Wednesday Was...

...rough.

Way too tired to do any real thinking just now. So, here are some pics from Country Living Magazine that made it to my inspiration wall this weekend. Christmas decorations are being gathered at our house. I couldn't wait any longer to enjoy the white Christmas lights so I hung some in Sebastian's room yesterday. They're getting us through the gray days we've had this week.





On Thursday, I plan to:

* Write back to Amber
* Organize deadlines for the next three months
* Research patterns for a special project
* Do the dishes and laundry
* Take Sebastian on a long walk
* Sew another door snake to keep the drafts out
* Ship out PonyParty orders
* Shower
* Finish rearranging Sebastian's room
* Watch an episode of Mad Men with Brett before we crash and start all over again on Friday

Wish me luck!

-p.s. Have you seen the Anthro catalogue yet? They get it right every single time.

Hi Rachel... i sure hope that you get some good rest! i am going through the two magazines i just got in the mailbox today (yay, love that!) and since i've been in training, going to do a similar post since i've already dog-ear'd the pages that will be hitting the inspiration files.

your Thursday list inspired me to do one of my own....

- finish the dishes & do the laundry (yep, me too)
- send note of apology to my friend Melanie
- learn how to make a door snake!!! i keep the two spare bedrooms closed during the winter but there is a good 1 inch gap below each so the cool air from those rooms just pours out into the rest of the house... never, ever thought of a door snake! but that's why i come here, for inspiration and lovely things and sure enough, i got it again today.

good luck on your list! hugs to you!

Hi.
You're so inspiring and I have no doubt that it must be tough to have such a "public" life when life doesn't feel good.
I just wanted to let you know that you are an amazing soul and that soul is valued and will be taken care of.
Thanks for being awesome. :)

Oh, ♥ the inspiring photos...Hunt has some of those 'ruler rulers'! I hope you'll keep putting up Christmas pretties b/c I am still packing away Halloween decorations and I need a good kick in the holiday spirit!
Here's to a happy Thursday...my Wednesday was kinda lame, too.

Wishing you a lovely Thursday!

I cut up a 2005 Anthro catalogue and made a birthday card out of it for my husband a few years back. Maybe I'll do the same this year.

Thanks for your everlasting inspiration.

Ohh, I love that last picture, the napkins hanging on the clothes line on the wall. Soooo pretty. That 1st pic is a real treasure too but I am so not ready for the holiday season. I hope you are on track on your Thursday list. I had a 4 day weekend (cost me 1 vacation day) over the Veterans Day Holiday and made a to do list with 12 items on it. I got all but 2 done, pretty sweet if you ask me. Have a good one!!
