I just repainted my bathroom too. We kept it pretty neutral and I love it that way. Ours in going to be a work in progress as we are doing all of the work ourselves and trying to work with what we have. I love the sweetness of your bathroom!

Hi Janie, thanks for the shout out! It was a lot of fun trading ideas for both of our spaces! I love the bathroom, it has that farmhouse elegance that is so appealing. I know the family room will turn out great. I, too, am headed to our lake house. Have a great weekend!

I am glad you got to find a good use for the towel ring, Janie. I love how your bathroom is looking and I like the accessories you used. But above all, I want to thank you for your prayers for my mom. I was so scared especially when she was being transported to Jackson with a bleeding head and John tells me I have to be prepared in case she does not make it because it is a very long trip to the hsopital and the bleeding was prtty bad. I am so happy she made it and I believe in miracles now. With bruises all over her body specifically in critical areas (neck, head, hips and arms) and big cut in the head and a brain hematoma, she did not get fractured anywhere. I am so thankful for all the prayers and God's answer...Christine

OT but... Re a comment on my blog here...

I just today noticed that Blogger gives us Stats now! Go to your Dashboard, and click on Edit Posts. There, look at top, for the word Stats. Click on it. You go to all sorts of interesting things, about the "history" of your blog. :-)

Myself, I use free Site Meter. I post nearly daily [because I'm so gabbbby!] and do not get that many comments. [Not-daily-posting can bring in more comments.]

When I feel *sorry for myself,* it helps to check my Site Meter. I can see that I get a LOT more Visits to my blog, each day, than Comments on my blog, each day.

It's silly to get to *feeling sorry for myself,* I know! Silly, silly, silly. But I do sometimes, and I'm honest, I say so. ,-)))))

Another thing one can track is, which days of the week, the most people come to read. If we learn that, and we have something important we want to say, we can pick that [or those] days to post it.

As I said, I have way too much time on my hands, to be doing any of this stuff, even now and then. I know! -gigggles-

There! More than you ever wanted to know, about this topic! ,-)
