Oh he is a wonderful artist! I enjoyed seeing all your blue in your yard and house. I paint all kinds of yard art/chairs, etc. blue outside. I have blue willow in my kitchen. I enjoyed seeing your lovely home.

Thank you Sooner and Lilsophie!

I do love blue and white china but wonder what will happen to it when I can no longer care for it!

DH is a talented artist and also does some woodworking (made a violin and lots of bows for archery) He also makes model airplanes. We have 14 or so hanging in the room where I also display a lot of blue and white china.

We just enjoy our homes while we can and not worry about the "later care". That's what I decided. I keep dragging home stuff from estate/garage sales and my kids say "mom!You don't need any more junk". I tell them I'm doin' it for them. It will make them closer when they're fighting over it after I'm gone. LOL

Always fun to revisit this thread and see everyone's great homes.

Love your attitude, I'll have to tell this to my kids altho I've already downsized quite a bit for my own pleasure. I figure when I have much less stuff I can start to buy more just for fun!

Hey, we were all where you are at one time and it's not very difficult to post photos to an online site such as Shutterfly or Photobucket. I'll post the links to both and you can just follow the instructions to create your album.

Shutterfly: http://www.shutterfly.com/home/index1.jsp
Photobucket: http://photobucket.com/

Jo, not sure if I can guarantee fame but I'm sure we'd all love to see your pics! LOL

Anyone who wants their photo album added to this thread only needs to leave a message on the thread and I'll add it. Please make it a separate public album from your family photos.
