April 17th Photo-A-Day SNUG
Photo-A-Day SNUG Ohhhhhhh here I go again with my own weird interpretation of the prompt. I’ve told you tons of times how weird my house is laid out. Weird angles. Odd walls. HUGE rooms, teeny tiny laundry room. The corner of the basement bathroom has a very tight V shape that isn’t wide enough to host the trashcan. You can’t have a drawer there or a cabinet. It’s just odd. The house has are 45 stairs each a different height and a different width. My SNUG prompt beats all those. The guest bathroom in the top floor has a beautiful large bathroom. It’s bigger than the master bathroom in the…

April 16th Photo-A-Day TINY
Photo-A-Day TINY. I was headed upstairs to scour the house for my idea of TINY when it hit me I have an entire shelf dedicated to TINY! I’ve mentioned before, this house has some of the oddest corners and peculiar areas. Like a small alcove just before my craft room. The HUGE area at the top of the steps outside the master bedroom that serves no purpose. I don’t understand the rhyme or reason to several areas. This lip or shelf as you leave the craft room isn’t really large enough to do anything with. So as the construction workers found things they started setting them on that lip. The…

April 15th Photo-A-Day TRANSPORT
The Photo-A-Day choices were Sadness which I was going to be funny and show the IRS logo and remind you that today TAXES are due. That inspires sadness in me. Hobby was another choice but since I dedicated the entire MONTH of March to my HOBBY that seemed really redundant. Then I saw TRANSPORT and that struck a funny cord in me. Soooooooooo I give you my interpretation of TRANSPORT!! Am I a funny girl or what? I told you! I collect some of the oddest things! This little donkey has been with me for years. He is so stinkin’ cute I can’t seem to get rid of him. Do…

April 14th Photo-A-Day ENTRANCE
So, my plan for the Photo-A-Day prompt of ENTRANCE was going to be the tree house. But, it’s raining. I’m sugar! I WILL MELT!! Okay, fine. I just don’t wanna tromp through the mud to go to the scary tree house. So instead you get the entrance to our home. Oh and a side note here we are getting a new roof; a metal one so that the snow slides off. I’m thinking red. Whadda you think? Some of the accent pieces on the decks and under the awnings are painted red. I thought it would be a nice compliment. BUT since we are in the middle of the woods…
