On this date , 10 years ago, my mom lost her battle of cancer. Some days, like the last few days, it seems like yesterday. I miss her so much words cannot even express. She was one of the greatest women I have ever known.

About a year ago or maybe longer, I found a pillow that I absolutely loved. It was blue and brown stripes. Of course, it didn't match anything in my house, so I decided to change my room for this pillow. You always hear on HGTV - "Start with a inspirational piece!" So that is what I did. This has been ongoing since then. It has taken me that long to find a comforter, sheets, etc. Well, this past week, I found the last bit of the set that I needed - the sheets. If you have ever looked for light blue sheets, you know that there are MANY shades of light blue. But I found them last week, so I decided that it was time to paint. I am so happy with the way it turned out.

A couple of weeks ago, I decorated my house for fall. It is one of my favorite times of the year. Enjoy the pictures!

About a week ago, my friend, Wahnee, e-mailed me to let me know that she was having a yard sale today and told me that I could join her if I wanted to. Well, I really did not want to, but I knew that I needed to. Since last Christmas, I have been gradually going through my stuff to see what I could get rid of. Thankfully, I already had the majority of my things together. However, I stayed up until about 1:00 last night getting things ready and got up at 5:00 this morning. Needless to say, I am REALLY tired now, but it was worth it. I made $235 today! I have been wanting to redo my bedroom for a LONG time, so now I think I will soon start. (After I recover from today!)
