I had to share this.......

I was just going through rate my space and found a rug we custom made for a client last year.

Look at that adorable baby & cute dog! Looks like they love the rug!!

What in the World???

HMMMMMMM...............

Are you SERIOUS, judges?????

Do you really think Antonio was more talented than Dan???

I'm flabergasted that Candice, Vern, and Genevieve that they voted for

Antonio to be the HGTV Design Star!!

What in the world were they thinking?? Do you think this was fixed somehow??

I'm sorry Dan, I would have voted for you in a heartbeat! You are the real talented designer!

Anyone else feel the same way as I do??

Sorry, there has been a delay!

I know I told you to come by Monday for a surprise guest blogger, but unfortunately my guest blogger has had a family emergency. So as soon as she gets settled she will be my guest blogger.

Here is another "hint" for you.......she is a designer.

Any guesses??

Hooked On Candles...and a SALE!

Hi, my name is Darlene and I am hooked on candles!

I believe scents conjure up memories. If a memory is related to a certain scent depending on whether that memory was good or not will most likely determine if you like that scent.

What scent conjures up the best happy memory for you?

I remember when I was around 19 and just started working at a great new job. I went out and bought myself a new Wamsutta comforter, new sheets, and new pillows. I also bought one of those lamp rings that you fill with fragrance oil. The oil was by Claire Burke and I'm not sure the scent, but I think it was her original scent. It smelled so heavenly! That scent has locked in my memory that day of feeling so proud of myself buying my own bedding and decorating my room!

Now, in my home I love using candles & oils that have clean fresh scents especially in the spring & summer. In the fall I love an orange spice scent (but not too much cinnamon). In the winter I love a balsalm or christmas treee scent.

Yankee Candle Company is having a Buy One Get One FREE Sale!!!

I have never tried a Yankee Candle. I buy most of my candles from Bath & Body Works (daughter works there and gets discounts)

Have you tried Yankee Candles? If so, what is your favorite scent?

I'm thinking of getting Storm Watch (that sounds like a nice clean scent)

and I get to choose 1 more for FREE...what other scent do you suggest??

Hmmm, I wonder how Fireside smells??

What are you hooked on?

See what other people are hooked on at Julia's Hooked On Fridays linky party.
