This is some sort of creative endeavor to record the ordinary and maybe something extraordinary will appear.

Surfing tags for a few minutes this morning and yours popped up.
Intrigued by the “makeover’ kitchen pictures, I scrolled down to see your centerpiece (nice) and the bookstore.

A blog reader (rather than the newspaper) and often a blogger as well, I am happy to have yours to read with morning coffee before bolting to the corporate office scene.

Hi Carrie,

I had mixed feelings about blogging too when I started – but it grew on me and became slightly addictive. I see my blog as a kind of online diary where I log my life (the good bits, bad bits and everything in between). I like to think that when I am old I will be able to relive my life by reading my blog – and also members of my family in the future will be able to read about me. Imagine how you would feel if you could now read the blog of your grandmother who lived over a 100 years ago … well that’s what our grandchildren yet unborn will be able to do, providing we don’t delete our blogs. A blog is a type of social history book, isn’t it? I’m sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he’d write a blog! Now there’s a thought … fancy being able to read Shakespeare’s blog?

I started blogging myself to promote my book (I wrote and published a novel in 2006) which worked well. But there are drawbacks, because I’m identifiable as the author, which means I don’t feel free to bare my soul! I often wish I’d started an anonymous blog – then I could really say what I feel all the time. I do write protected posts from time to time so I can get stuff off my chest! LOL! I give the password to these posts to a selective few blogging friends that I trust.

Sorry if I’ve rambled. I wasn’t going to leave a comment but then I read you words: leave a comment so I know you were here. So I have!

Best wishes.

I, like everyone else on this comment list, appear to have stumbled onto your blog by pure luck. I love it. Thanks for sharing the little bits and snippits of your day. And even more, for your creative edge. I will admit – I plan to head out to the hobby shop this weekend and start my own version of a mini. So thanks for the spark of creativity/craftiness.
A little of my own, music-wise – I found this new song by Ingrid Michaelson last night called “The Chain”. I seem to like some of the same tunes as you, so I thought I might pass it along.

Thanks again – libby

Hi Carrie,

I just saw a dresser you rehab’d for a bathroom vanity on Designsponge.
I have the identical dresser in my garage waiting for a bathroom remodel that is waaaay overdue.
I noticed that you kept the wood top of the dresser. I thought I would have to trade it out for something more durable to water but I was enthused when I saw yours in the original form.
Can you tell me how you treated it and if you used a marine grade product to seal the wood?
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated too!

Best of luck to you.
Katie
