Hi Laurie....

Girlfriend, it looks like you had a great time on your blogging break! Loved all of the sweet photos of your grands...they're just precious! They looked like they sure did have a great time at Grandma and Grandpa's! Loved getting to see your beautiful "Bird" centerpiece! Hopefully we will get to see a little more from that party? Ohhh...and I love how your chairs turned out! They look soooo frenchy fabulous...you did GOOD, my friend!!! It looks and sounds like you have been a busy little bee!

I have been on a bit of a blogging break as well! In fact, I am just taking a little "sit-down" break and decided to check my blogs. Just getting home from a wonderful trip that Gloria, Len, Russ, and I took to the city! I had the time of my life getting to visit with Gloria this past week. I'm missing her already! Well dear friend, just popping in to say hello and see how you're doing!

Love ya,
Chari

Hi Laurie,
It's so nice to hear from you! You've been a busy lady!
Your chairs look fabulous and your Memorial Day with the family looks like it was really fun. I spied those patriotic melmac plates! Anyway, glad you are still blogging, even though it is only a little bit! xo Delores

Oh, I was so excited to see a post from you pop up on my sidebar! Looks like you've been busy and enjoying family and time to get some things done for "Laurie". That's a good thing! The chairs look terrific! So are the new graphics. Glad to see you back. I never did get to read Embracing Eyes. I wouldn't allow me the next day.
You want to send it again? I'd love to read this. ~ Sarah

I was just heading over to say,"Laurie, I MISS U....PLEEZE come back!" Now I don't have to----YIPEE!

Debbie said...

I'm doing a happy dance!! You have been sorely missed around here. I'm glad you had such a nice time on your blog break, and obviously your family did too.

Great job on those chairs! I love the way they look.

I'm looking forward to more adventures from Laurie Land.

Kathleen said...

Of course we are here! Love your scrapbook, and the chairs came out great! Posting once a week is enough for me.
Blogging takes up a lot of time, and there are lots of things to do out there, that get neglected.
I don't like to do a post and run, we all know people expect to be visited back and although I love it, it is time consuming!
Congrats on finishing the book too!!! Now I know 2 authors! :)

Amanda said...

Hi Laurie! I love your blog scrapbook! It looks like a fun time was had by all! Your chairs turned out beautifully! You should be proud!
Best Wishes and blessings,
Amanda

Now that's one productive bloggy break, Laurie! I bet the grands benefited from it the most, they got your full attention. You did a great job on the dining chairs, I love them! I love your bird centerpiece, so pretty with the mirrorred plateau...Christine

Unknown said...

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Looks like a wonderful break. Love all the pictures and a great job on that chair. Welcome back. I will be gone the next three weeks.
It won't be easy for me to be away but I'm also very excited about my trip to Europe.

Sue said...

Laurie, Are you renewed? I've missed reading all about your goings on! Your painting project sure turned out great- they look so fresh. Glad you had such a wonderful time w/family for the holiday. Stay cool! It is hot and humid here and I'm sure you are experiencing the same. Hope to see ya again soon. xo Sue

And those chairs turned out just wonderfully! You go girl!
And the flowers all look gorgeous, you've been a busy gal!
