Special Request

I received an e-mail from a gal by the name of Brenda. She had such sweet comments to say about my blog and she had a special request. She said that she started following my blog when I had my ladder in my kitchen as my header on my blog. She doesn't have a blog herself, but she wanted me to share the picture again. So, per your special request...... here is the ladder that I have hanging from my kitchen ceiling. My ceilings definitely aren't vaulted and it isn't a fancy house by any means, but it was a home that I bought on my own before I met my husband so it is working for us until we are able to afford something bigger and more beautiful. Anyway, I purchased the old ladder in Amish country for about $6.00 or $8.00 and it is covered in old paint and it is very prim and rustic. Perfect for any prim home! I decorated is with red berries that I have never taken off since I put it up there and added some small Longaberger baskets, antique kitchen utensils and some dried green beans that I made awhile back. You should be able to click on the picture for a closer look. Hope this answers any questions that some of you might have.
We took Cameron to the zoo today. It was beautiful, sunny and 86 today and we had a great time! I would share more pictures however after seeing myself today.... I personally don't think I need to eat anymore for years! Ah yeah, I think I could live off my blubber for at least a couple years or so. It has definitely opened my eyes to me getting up outta my chair and eating better and exercising. So, here is a picture of Cameron and I. We have a membership at the zoo so we try to take him frequently and we have so much fun. I never really thought that after dealing with years and years of infertility that I would be enjoying such great things with a child of my own. He is definitely the best gift that I could have ever asked for and prayed for. Such a miracle!! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Your ladder is just lovely
Lisa. But how do you dust the berries? I read somewhere that in the winter you can take dried flowers and such out tin the snow and dip them up and down. To get the dust off. I am allergic to dust
so I think that is why I
always think now I di I dust that. :=)

You look good Lisa! One of first things that I thought when I found your blog was - "Oh, she looks so happy"!! And your little guy is really cute. I think he looks like you.
Thanks for a wonderful blog.
