What a beautiful spot Jeanne ~ and a much better use of the space. I can see you in here ~ I really can. Loving that you kept your wreath up ~ it looks right at home. Lori @ Wildflowers
Where This Woman Creates
Does this room look familiar? Up until last week my studio was in our unfinished basement. My husband had been trying to talk me into taking our dining room as my studio for over a year. He couldn't stand that the room was only getting used three to four times a year. I had been ...
I don't really have any questions now that I know that Jeanneoli is not an old family name! I cannot wait to see what questions people have and to read your answers!
An Open Book
I have seen this on a few blogs and I thought it would be fun. If you have questions....I have answers. I am pretty much an open book anyways. Do you have a question about starting a business, decorating, fashion, creating, homeschooling???? Ask whatever you want. I will answer the questi...
Oh my goodness - this is too funny!! For the record I never thought you were a grandma at all. As for the Jeanneoli - I JUST got it! I thought this was your given name and everyone called you Jeanne for short. You are not only a beautiful person ~ but a beautiful lady. I love the recent pictures and really ~ do you ever take a bad one ~ you are SO photogenic!
Grandma Jeanneoli
My story begins back in October. I had just met my friends Lissa and Becky in Boise for Brave Girl Camp. We had only known each other through our blogs at this point. They had arrived earlier in the day and I was arriving at bedtime. We had been talking for 30 minutes or so when Lissa and Beck...
I love seeing something brought back to life ~ oh the possibilities of it all. You are an inspiration Jeanne ~ I love your blog ~ your words and your pictures. The year ahead looks fantastic and I am so glad I get to share it with you through your words and photos.
Year of Possibilities
Not far from me there is an old, historic farm that is being brought back to life. Slowly the roofs are being repaired and the barns repainted. I do not know who owns this farm. I have no connection to this piece of land...but I can't pass the farm without looking. I have stopped more ti...
I adore this picture Jeanne! You have such a beautiful family ~ I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I am so glad that I found you this year ~ it has truly been a blessed year for me. Cheers to 2010!
From Our Family To Yours
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince Of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
I see you caught Lissa's addiction to shredded paper. Loving all your decorations ~ simply beautiful. The button garland is my fav along with your wreaths in the dining room windows...
All Dressed Up
On Saturday night we had our yearly progressive dinner with our neighborhood. We hosted appetizers and cocktails this year and we had so much fun. The house was all cleaned (thanks to the lovely cleaning ladies that I hadn't seen since the spring) and we had finished decorating the house. I...
I am so glad that Kelly is OK Jeanne ~ did they find out what caused the bleeding? Scary stuff ~ I cannot even imagine.
I love those little ornaments from Alice's Looking Glass ~ so adorable. I too have spent the day dragging out boxes and decking the halls. I figured out one thing today ~ I have way too much stuff!
Pretty Distractions
image found here We had a pretty hard week around here. We are getting back to normal but it is amazing how things can change in a moment and you are scrambling to stay above water. The day after Thanksgiving I got a call from my husband that he was in the emergency room because he had black...
I love Becky and the things that she creates. It is so exciting that she took the leap and opened her own Esty shop and cool that you did this piece on her!
When Your Heart Changes
Mixed media collage by Becky Strahle at Farm Girl Paints When your heart changes you see the world differently. You see yourself differently. You become stronger, wiser, braver, more compassionate, more lovely. When you see yourself for who you could really be....the whole world opens up. ...
Bravo for you Jeanne to actually enjoy the day and not let the cleaning and prep exhaust you before your company actually got there! I am trying to be better also ~ I know it takes self control and lots of time. I love the thankful tree and that picture of the pie ~ priceless.
Notes From a Recovering Perfectionist
(photograph courtesy of my seven year old) This is a story of a girl who loved to clean. Loved perfection. Loved order. This is a story of a girl that married a boy that did not love the above. This is a story of a girl that needed to let go of some control and a boy who met her in the mi...
