Flooding and Stuff

Wowwwzaaaa time just flies!!

I have been missing for a little while because our

house flooded from a broken pipe ~

We have had the joy of staying in a hotel and being all

discombobulated from life ~

Anyway in amongst painting the main living area of

our house and having no water or flooring .....

I have been able to add a few things to

my website and will be having

a freebie with purchase soon ( like tomorrow ) so make sure

and sign up on my website mailing list for the scoop ~





I am so excited to decorate for Christmas and my crafting supplies

are definitely calling my name ~

I am hoping next week our house

will be back in shape again ~

Did someone say FREE with purchase? This is me waiting...grrr...But, did you go with a new paint color in the house? ~Mindy

Angela said...

Oh no, that's the pits, isn't it? I'm glad it's almost over.

Rebecca said...

Oh sweetie...I've been there. Our downstairs flooded on Mother's Day morning. And...my hubby was our worship leader at the time and couldn't even make it to church. Horrible day.

Before long life will be back to normal.

Thinking of talented you.

Love, Rebecca

Oh Lori, I am so sorry to hear about your flooding! This time of the year is difficult enough with all the extra hustle & bustle without adding that work & stress. Hope it all is done soon & the up side is hope you love the colors you choose & maybe you got some new carpet out of the deal!!!! Gotta look for that bright side don't ya? HUGS!

Does this mean new creamy paint colors or something. I know you are wanting to redecorate, maybe someone is listening up there. Glad it's all getting better. Don't work too hard.

Awww man....sorry about the flooding! What a terrible time of the year to have that happen!!!

About the blue Buffalo dog food you asked about...its fabulous stuff! Its natural and holistic so it doesn't have all the crap most dog foods do. Neither of my shihts have any tears and they used to tear a lot. No tears, not just no staining (vet told me about that stuff that keeps the tears from staining but being leery of giving them something, I haven't tried it.) The blue Buffalo is expensive but readily available at petsmart ...I highly recommend it. And the dogs love it!

Oh no Lori!!! So sorry about your flooding! I hope all is going well getting everything back in order. Our furnace was only blowing COLD AIR and we noticed it right before hubby was to leave for church Sunday morning so needless to say he had to stay home and work on it. Still counting our blessings though!!
