You are brilliant.<br /><br />The pictures on the wall are actually always crooked. It has a lot to do with the cheap Ikea frames. It's just a matter of HOW crooked.<br /><br />My sister has yet to weigh in on the copied decor. I will hear from her though. <br /><br />I will try to see the before photo as fun, because it will be back that way in about one to two days. ;)JoKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282621916141807042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-22461609569369276342013-01-22T21:52:07.242-05:002013-01-22T21:52:07.242-05:00Thanks a lot. :) My daughter is really the fastest...Thanks a lot. :) My daughter is really the fastest when it comes to things getting out of hand.

Ma...Aw, thanks Tabetha! I love your taste too. :) <br /><br />Maybe Jolene is mixed with a skinny dog type. We're not sure. We give her the amount of food recommended and no table scraps, except for the things she steals. That can be significant on her lucky days or when we have company. She stills from visiting children especially.JoKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282621916141807042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-12702372277917713542013-01-22T21:22:16.738-05:002013-01-22T21:22:16.738-05:00I know how it can be with magazines, they seem to ...I know how it can be with magazines, they seem to be in every room of the house!!<br /><br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272811081912620854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-74942303529282515042013-01-22T20:56:31.725-05:002013-01-22T20:56:31.725-05:00I love that living room and that fireplace!!

The 'before' shot is hilarious with the poor dog looking like he's standing in the only clear spot ... and your explanation of your daughter's head stands and crooked pictures (I guess the gum fell out when she was upside down?!) ... right down to your prediction of your sister's reaction to your outright COPYING her!! ... REAL life!! Love it :) And I'm right there with you!! The after shot is amazing ... you got the 'calm' you wanted, but the before photo is so much more fun :) WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-22695599427944963232013-01-22T20:09:52.832-05:002013-01-22T20:09:52.832-05:00Wow it looks great!

Okay, we have a beagle mix {Doc} & he is also a vacuum & he is 12x as big as your beautiful Jolene! We can not figure out how he is getting so fat-- we have had him on a diet for the past 2 years.
