Living with the pain of grief


I attended a workshop on Saturday, "Living with the Pain of Grief". This workshop was sponsored by Beth Marcello at her business eLearningK12 in Thibodeaux, LA. I can't say enough about it. There was laughter and tears and a few skeptics that are now hard core believers. It is comforting to be connected to your lost loved ones and to interact with others who are living with grief. I can't say enough about Bhrett and MaryJo McCabe. http://www.maryjomccabe.com/ I met others who are dealing the loss of someone they love and I was drawn to several that I believe will be lifelong relationships. I have come to realize that there is no such thing as a chance meeting. I went to this workshop because it was in Thibodeaux and that is where Jordan was born, it just seemed like it was meant to be. Everything happens for a reason !

I am so excited

Sadie Olive Designs is going to design my blog. I am a visual learner and just can't do this on my own. I would love any suggestions that anyone has for me about blogging. Oh my, this ain't gonna be pretty.

furniture redos

These nightstands sold in one day!

This lowboy was in terrible shape - so sad.
Just a little help from the hubby and some TLC from yours truly and she is gorgous.

This childs chifferobe is beautiful.


Did you see this desk on the trailer?
Bet you didn't recognize it.



This little french provincal nightstand didn't last long either.





The last haul from Canton















This was our first time to haul a trailer and boy am I glad we did. (we usually cram in all inside and on top of the suburban-scary !!!) Now, I have tons of furniture to paint and make pretty. This was the weekend after Thanksgiving Day and we had a fabulous time.
