Happy

I am happy, thrilled, overjoyed, ecstatic, tickled pink, delighted, rejoicing,

grateful, happy as a pig in mud, mirthful, pleased, smiling, appreciative, hopeful, pleased, thankful, and just generally proud as a peacock! I won a giveaway from the very gracious Michael Lee West at Designs by Gollum. And last week when the dogs stirred up a ruckus, I looked out and saw this

And now I’m singing Happy, happy, joy, joy! I brought it right in the house and found it a home.

I think it’s going to be very happy here :) We’ll make a great team…make beautiful music together…make wonderful things that make us want trade in our swimsuit for a moo moo :)

I predict a long and happy relationship! Thanks Gollum! I am joining Mary at Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.

We Have a Winner

Thank you to all of you who stopped by to wish me a happy blogaversary and enter the drawing for a Fifi original! I carefully assigned the names a number with the correct number of entries and used the Random Number Generator….since everyone else in the house was asleep. The winner(s) is (are!) Allie and Pattie of Bramasole…to yearn for the sun. This is such a fun mother/daughter lifestyle blog. If you have not met them yet, I hope you will soon!

Thanks so much to Fifi at Fifi Flowers. You can find Fifi’s elegant and fun blog here and see more of her gorgeous artwork! Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day.

This is me after the sumptuous brunch at the Peabody Hotel and seeing The Jersey Boys! You can read about my Valentine's date in my previous post. If you get the chance to see it, rush to buy a ticket! It is definitely a winner in our book! Have a great week :)

Lucy and Ethel Do Wheat Grass and a Winner

First let me say thank you to all of you who visited, commented, and entered the giveaway for my 100th post! I have pulled a name out the “hat” and the winner is at the bottom of this post!

I am happy to be joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday. I don’t participate very often except to visit, but I was roped into this one. You may remember that Sunshine, our only daughter, got married last June. Hubby had to go away on business and Beloved was busy, so she invited me for a girl night. When I think of “girl night” I envision this and this

followed by this

or this

But alas, it began with this

and this

I wish I could tell you that Sunshine and I planned and researched for weeks before starting our project. The truth is we are much more like this team

She picked out a color that was actually on the wall at Sherwin Williams-wheatgrass :). I picked out the other bedroom color from one I had seen at a friend's house-camel back. We painted ALL WEEKEND and finished two bedrooms.

This is the guest bedroom. It was empty when she moved in. Sunshine added her own touch with a little Pottery Barn bedding in bright colors she loves. We added Target shades and nightstand. Her in laws are coming for a few days for the Thanksgiving holidays, so we thought it was a good time to spruce it up.

This room will hereafter be referred to as the Wheatgrass In Law Suite :). We painted the master bedroom camel back, hung curtains, and waxed hardwood floors…I don’t have the strength to show you….I will tell you camel back is much more attractive in my hair than wheatgrass is in hers :). Now, on to more important things! Tonight I gathered all the names for the giveaway. I was careful to count each one the proper number of times.

Then I swished and I swirled as much as my exhausted muscles would allow. And I pulled out
