When I was making those clay tags, there was no noise in the house. No music. No TV. No people. It was bliss. I'm learning to like the peace and quiet more and more because I can talk to God and listen to him better. :) And I find myself praying for others more often as I'm crafting. I just love it.... :) Looking forward to hearing about you breathing new life into that chair and your mantel, and watching you transform your daughter's room. I know they will all be beautiful ---- just like your new profile pic! ♥ Happy New Year, sweets!<br /><br />xoxo laurieHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094391411974678162.post-65769667061789835042010-12-30T21:46:46.973-05:002010-12-30T21:46:46.973-05:00I'm looking for a chair just like that to reco...I'm looking for a chair just like that to recover for my 3rd baby's room!

So I simplify by ordering a lot of things online and avoiding it when I can. It makes a big difference in my anxiety level. But then I'm one of those people that can listen to silence all day!
