In fact I have a blank wall above my sofa that I just try not to look at. I don't know what to do there and I'm tired of thinking about it. :>{<br />I'm glad to hear of a company that gives good customer service, it is rare as hens teeth anymore.

Out of the box can be just as delicious - and it allows me more time to play. So now, I'm happy to use mixes. The kiddos won't remember or care how I made their meals special. But - if I were always in the kitchen and had no time to play with them, they might remember that. Play time, story time and tea party time are just too important. So - boxes are family friendly. They allow us more family time. I love that.Patty Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963555227831970190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-70668639431763437782013-11-22T09:32:05.977-06:002013-11-22T09:32:05.977-06:00Your lamp is exactly the one I would have chosen t...Your lamp is exactly the one I would have chosen too. I have used that pumpkin bread mix before and love it too! We had a wall like that once which was in our foyer and we had a light hanging from the ceiling right there. We hung a nice painting of a mountain, Fall trees and a duck flying. It looked perfect on the large, wall. I could also see a gallery of family pictures also.<br /><br /> Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16947736452675597121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-42816973427393639922013-11-22T07:24:41.571-06:002013-11-22T07:24:41.571-06:00Oh My!!

Love your pumpkin bread-I have not seen that mix here will have to look for it. Just a thought for you on the stairway. If it is narrow don't hang anything that sticks out very far-it will be bumped every time someone goes up or down. I have had two stairwells similar to that and I purchased a "scene" that went on like wallpaper- yeah- you will need help but it is a one time only thing. Because it was completely FLAT to the wall and the "scene" was one that had depth it made the stairwell feel a LOT wider. Here is a link but there are several places that sell them-including Home Depot from a book. Make sure you order PRE pasted though-and they run sales on them all the time. Just a thought-<br />http://www.muralsyourway.com/?gclid=CIfc5qeR97oCFetAMgodbjkAwgNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-7965360709941258782013-11-21T18:14:55.684-06:002013-11-21T18:14:55.684-06:00glad you were able to do a lamp exchange w/o recei...glad you were able to do a lamp exchange w/o receipt.TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-67380832403391580382013-11-21T18:07:34.228-06:002013-11-21T18:07:34.228-06:00BJ, I love all things pumpkin!
