My Microsoft Outlook Inbox has 152 emails sitting in it right now. This will disgust anyone who has read Getting Things Done and for that I apologize. This morning I have been going through the emails from my father and one of them had this video attached. I laughed outloud!!!

The video does not depict the real Senator Collins or any other actual government spokesperson.

Without fail the words “touch of whimsy” were used in every episode. It seems that there are defined elements one thinks of when planning a decorating masterpiece: color, space, and touches of whimsy.

A month or so ago my sweet Honey told me that the decorating of our home had taken a turn since we moved into this house. His words were, “It lacks a certain touch of whimsy.”

I could have been mad (I am sure I was a bit touched off by it) but as I looked around the house I saw what he meant. The kitchen was STARK and needed so much help. Enter the precious curtains memom helped make and now these:
