I’m so handy

HPIM0844.JPGI’m a little bit like Rory from Gilmore Girls. I have books under the bed, in extra drawers, & even on my bookshelf. So I saw this cute shelf at family dollar for $15. I was worried that it would say assembly required. I’m not so good at assembly.

Instead the box said “flip shelves.” These are now the most beautiful words in the English language. The shelves literally just flipped down. It will be so easy to take with me when I move. I said “Ohh I thought there was a third shelf”, then I just flipped the last shelf down. Now I just need to accessorize. I built a bookshelf I’m so handy.

Andy Warhol

I was looking at art.com today & there was a poster like this on the front page:

I loved it & was sure that it had been painted recently. Imagine my surprise when I saw the artist’s name. Can you guess who it is? Well, you probably can because of the post title. In addition to soup cans & movie stars Andy Warhol did some amazing work with flowers.

Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

I know that some people decorate for every single holiday. However, I’m just lucky that the Christmas decorations have been taken down by now. I love to decorate for holidays but by the time I get all of the decorations up & think about having to take them down again, it isn’t fun anymore. Plus, I think it makes the house feel cluttered. I could always just change my blog template, that’s easy decorating. This year I’m just up to putting a picture of a heart in a blog post about how I’m too tired to decorate. Sometimes, less is more.

This blog is now dofollow

I had no idea when I started blogging that most comment links were nofollow, meaning they didn’t get any search engine juice. I’ve decided to try being a dofollower. This means that when you leave a certain number of thoughtful, relevant comments, you’ll get a link to your blog or site. Notice how thoughtful & relevant are italicized? That’s because it’s important. I won’t count comments like “nice post”, but I really do want to hear your opinions on things so comment away. Here is a list of other blogs that dofollow.

Paige Davis is Back

The previews for the new season of Trading Season announce that Paige Davis is back. She looks the same, except she has a mullet now. They are also touting her as a designer. Can we say uh oh? My immediate thought was, great now the show can get back to it’s roots.

Of course TLC had to throw in a twist. Trading Spaces won’t be trading between neighbors anymore, they’ll be trading between people like a mother in law to daughter in law. I guess I’ll give a new format a try. It just seemed like they are bringing Paige back because they knew they made a mistake by switching to a new format. However, they can’t admit they are wrong, so they are making the same mistake again by switching to another new format instead of going back to what works. What do you think? Will the new Trading Spaces be an improvement?
