I have had the same bedding set now for seven years and I'll have it seven more if it will last. I have to admit that I paid A LOT for it initially, but it was a quality set and still looks brand new! My investment has paid off. But that doesn't mean that I don't like to look now and again and dream of a new look for the room. Here is a site that has some beautiful bedding sets for sale. Now, they are a bit pricey, but I speak from experience that the expensive sets are usually VERY well-made and worth the investment. My husband still doesn't know how much I paid for our bedding ... he doesn't want to know either - LOL! I just remind him that if I average it out over the years, it's not so bad. Plus I haven't had to change the look and he does like that as he doesn't like change very much!
I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, a mom to two wonderful teens, and a daughter of the King. My
current focus is on becoming a better homemaker and caretaker of my home and family. You'll usually find my nose
in a book and I am currently making my first quilt. I love making new friends and comments are always welcome!
I blog when I want to, have the time to do so or the inclination to share something! You'll have to check back often to see
when I update my blog because there is no set schedule for me to do so!

I have had several blogs since I began blogging in 2005.
These awards are for my OTHER blogs, not this one.
However, I am trying to keep them all in one place so am displaying them here!
