1 sneak peek and what I've learned

Happy Friday and here's one more sneak peek from my new photographs. This amazing old doorknob is from my "crusty" notecard set :) You will notice it hasn't been touched up... I'm not a fan of doctoring photos, so I will rarely touch one up unless I feel it's necessary. For this one I will probably highlight the lovely doorknob detail and enhance the faded color on the armoire just a little. But I keep things as simple as possible in a Photoshop crazy world.
I was thinking back over my week about what I had learned. Well, I was reminded that it's always important to have an equal opportunity household. Everyone gets a chance. There's room for everyone. Everyone is appreciated for exactly who they are. Just don't get near my diet Coke. Especially if it has vanilla syrup in it. I'll knock you clear into next Tuesday.
I was reminded that peace is still worth working towards, and praying for, and keeping close to our hearts. And from several experiences this week I was reminded this regarding our dearest of friends as well. Remember what you learned at camp? Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. I love you my friends And I learned once more - thank heaven above and Lord have mercy! - that cleanliness truly is next to Godliness. I can't even go into this one... I can't even put it into words! I just have to revel in my clean house. My oh-so-very-clean house. I'm reveling. I'm SO reveling.
Oh - and I really miss Sandpoint, Idaho.

P.S. I discovered I was a big fat liar in my last post. Apparently a few of those sneak peek photos have been posted on my blog recently. Whatev ;)

  1. Awesome, clean house, missy. I'm impressed because if the stove is clean...chances are so is the rest of the place! And as far as doctoring photos goes...once you start doing it, you can't stop, so if you don't feel like it...well then don't get started. It's kind of like wearing mascara...it just enhances what is already awesome about something. The enhancing I like the best is contrast and brighten. Have a great day!

  3. Can't wait to see all your notecards that you've been working on! I've been thinking of you all week . . . wondering how your back has been doing and how you've been coping with all your boys going different directions.

    See you soon!
