That booth is over the top. Love how it all turned out.
Unbelievable how wonderful it looks with your things and
Sue's. I am really kicking myself that I did not venture
downtown to see it in person. What was I thinking?

Carolyn

Cassie
Really beautiful desk. I have to echo what everyone else
has said about the legs. Wow, do they ever make the piece.
It sure looks like a wonderful work space for you.
Have a great winter creating. I hope to see you again
in the summer.
Carolyn

Andrea
Your tablescape looks fantastic. I love how you made such good use out of discarded sheet music. What a great and
simple idea. Great way to use your much loved numbers. You
would be so easy to buy gifts for with your love for numbers.
It was so good to see you again a few weeks ago. Let's do
it again next year.

Carolyn

Sue

This is so creative, love it. The water bottle and writing on the top is fantastic. Talk about a cheery bunch of flowers.

Congrats on the DVD and magazine. Watched the DVD this weekend. Loved it. You all did a wonderful job.
Also, congrats on the 1700 plus junkers now on your site.
Amazing what has transpired in a few months time.

Wow, is that a fantastic lamp. I cannot believe the
transformation. I would snap up the paris version in
a heartbeat. The fringe look however, I am sure I would
have passed on and not had your great insight.
Great job.

The old worktable is fantastic. It's so wonderful when you can re-use something in your home that has special meaning/memories for you. It looks great in your living room/creative space.

Carolyn

MissMelis

Really cute and functional idea. I love this type of
little purse. I use one all the time. Mine is not quite as
stylish as this however.

Carolyn

Gretchen

These all look fantastic. They really photograph well.
I just saw all of these in person today. They are
beautiful. This girl has some crazy talent. I was lucky enough to receive one as a very special Christmas present.
Everyone on the site is going to love your creations.

Carolyn

Janis

This is really beautiful. Great inspiration for me.
You can't beat a great piece of silver. I sure wish
I could hold up as good as this piece for 99 years.
Great style. Thanks again.

Carolyn

Unbelievable! Everyone likes to shop. Everyone needs
something new and fresh every now and then. It makes us
feel alive. What a fantastic thing you are doing. It must
put a smile on your face to roll on up to the next stop.
Not everyone has wheels when they get up in age. Why not
bring the wheels to them.

Carolyn

Jenny

Love the boys. You are one talented lady. So much thought
and such little pieces. You are such an amazing artist.

Carolyn

Jenny

I so love your wisdom gal. What a great idea. This would
be such an awesome gift for young women graduating from
high school, a gift for going off to college or any other
occasion. It just gives such a positive message and visually you can tell she is a smart cookie.
You must be selling these. I think I need to email you.

Carolyn

Talk about a beautiful office. It would be a pleasure
to show up at work each day. Love what you have done.

Carolyn

Lanette

Too cool. Sue needs to get on this site. She now
has two projects highlighted. Everyone would just love
all of the funky projects she does.

Carolyn

Candy

What an awesome project. I can't believe you found such
a cute short toboggan. I thought they only came in the
super long size. Wow! are those kids cute. Love the
display. I can truthfully say, I would have never thought
of this idea.

Carolyn

Amber

I so love your bird feeder. Very creative design. In the past few years this has been my new passion. Those pesky squirels are not going to be able to chew through this! Very
different found items you have put in your design. Those sure would sell well in the midwest.

Carolyn

Janis

I love your gift wrapping ideas. They look just beautiful.
You have done a great job of staging your things to photograph. Really beautiful. Love the idea with the frames and the mirror.

Carolyn

Candy

Wow! is all I can say. Love your things. You would never know that you got them so inexpensive. You sure have a
great knack of displaying. I will be using a few of your
ideas for myself in the next few days.

Carolyn

Very cool idea. Love how they all turned out. That is
my idea of a project, no sewing involved.

Carolyn

Love this. Your red metal tool box was an awesome find.
Thanks for the inspiration on the greens. I have never thought of using trimmings from my boxwoods.

Carolyn

Janis

We have the greatest spot west of where Gretchen, Lanette and I live. It is only 1/2 an hour away. Once a month these shops in Buffalo, Minnesota open up the 1st Thursday thru Sunday. They have created and shopped for new finds all month long. It is so wonderful, we have a blast. Gretchen and Lanette are pros and have been going to Buffalo for years. Lanette actually sells in a shop in Buffalo. If you are ever in good old Minnesota, we could hook you up for a fantastic weekend.

