Have you ever had a project that you dreamed up in your brain?

That you hoped would work?

That you stood on your toes and crossed your fingers and wished with all your might that it turned out like you pictured it?

And then it did?

I literally cannot WAIT to show you the DIY we are working on for the House for Hope.  It is so much cuter and better and hope-like than I ever imagined.  I’m posting all the details and the how-to’s and the supplies on Monday.

Save a blank wall in your home. 🙂

I’ve listened and laughed and learned something and listened some more.

    Karianne, Your "Sweetest Love Story" brought tears and memories . Today would have been my 70th wedding anniversary,but my sailor passed away just after our 66th. I watched him sail away and return for 27 years . Then retirement and a new life. Both adventures were different and good..mainly because of the sailor with his twinkling blue eyes who never in those 66 years ever said a cross word to me....My Mother said he was absolutely bound for Sainthood.

    Thistlekeeping is always my best source for weekend entertainment! You never fail to supply wonderful things to explore that I would not find on my own, or even know where to look for them. Burlap anything is perfection! Thank-you for another delightful Thistlekeeping.

    I love your blog, it's always so happy and uplifting. This was the first time I ever listened to the podcasts that you linked to and enjoyed every minute. I'm driving around doing errands and listening and talking to myself and agreeing and disagreeing. It was awesome. There are actually women out there that understand me, that are like me. It's just so enlightening and exciting. My husband, who I love dearly just does not get the ever changing home decor, nor do most of my friends so this was great to listen to!!
