I can give you another laugh......over Thanksgiving my cousin and her hubs came. Jean and I painted the living room and the hallway, hung up new pictures and sconces. Ron and I made valance boxes (which I covered with fabric) for both LARGE windows in the living room. A week went by and I finally asked my husbs what he thought of the change in the living room. He had this very confused look on his face....and asked, "What changes?".....uhhhh, the paint, the valances.....Oh - he didn't even see them. HUH? The valances are 5 feet by 18 deep, and there are TWO of them.
Happy holidays to all of you!
