The Land of Misfit Furniture

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Good bloggers only post pretty photos.  Good bloggers have titles that maximize search engine optimization.  You will get neither of those things in this post.

Happy Hey Girl Valentine’s Day

Hey Girl Link Party

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Today is the day we have all been anxiously waiting for.  It’s time for the Hey Girl link party.

I can’t see what you all came up with.
Nate didn’t really see the humor in this whole thing.  Fun hater.  His negative energy messed with my creative mojo so I only came up with one for him.

Ike, on the other hand,...

This Valentine’s Day wreath isn’t entirely my fault.

Our craft night has two simple...

Who’s ready for my “super fun announcement”?

Well, I feel that about 96.4% of you are going to be a bit disappointed but I think you’ll recover because the fun announcement is that awesome.

I am NOT pregnant.  I am not planning...
