I have not followed you long, however, I read it every time I see it in my email. I am in the process of moving and most of my favorite things are packed up, so I try to envision the type of home I will have when I get moved and get decorating ideas. I want to do DIY projects whenever I get moved. My house is for sale now, and I have no idea when I will move. So there is not much I can do right now except dream about what I want to do when I get moved. I appreciate your blogs and inspiration. I do not like to cook very often, so recipes are not my think unless they are easy.

I sometimes wonder how you find enough hours in the day to complete all that you do. You are an amazing person and I love that you share your decorating tips and amazing sense of style with all of your readers. When I first discovered your blog, I actually ended up going back to your first post and read each and every single one. What an enjoyable experience to start in the beginning and see how your lovely blog has evolved over the years. You can imagine my surprise when I realized your son is serving as a youth minister at a church very close to my home. <br /> At this point, I have to share a little story about my Christmas of 2011. On a very cold Sunday evening, I answered the door to a group of Christmas carolers from your son's congregation who asked if they could sing to me. At the time I had my eighty nine year old Dad living with me and I asked if they would mind coming inside so they could share their Christmas joy with Dad. I had no idea that there were at least fifty men, women and children in the group. They so graciously came in and made sure the children were close to Dad so he could see their beautiful little faces. They filled our home with such beautiful music and I had tears of joy running down my face. They gave us a gift much more valuable they any gift you could put under the tree. They shared their love of God with an elderly World War II vet. I regret that I never sent a note to the members of the church to thank them for their kindness. My Dad told all of his Christmas visitors about the joy he experienced when the carolers came to visit. Being homebound and unable to attend church this was his Christmas blessing. I still get teary eyed and a lump in my throat just thinking about it as it turned out that was my Dad's last Christmas. So please pass on to your son that he has true angels in his congregation who live their faith by example.. <br />Have you discovered the fantastic ribbon outlet in Hagerstown on Willow Circle? They have gorgeous ribbons and fantastic prices. It is like any other outlet where certain times of the year they have more inventory than others. I find if you want Christmas ribbons to go in the late summer or early fall.<br /> I wish you many blessings in 2014 and a complete recovery from your recent surgery. Thank you for sharing your God given talents with your readers. Have you ever thought about creating a design book for all those who don't follow blogs to enjoy? Your blog is five stars ***** with five being exceptional. I'm looking forward to seeing all the creativity you will share in with us in the coming year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-84808961186108987002013-12-30T19:41:51.230-05:002013-12-30T19:41:51.230-05:00Thank you for making your blog available to me; I ...Thank you for making your blog available to me; I enjoy reading it and appreciate the work that goes into it. Since you have expressed an interest in receiving reader feedback (and only because you have asked for such feedback) I would like to make several suggestions: I have a 35 year career in advertising and marketing and spend a lot of time in the area of art direction. I respectfully suggest that your blog is somewhat over art-directed, which actually makes it much harder to read and scan than I believe you intend. It's clear you spend a lot of time trying to make the blog attractive and clearly you care about readability. I would suggest that instead of mixing so, so, so many font styles and sizes (for emphasis, I suspect), stick to just one body font style. It takes restraint to make things readable. i would also suggest that reconsider centering your body copy and instead justify right-- centered copy is very strenuous for the eye to follow as it must readjust and reorient itself on each line. Over-designed. Simplify! The best art directed blogs out there are all quite clean and simple in design. It's much more pleasing to the eye and easier to digest. <br /><br />Your home is well edited, and not over cluttered. May I suggest that you apply this same beautiful approach to your blog and declutter, simplify fonts, and align type to left margins.<br /><br />Best of luck to you and thanks for listening.<br /><br />Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097623860952775482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-83298550710042684652013-12-30T19:26:59.388-05:002013-12-30T19:26:59.388-05:00Thanks Yvonne, I figure it out and submitted my su...Thanks Yvonne, I figure it out and submitted my survey.
