While I was reading, I noticed that you are interested in Interior Design. My daughter also loves Intererior Design and has her degree in it. Me and my daughters started a blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you. Your blog is so cheerful to me. I hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.<br />~Sheri at Red Rose AlleyRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864549244746309640.post-37572687284848459782012-02-26T14:17:19.863-05:002012-02-26T14:17:19.863-05:00Hi - what a nice post!

I love Lent. It's a special time for getting closer to the Lord and yes, for spring cleaning our soul! I love that concept of "spiritual spring cleaning".

I like the idea of "making room" instead of the focus on doing without. I didn't recognize your blog! Nice changes. And your new linens are just darling! So springy. I have to tell you how wonderful it is to hear such complimentary comments from you.

I read a lot of blogs and I am inspired by the creativity and artistry out there, as they are things that are important to me.<br /><br />But the bigger side of my life I would say, would be the religious/spiritual side and I haven't really featured that much at all on my own blog. Perhaps I will share more of that side in the future. You've inspired me. :-)<br /><br />Oh and around here, Lent is big. We love Lent. Sure, we have lots of things we give up and extra things we take on, but we love it and look forward to every Ash Wednesday.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />~cathyOur Country Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825146961924099512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864549244746309640.post-67895477442724511562012-02-23T00:25:55.898-05:002012-02-23T00:25:55.898-05:00"spiritual spring cleaning."
