I love Design Sponge and I forgot how much I loved the before & after section until this last weekend when we had our friend Quintin and his family over for dessert. He wants to find an old Dutch style couch to reupholster, so we looked at some of design sponge's amazing before & after pictures.I especially love this before & after from...
...and I am sooo excited. I hate to admit it, but I think I like Halloween just as much if not more than Christmas.These first 2 pictures were taken about 3 years ago when Steve and I visited Rozzie in DC. Rozlynn and I have both lived in DC and instantly fell in love with Old Town in Alexandria, VA. We were visiting...

About a month ago she had the idea of making sachets out of them and filling them with lavender.When I was visiting her about a week ago I stayed up after everyone had gone to bed and made these sachets filled with her English lavender buds.

I did this about a month ago and finally am able to download the pictures onto our mac, cause it's back from the shop!

Our mac 27" computer is only 2 years old and it pooped out on us. I am at my parents place again, it's the only place I can blog because we still don't have a computer. We heard back from the Mac store and they couldn't save ONE thing from our hard drive. Everything is gone...pictures, documents, movies etc. are all gone from...

Today August 2nd, Steve and I have been married for 8 years!!! Holy cow! Where has time gone? Steve had made reservations for 2 at Ruth Chris in SLC, which I had been looking forward to all day and he sent me beautiful flowers! Well, I'd love to say it was magical and enchanting....but it wasn't (no fault of Steve's). Here is how...
