It's a Mystery!

It's a mystery how Anna Grace's room will eventually appear!

What with a house we are blessed to lease, inherited bedroom furniture that we need to get from Georgia, a girl whose favorite color is pink but whose dream is to have the

80 year old sub-culture icon,

Nancy Drew

- Girl Mystery Detective,

as her theme...

I'm Clueless!!!

Pamela Sue Martin

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys 1970's

Does any one know where I can find Colombo, the Hardy Boys, Agatha Christie...

I'll even settle for

Angela Lansbury!!!!

Don't bother reading this blog unless you are fluent in the French language!

... I just need a Decorating Detective!!!

Surely, HGTV has a private eye that can fingerprint their way thorough my dilemma! Until I can hire the professionals, though, I'll just settle for ameture sleuth, me, and gather what bits of evidence I can find to give Anna Grace her "Nancy Drew" suite!

This is the mural I made using my Silhouette SD Machine! This is above her bed. I know it is a little busy, but it gets the theme across and I couldn't get the silhouette as big as would have liked. This is a depiction of the Hidden Staircase book cover. Anna has 2 of those books and a post card of this picture. When we figure what bed is going in her room, I'll be able to get a bedspread and post a picture of the whole scene.

This is an impromtu window treatment made using the existing sheers and Christmas gifts that never made it to the recepients...my sisters' black scarves. That beautiful picture is a personal favorite of mine and is only on lone to Anna Grace. I thought the lady looked like Nancy Drew.

More Pictures to come as I continue the investigation of

The Case of the Nancy Drew Bedroom!!

Shared from another website. I agree that this is what we ladies often do, draw attention to the negative that would have never been noticed. Thank you, Oragnizing Junkie!

Once in Tarabethian style, I wandered on a fall walk through the woods with a couple of friends. We came upon an old pre-civil war dated log cabin. An amish family lived there. And just like the bravest of Goldilocks, we knocked on the door and asked to use their restroom. They were kind folk and gave us the history of their cabin saying it had been a tavern used as a hospital in the civil war. Well, after the tour they asked if they could walk a ways with us in the wood! We set off and a little ways we came to a huge ravine. Then ravine was probably a few hundred feet deep and was covered in crisp fall leaves. Our new friends led us to a tree where they had the most interesting swing attached. After demonstrating the way it waorked they offered to let us try. Now, the sun had set and it was dark in those woods, but just like Robin Hood I jumped on the swing and swang out over the ravine with nothing but pitch black beneath my feet! Tarzan had nothing on me! What a rush! Well, it was time to head back to our car and the real world. I have since lost contact with my friends and they say that log cabin burned. A new road has now bypassed that stretch of wood. All that is left are my memories and a tale by the locals of....... a civil war ghost that crosses the road once and again!True story!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Go to The Hills

Ps 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

Make a Smilebox photobook

Climb every mountain,

search high and low

Follow every byway,

every path you know.

Climb every mountain,

ford every stream

Follow every rainbow

'til you find your dream!

A dream that will need

all the love you can give,

Every day of your life

for as long as you live

Climb every mountain

ford every stream,

Follow

every

rainbow

'til you find your dream!

Dedicated to my mother, Gail Combs Moore. This was her girlhood home, Island City, KY. Her church and the road with many stops to her beloved grandmother's house are pictured here. I loved spending my summers here. I think when I go back for visits that everything should be the same, but I know my memories are of happier times. Mamaw Becky has passed, buildings have decayed and because of sin some have chosen hard lives. I am glad of the hope of Heaven and can't wait to visit Mamaw Becky again there.
