I'm tearing up! *sniff* You are so ...Ohhhh, Pippa! I'm tearing up! *sniff* You are so thoughtful! I feel right at home in your home, though! Your home is our home! You are so right, it is in my blood and I think it would drive me bonkers to buy an "already done" house. No matter what, it just wouldn't be me. <BR/><BR/>All those little piles of things here and there in your photos - yes - that's our house! And I wish we could blame it all on remodeling. Wherever there is a surface, it seems that "stuff" just falls and wants to stay! I use to be a tidy person (or tidier than I am now, I should say) but not now...hehe. <BR/><BR/>I have to say that I still think your house is so very charming and I can see why bought it. You guys are doing a great job fixing it! Even with the little quirks you mentioned (the "tumor" LOL!), it's brimming with personality! Your hallway to the new bedrooms is how I want our hallway to look someday - that beadboard sure makes a difference, and I love it in your "library", too. Our books are currently stacked at various places throughout the house. Someday we'll have bookcases! You may think your girl's room looks untidy (her furniture is so pretty!), but you should see my 12 yo girl'room. I understand! <BR/><BR/>This entry of yours really means a lot to me. I didn't know I was the first blog you ever read! I sure am enjoying your blog - your kitchen transformation is so inspiring to me. The recent photos with the sink and new faucets are just beautiful. You guys should be so proud!<BR/><BR/>Thank you again - you're the sweetest! You made me smile!Kim @ Twice Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563623309334980893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37820384.post-34968731476026829632007-02-22T18:29:00.000-05:002007-02-22T18:29:00.000-05:00Jordana,That fish pillow drives me crazy! My dad ...Jordana,<BR/><BR/>That fish pillow drives me crazy! My dad (an avid fisherman) bought it for his birthday and he does love it. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>And, no, unfortunately, my name is not really Pippa. It's a nickname that has nothing to do with my real name! I had been whining about my boring real name not being English enough (I'm an Anglophile) so my sister started calling me Pippa. I used it as a screen name for something and it stuck. So it has become my online persona, if you will.<BR/><BR/>Believe me, my real name is so generic and boring, no one would be able to tell me apart from anyone else! Is it any wonder I think your daughter's name and nickname are just darling? Lucky girl!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by!Pippajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651166001450622296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37820384.post-18387928510227256012007-02-22T17:35:00.000-05:002007-02-22T17:35:00.000-05:00I had to laugh when I saw the fish pillow.

My four year old is Philippa and we call her Pippa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37820384.post-64910245707857038902007-02-22T15:05:00.000-05:002007-02-22T15:05:00.000-05:00You are so sweet to share your pictures with us li...You are so sweet to share your pictures with us like Kim did.
