Okay…I admit it.
I am in love with five men…
I just can’t help myself! Do you blame me?
The smaller four men in my life are a result of falling in love with the tallest one.
So I am just a girl living in a boys’ world. It’s not always easy, but it’s a lot of fun!
Before all of these men captured my heart, I was an elementary school teacher for a few years.
But I have been a stay at home mom for the past ten years.
My husband and I love working together on all types of projects, but we particularly enjoy taking an older home and fixing it up. We are in our fourth project home, and are having a blast updating it.
My mom suggested that I start a blog as a way to document all the work we were doing. So I did. Thanks, Mom!
This blog has blessed my life in ways that I could have never imagined...especially by all the love and support I received when my mom passed away on September 22, 2009. She was the most creative woman I have ever known, and I am so proud to be her daughter.
I love the Lord with all my heart. And I am thankful that He loves me too.
That sums it up!

I am so happy to have found your blog! I was looking for some instructions on building a shelf b/c I found the same shelf in Ballard Designs but thought the price was a little rich. I'm all for creating things myself! I actually love to do it. So sorry to hear about your Mom. Strange, as my Mom also passed away the same date, September 22, 2009 of pancreatic cancer. Looking forward to reviewing other posts on your blog. A woman after my own heart! Have a great week!

I DO NOT HAVE A BLOG MYSELF, BUT I READ ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE AND HOW THEY LIVE AND DO EXCITING THINGS...

I HAVE BEEN READING ALL ABOUT YOUR WONDERFUL DECORATING THINGS THAT YOU ARE DOING.. THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING WITH ME... WHAT A WONDERFUL LADY YOUR MOM WAS, I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

OMG! I googled "burlap fabric bed skirt" because I love burlap and I'm redoing our master bedroom. I can't believe I found your blog, complete with the recent construction of a velcro burlap bed skirt!! I don't sew (lame, I know) but my 13yo daughter does and I could ask her to make a skirt for me. It didn't even dawn on me to just make what I'm looking for, instead of searching all over the internet for one to buy. And I'm all over the idea of using velcro (LOL at hot gluing it to your box spring). Anyway. Fun blog. Happy Easter!

ReplyDeleteHi Traci,
ReplyDeleteHow lovely your blog is.
Full of art and happiness of home.
I enjoy reading your blog.
They made me want a sweet marriage just like yours.
Lovely!!
Hi, Traci... I found your blog while I was on bed rest when I was pregnant... :) I too lost my mom to cancer and reading your posts made (and still does) me think of her in lots of ways. She was diagnosedin August 2007 and passed away in April 2008. It was the worst times of my life but God used it to strengthen me immensely. It's even harder now having a newborn and realizing he won't ever meet my wonderful momma. Anyway, I love your ideas and it looks like we are alike in a lot of ways! I look forward to reading more!!
