Have you ever been all over three counties in search of something? 

Want to know the quickest way to find it?

Seriously

So many times I have looked all over God’s creation trying to find that one thingamabob that you need to make your project perfect.  You know, the mad dash in and out of a store looking only for that one and only whatchamacallit.   

My latest example:

Remember this project HERE.

This was not the rod I envisioned.  I settled after a long hard search. {waving white flag}

This is the one I saw in my mind’s eye!!!  {Sing with me… Oh Happy Dayyyyyy}

How did I find it?  I walked in to a little discount store on my search for another whosamadinger and “the one” caught my eye. 

Now my first reaction :    

“Are you kidding me?  Here of all places.  Less than 2 miles from my house.”

The second reaction:

“Oh my lucky stars!!!!! I’ve got to grab this fast and make the switch-a-roo!!!!…….{half way across the parking lot}……what did I come here looking for?”

  2. Isn't that what always happens?? I hate when you settle and then find the perfect thing but it's NOT an easy switch. Glad you found the perfect rod! It's like a whole new project to be excited about!

  3. Carrie, I am sure you get plenty of bloggy-awards, but I left you another one at my blog. I do love all your decorating tips -- very inspirational for me... even though I rarely have the time to follow through!

  4. I sometimes want to show people a sign of a stop sign to tell them to stop and slow down. On a side note I love how you spelled out family with those artistic blocks. Very cool.
