We are going to pick up right where we left off last week…

If you can believe this or not…Laura created this magnificent piece on a whim…drop by to see the full transformation…it’s amazing!
While you are visiting Laura…you have to see what she has been up to at her home away from home. She recently visited her sister in Florida and she made the den feel just like home!
Now here is a very interesting change that Laura made in the kitchen. She painted her backsplash and what a difference it makes…you can find out how…it’s really awesome and can make such a change without a huge expense.
Before we leave Laura and her all inspiring blog…check out what Laura has been up to in the kitchen. Laura confesses that she is a terrible eater (her words…not mine : ) drop by to see what she is doing to change that! We’ll be over for a snack Laura! Thanks for the inspiration.

A little extra sparkle was added to the house with this incredible bargain that was found for $6.99. With some tlc…it is a real beauty.
Then this animal loving family lost a very dear kitty Big John to old age. He was a part of their family and he is deeply missed. My heart aches for them. In memory of Big John…they adopted a precious five year old from the shelter that needed much help and as you can see…Rain won the adoption lottery with this family. Thank you for always giving from the heart.
Fly with angels Big John.
