The warmer temps we are having these days 

has urged me outside...

looking at all the outside projects that we need to begin...

to complete.......

More work......

It is hard to find time for posting.....

The busyness has taken away my inspiration....

One of the things I love about visiting other blogs

is they seem to "Inspire" me........

 with wonderful decorating idea.....

To Inspire......

1.  To fill (someone) with the urge 
2. or ability to do or feel something,

esp. to do something creative.

Synonyms:

Stimulate, motivate, encourage

move, stir, energize,

influence

I think my "Inspire...ation" for my home has been a little off these days.....

In the past 10 years we have remodeled 3 different style homes....

Remodel:

To change the structure or form of something...

I AM TIRED!

A little Frustrated.......

DEFINITELY "UNINSPIRED"!

I need someone.....

Something....

 to "INSPIRE" me......

Or

Perhaps....

A vacation...

Or

Little men who come out

while we are fast asleep

and

do all the work.....

Leaving me with carefree days...

Yes...

It is storybook fantasy....

I can dream can't I?

I will trudge on....

completing one job at a time....

feeling as if my
"Inspire...ation"....

Is a little off....

Meanwhile....

I could use a boost....

Possibly a push......

I need beautiful pictures.....

Great ideas.......

I need "INSPIRE...ATION"

I Thessalonians 5:11

Therefore encourage one another 

and build one another up, 

just as you are doing.

So come on girls......

Help a gal out.....

Inspirational Blessings Needed!

 I love boxes and baskets.....

Doesn't everyone?

Old ones...

new ones....

large or small...

any color...

any texture...

They are just perfect to store things in......

 This old tool box sits on a serving table in my dining room...

It holds two sets of dishes.....

out of the way.....

until I need them......

They can also be the perfect accessory for your home....

I mean every girl loves a little something extra with her outfit......

This old gathering basket looks perfect on this farm chair....

Please ignore the dust....

This old crate..... 

A great place for your keys as you enter the door.....

They can serve as both accessory and storage......

I love these old picnic baskets.....

You can fill them up...

they look great sitting under my perky blue table...

How about using baskets as filler for shelves

Not so messy...

and not so much dusting....

but lots of hiding of "stuff"~

And I love the round blue baskets.....

A surprise pop of color....... 

Baskets and boxes are great for hiding things away...

The perfect place to get rid of the mess...

The things we do no need everyday....

The things we hang on to...

even though we do not really need them.....

If only you could see inside.....

Not so pretty....

As it is with our lives...

If only others could see what we are hiding inside....

The hurts...

The pain..

Unforgiveness...

anger...

Bitterness...

Bad choices....

Bad decisions....

Not so pretty....

Regardless of how good our cover up job is....

God knows...

He sees all...

There is no hiding....

Take time to talk with God...

Allow him to get into the innermost part of your heart...

To see what others do not...

Regardless of the mess we make....

He loves us...

I am so thankful he sees the beautiful..

The potential...

Not the mess.........

Micah 7:18

There is no other God like you! 

You forgive sin 

and pardon the rebellion 

of those who remain among your people. 

You do not remain angry forever,

 but delight in showing loyal love. 

Eph. 1:7 

He is so rich in kindness

 that He purchased our freedom through the blood of His Son, 

and our sins are forgiven.

BLESSINGS!