Carolyn

Jenny
This is really a cool design. I love the quote and the
old piece the quote fits inside. You are so talented.

Carolyn

Georgia

This is just over the top. You really thought about this
one. Too cute.

Carolyn

Lanette

This looks really nice. I bet it looks fabulous in your
bathroom. Man, that scale sure gets changed out a lot. Love
it. Gretchen did an awesome job on your gift. The green moss goes so well with your color scheme this year.

Carolyn

Gretchen

Wow, you sure did make your collar with your beading in mind. Lots of work involved. It looks great.

Carolyn

Candy

This is such a darling idea. Your girls are beautiful, love their names as well. Such a cute idea with the photo card.
Just so creative.

Carolyn

Gretchen

Love your fun creation. It just pops with the green from
the house. I cannot get over how great your house color shows up on all of your pictures. Very creative as usual.

Carolyn

Janis
What a great display. The skates are darling and the
red just pops. Love it.
Carolyn

Janis

Wow, this is so beautiful. So pretty and displayed so nice. All of the things you post are so wonderful. You do such a great job displaying and photographing. Gretchen and I
talk about you and your style all the time.

Carolyn

Jenny
I just had to write you again. I can't get this piece
out of my head. Love it so much, I came back to give it
another look see. I just can't get over the quote. If it was for sale, I would have to have it.

Carolyn

Kari
Love how warm and cozy your room looks. Beautiful white molding around the windows and doors. Love the display
area between the window and door. Lots of wonderful treasures on the shelves I can tell.

Carolyn

Gretchen
Your skates turned out so wonderful. The laces are great as well as your fur trim. I love them.
Beautiful wrap you are using this year and those tags are priceless. Quite the theme you have going on.
What a wonderful picture it takes. I am so impressed how it all turned out. It's only minus 4 today. Send some Florida warm on Thursday.

Carolyn

Candy
This project is just beautiful. It is such a professional
looking display. It could be in a magazine or fun shop. I know of a couple shops it would look great in. It just pops with your beautiful white woodwork in the background.

Carolyn

Midge

Your display is wonderful. Love it. It is amazing the
items we come across and how great they look displayed.

Carolyn

Georgia
The name of my town is pronounced Now-then. Very funny,
I know. Back in the early 1900's, a man had summited some
names for the town. When all were rejected, he summited
more. He wrote Nowthen, how about these names. Now your
road is a funny one. I'll bet you have had a lot of
fun with that one.
Thanks for your nice comments.

Carolyn

Jenny

This is so creative. I just love how you put this together.
I will be using this quote in the future. Love it.

Carolyn

Debbie

I am so sorry to hear of your parents passing. That is
a lot for me to digest. My heart goes out to you. These
are going to be some tough days ahead for you and your
family. I am not sure if you have some good information
on the grieving process. I have some great information
passed along to me from the hospice center. Please
let me know if I can pass it along to you. It helped me so much.
Be good to yourself and allow yourself some time to feel good again.

Carolyn

Lanette
I am so glad my daughter and I were able to see your
home on the holiday home tour. You have a very beautiful
home and your holiday decorating was just wonderful. It is
a lot of work and we appreciate it. Thanks for being such
a warm and inviting hostess. We had a really nice time.
We also got an extra bonus meeting Sue Whitney. Here my
daughter is only 24 years young and has already met Sue.
Her comment to me when we left your house, "I did not
realize Sue was so famous". It was special.
Thanks again.
Carolyn

Midge

Thanks so much for the nice comments.
Those first holidays are some tough times to get through.
You really have to dig deep. I sure found out what I was
made of through my dad's illness and death. My thoughts are
with you. I will have to tell you, that garden space has
been so cathartic for me. I have spent a large portion of
my summer in that space, planting, mulching and talking
out loud to my dad. I highly recommend it. Find something
that works for you and heals you.
I have a great letter that was sent to me on the one
year anniversary of his death. It was sent from the hospice
area of the hospital. I would love to send you a copy, if
you would like. It really helped me.
Carolyn

Thanks for the nice comments Elaine.
My husband is a Machinest by trade. It is the first time
he had ever attempted something like this.
I have to tell you, that doing this project ruined his golf
swing for the rest of the summer.

Carolyn

Gretchen, I can't believe I passed up on purchasing some of those Christmas bulbs from Julie's sale. What a big
mistake. It is so nice that you took pictures of that home tour. You really forget a lot of what you see. So much to take in.

Carolyn
