RAMBLINGS FROM A SICK JUNKER :(

AS I LAY HERE IN BED,WITH THERMOMETER, TEA,KLEENEX BOX; I WAS PONDERING A SITUATION THAT HAS KEPT ME WONDERING SINCE I WAS AROUND 12. “TO BE OR NOT TO BE, THAT IS THE QUESTION”.
YOU KNOW HOW WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE & YOUR RELATIVES SAID WHEN SHE GROWS UP SHE’S GOING TO BE…………….OK, MY RELATIVES THOUGHT I’D BE AN ACTRESS, BECAUSE I WAS EXPRESSIVE, AMBITIOUS & CREATIVE. SOME THOUGHT A WRITER, SOME A ROCKETTE…….OH YEA & SOME A NUN, BUT MOSTLY AN ACTRESS. I WAS GOING TO GO TO MODELLING SCHOOL , BUT DECIDED TO GET MARRIED INSTEAD……SO 43 YEARS LATER, WITH ALL THE SILLY THINGS I DO,I PONDER WHAT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN LIKE. I DID HAVE CHANCES FOR THAT ACTING BUG, THEY SLIPPED BY & COME AROUND NOW & AGAIN; I KNOW IT’S NOT TOO LATE, NEVER TOO LATE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE A PASSION FOR. MY PASSION NOW IS TO CREATE “STUFF”, DECORATE PEOPLES HOMES, MOVIE SETS & THE PERK TO DOING BEHIND THE SCENES STUFF IS THAT YOU CAN DO IT ON THE PHONE, INTERNET & NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO WEAR, WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. SO, BEHIND THE SCENES IS GOOD EVEN IF SOMETIMES I DON’T GET CREDIT, I KNOW I DID IT.
FUNNY WHAT WE THINK ABOUT WHEN WE HAVE A FEVER LOL

YOU SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

ACTUALLY, I WAS TRYING TO AVOID IT, BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET ME, SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO. THE BIG "55", TIME TO STOP COUNTING, NO MORE BIRTHDAYS & I LET THEM TAKE PICS WITHOUT MAKEUP AT MY AGE, WHAT WAS I THINKING LOL.

HOUSEHOLD TIPS

* FOR HANDY STORAGE OF TOWELS, USE A WINE RACK AND ROLL TOWELS AND SET ON TOP OF SINK.

*HANKIES ARE EASY TO FIND AT SALES AND ARE INEXPENSIVE; WHEN FRAMED AND HUNG TOGETHER ARE A COLORFUL BACKDROP TO A DULL WALL.

* ANYTHING FROM OLD WOOD BOXES, COOKIE JARS, PITCHERS, ROCKS, LEMONADE COOLERS, EVEN A BOWLING PIN CAN BE MADE INTO A LAMP.

* OLD WOOD AND METAL FILE CABINET DRAWERS MAKE A STURDY PLANTER BOX FOR FLOWERS. LINE WITH PLASTIC AND STONES BEFORE FILLING WITH DIRT.



* VINTAGE TABLECLOTHS MAKE GREAT CURTAINS.



* FOR AN ENTRY WAY, SELECT A CHEST WITH LOTS OF DRAWERS TO STORE EVERYONE'S GLOVES AND SCARVES IN.
* PUTTING A CHAIR NEXT TO THE DRAWERS IS A PERFECT PLACE TO SIT AND READ THE MAIL AND TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF.
* A BRIGHT BOUQUET ADDS COLOR AND MAKES A NICE WELCOMING LOOK.
* INCORPORATING OLD AND NEW OBJECTS GIVES A HOME THAT LIVED IN FEEL.



* BRING THE GARDEN INSIDE BY BRINGING IN A WEATHERED TABLE, WATERING CANS, OR A WHIMSICAL CONCRETE OBJECT.
* INCLUDE FAMILY HEIRLOOMS TO COZY UP A ROOM.
* LOOK FOR WAYS TO ADD TEXTURE SUCH AS SKIRTING A CABINET WITH A FAVORITE FABRIC.
* REMEMBER THAT DECORATING IS A PROGRESSION AND ONE THAT IS NEVER DONE.

* DECORATING WITH SECOND HAND FINDS CAN TURN A COOKIE CUTTER HOUSE INTO YOUR OWN STYLE, SUCH AS ARCHITECTURAL TRIMS AND PIECES.
* OLD BIRDCAGES MAKE UNUSUAL PLANTERS.
* SALVAGED SHUTTERS MAKE GREAT SCREENS AND ROOM DIVIDERS AND CAN HIDE A MYRIAD OF THINGS!
* WEATHERED PAilS MAKE GREAT WINE COOLERS.
* FOR A COTTAGY LOOK PAINT OLD WOODEN HANGERS GREEN AND DECOUPAGE SMALL CUTOUTS OF FLOWER PICTURES ON THEM.

* GATHER FABRIC ON A STRING AND USE IT TO REPLACE THE DOORS ON A
CUPBOARD.



* CREATE AN ARRANGEMENT OF EMPTY PICTURE FRAMES ON A WALL.

* USE AN OLD DOLL BED FOR A BOOKCASE.




* TO PRESERVE AN OLD HOOKED RUG FROM BEING WALKED ON,either hang it on a wall or put on a table.





























* FOR HANDY STORAGE OF TOWELS, USE A WINE RACK AND ROLL TOWELS AND SET ON TOP OF SINK.