Oh Jeanne ~ you nailed this! I completely agree with everything you said. There are true friends and there are acquaintances. I surround myself with people that know me, the real me and like me anyway. Girlfriends that just know by a look or a tone how I am feeling ~ when I need to talk or just be. I believe that as we get older, we come to this realization. Toxic and one sided friendships, well I just don't have time for them. They are relationships that you should not need to work at or coddle ~ put on your big girl panties and give something back already! I love this post.
Be Choosy
I don't know about most of you girls out there...but I need my girlfriends. I need talks over coffee. Laughter in the dressing rooms. Whispering during the movies. Crying over nothing and everything. I have had friendships that I wish I would have fought harder to keep. Friendships t...
What a perfect little party! I love the little pies and cakes.
Tiny Party!
I had a tiny party with my nieces, Chloe and Annie and their mom (my sis-in-law) Alison this weekend. Everything was tiny - except the fun. We made tiny aprons for all their dolls and tiny dishtowels too. And then we packaged it all up in tiny little bags for the dolls to take hom...
My Mom used to have one of these as I remember her making matching buttons for some of the dresses she used to sew. I should dig around as her sewing machine is now here and I got everything that was in it! They make such a difference on your coat!
Covered Button Cuteness
Just recently, I showed you the little covered buttons I made and added to a summer jacket. I love how simple it is to makeover clothing pieces and add my own personal touch. I purchased a heavy winter coat from Forever 21 and knew some simple covered buttons would be perfect. Here it is befo...
These are breathtakingly beautiful!! I cannot wait to go through your blog and find more fabulous photography. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Flickr Faves of My Own
Tonight I was sorting through photographs from the last few years since getting a DSLR. These are a handful of favorites I wanted to share. Now, if I could only get them organized and filed I would be set. Have a wonderful weekend.
Wow ~ what an inspiring post. Your artwork is amazing and a great reminder to you everyday of the time you had, the friends you made and how we should all be thinking...
Remembering Your Truths
I started off my second day at Brave Girl Camp with an early hike with some of the girls. Idaho reminds me so much of Colorado and I really felt at home. Because I have three younger children at home it isn't often that I am out taking a walk as the sun is coming up. I really believe...
Wow ~ what an awesome tent! You can't judge a book by its cover perfectly suits this diamond in the rough. Meeting and spending time with Becky & Lissa must have been incredible ~ I love the bird seed and throwing your worries away ~ what a great start. I cannot wait to hear more...
Brave Girls Camp
This is a hard post to write because there is so much in my heart that I will never be able to express to you. I got home Saturday evening and every time I talk about the week I get tears in my eyes. It was just amazing. I will try to tell you little bits and pieces throughout the week and hope ...
Any chicken recipe is good in my book and this one looks yummy. We did breakfast for supper tonight so I made choc chip pancakes and sausage. I love breakfast, so it is always a treat and we do it every once in awhile for a change of pace. We tend to fall into food ruts ~ I am like you though wanting to cook and bake and nest as the weather gets cooler.
What's For Dinner??
I do not feel like cooking in the summer. I leave it to my husband to grill and I add a salad to it. I don't know what it is....but as soon as fall arrives I am wanting to bake and cook more. I want to nest and fluff the whole house. I am wanting to paint right now and create. So..I am getti...
All I can say is WOW! These are simply amazing photos! You have a gorgeous family Jeanne ~ you must be soooo pleased with these. Thank you for sharing your sneak peek with us.
Family Photo Shoot
Family Photos. With these two little words do you rush for a carton of cigarettes and a bottle of liquor? I have to admit that typically I find them a little stressful. Sure...easy to get the three kids coordinated and looking good...but throw me and my husband in the mix and it can be a nightma...
I love your list! I could live in pajama pants too and I would be right there with you reading People, on occasion of course! My first car was an orange AMC Hornet station wagon with brown paneled sides. The tape deck had the Footloose tape in it for months! It was a hand me down car from Mom & Dad ~ lucky me!
Free Shipping and Some Awards
First of all I want to thank all of you that made my fall collection such a huge success. Honestly...I was smiling for weeks. I am now busy trying to get ready for Silver Bella so I will not be adding anything new until I get back. In honor of you, fall, me ;-) and that I will not be able t...
