I promise you I have not disappeared forever! I have a camera with more than 500 photos on it to download and edit, and about 5 posts in the wing not quite finished and ready to go!

First off, I just have say, Thank You so MUCH for all of your sweet comments,both on here and Facebook from my previous post!It's so comforting to know that I don't always have to act like we have it all together,and that "reality"is familiar state for all of us :)I was so touched by all of your sweet words,and just wanted to express THANKS from the bottom of my heart!Ok,now onto some pretty Pins!I've always loved cedar shake siding, and this one is a show stopper.I dream someday about having a fireplace at the end of our bed,but we would have to do some serious remolding at this house to make that a reality,but it's still nice to dream!via: House BeautifulI really like the serene ...
