susan's blog and they were talking about you being featured so I had to rush back to my magazine and finish the story!! I didn't realize it was you! Congratulations!! =] I LOVE my penny rug from you SO much!!! Oooooh... love the black/red/mustard custom penny too! Black as a base looks great!<br /><br />Gonna have to "pin" that recipe, sounds and looks delicious, very rich and fattening, lol!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Valentine's Day~Angie Berry ~ Berry Homespun Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664447067172311957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-51643243540343305152012-02-13T20:39:05.488-06:002012-02-13T20:39:05.488-06:00Congrats!
