IT'S REAL LIFE...

Jessica from FarmFreshIowa is hosting It's Real Life Thursdays...a chance for others to take a glimpse of each other "In Real Life" Jessica gives a list of items that you are to take a picture of exact as it is..no primping, changing or cleaning and then post the pics on Thursdays...here is this weeks list:


*curb appeal
*junk drawer
*from whence I blog
*favourite jewelry
*best feature





And here are my pictures:


CURB APPEAL

I adore my home.  Simply adore it.  This, however,  is probably my least  favourite part of my home--only because I have so many plans for it, but they all take time and money!!!  For this year, we are saving for the driveway to be paved!! YEAH!!  Next year, we are hoping to put in inter-locking entrance way.  (and the list goes on...**dream**sigh**)


JUNK DRAWER

If you knew me, you would know there is very little junk around here, which explains this junk drawer.  (could one tell from this drawer that I have a pen and lipgloss fetish???)
FROM WHENCE I BLOG

One of two rooms in the house left to "finish"..our office!!  Once summers driveway paving is over, and the cold snow begins to fly, we will move back into the house to finish the office and bathroom!!!  For now, we enjoy the hot summer sun!!  (You can def. tell we are building ourselves from the pencil lines on the wall for the drywall screws..lol.)  
FAVOURITE JEWELRY

 I don't wear jewelry (often).  And if I were totally honest, I don't even wear these rings..but I do love them.
BEST FEATURE

I would have to save my teeth (smile).  God given (no help from the orthodontist!) I have always felt blessed with my teeth!!
And there you have it...this weeks "It's REAL LIFE!!"
