thank you...thank you...THANK YOU!!



Whew! What a week it has been! I have to start this post off saying THANK YOU as loud as I can to all of my wonderful blog friends out there. I know all of your well-wishes and prayers for my sweet Mom helped her get through a tough time after her surgery.

I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to me that so many of you left well-wishes for her last week. I just know a 'certain someone' was listening...because she is home. And happy. And on her way to recovery. That, my friends, makes me a happy girl!

We had a scary couple of days right after the surgery, but thankfully all turned out ok thanks to the all her wonderful doctors and nurses. I think I may have a few more gray hairs but things like this really put life in perspective and as strange as it may sound, I think a little reality check like this may be good for a person now and then. I need a little reminder now and then of how quickly time goes by.

So today, I am focused. I am going to accomplish some things on my to-do list. I think its going to go something like this.

- Finish painting a white nightstand for a client.

- Finish a black buffet for a client.

- Finish a black bookshelf for a client.

- Finish a white wall mirror for a client.

(...do you see a trend here?? I am a little behind.)

- Deliver said nightstand, bookshelf and mirror.

- Photograph some more things so I can FINALLY get my Etsy shop open for the season.

- Clean bathrooms.

- Do laundry.

- Figure out what the heck is for dinner.

- Finish building out the bookcase we are installing where a doorway used to be.

- Start priming said bookcase.

- Take my auction finds from the weekend to my warehouse.

- Catch up on all my favorite blogs.

- Finalize details for a giveaway I am going to host this week.

- Breathe.


Happy Monday, all. I am off to get to work! This is what my 'to-do' list looks like every day. It explains the lack of before-and-after photos and the fact that I am yet to get my online selling underway now that show season is over. But, I am working that way...slowly!

And did you catch the part about the giveaway?? Coming this week, so don't miss it!
