March Mantle

For years, I have had to work with a narrow mantle.  Over a year ago, a church friend/artist redesigned and made a new mantle for us.  Imagine the fun I am having working with this enlarged space!  Seasonal decorating in our home has always been a fun outlet for me.  This picture shows my St. Patrick's Day mantle for this year.  Am I the only one who takes a picture, and even posts it, only to go back and change it in some way?  I guess that's where "Good, Better, Best" comes in.  :)

    1. Is it a dream? Did I really work with you setting up my blog! Hopefully, I was paying attention after my quick nap to remember what you so patiently showed me!

      Love you my mentor/daughter!

    1. Hi Janice!

      Your being there last night made it even more special. I was telling Martha today it was "electric" being in the company of such talented/interesting women! What fun bouncing ideas off of each other! I am grateful for your friendship!

    1. Thanks Mark! Not in your league by any means (love your blog) but I do LOVE to tell people what to do! My blogging is because two of my daughters kept bugging me to do it! Hopefully, it will inspire/motivate others! Especially those who reside in small homes! Endless possibilities! I feel a post on that topic coming soon to Good~Better~Best!

  8. Hi Mom! I thought I commented on your inaugural post the other day, but it's not here. Trying again! I am so excited that you are going to blog! You have so many wonderful ideas, and it will be so great to be able to keep up with all of the lovely things that you do at your house. I can't wait to see where you go from here! Love and best wishes from your non-blogging daughter.
